REBOR have revealed their latest tyrannosaurus rex/xenomorph hybrid, the Swarm X-Rex Plague variant. This item is now available for pre-order from Big Bad Toy Store. Genetically splicing dinosaurs with Aliens. Nope. can’t go wrong with that idea, right?
Aside from an alternate paint scheme on the biomechanoid therapod, this variant differs from its earlier released REBOR predecessor with a completely new head sculpt with this version featuring the classic keratinous carapace frequently appearing on Alien heads. Here’s some product information from BBTS, “From Rebor, this Swarm X-Rex figure measures about 17 inches long. The Plague Variant version has been made of solid PVC and features a new head sculpt and coloring. The figure features a removable head dome and tongue, rotatable arms, and a bendable tail.” Sounds like a fun piece to me. You can pre-order now for US$49.99. The expected arrival date in store is sometime in July, 2020.

Marmit ALIEN statues in the past have been very favourably received by fans and rapidly became sought after collectibles. It would appear Medicom will continue this trend with this release. Here are some details courtesy of their
So, if your dank vehicle – or adobe – is in need of freshening up, then now is a good time to grab some of these air fresheners as the supplier is holding a sale on them. I’m not sure what an Alien would actually smell like but I am thinking a mixture of sump oil and stale blood is as befitting an odor of what a biomechanoid parasite would smell like. Nonetheless, there are 4 Alien and Facehugger designs, each emanating different odors of “New Car”, “Stormy Night”, “Strawberry” and “Black Diamond”. Remember, these are unlicenced goods but word is they’re pretty solid product. Now is as good a time as any to have a facehugger dangling from your rear vision mirror – if such activity is legally permitted in your part of the world.
Previously, these items were appearing on HIDEOUS PLASTIC but were bundled in with the equally weird bootleg ALIEN toys. Recently, I have received some welcome new content and can justify ALIEN PEZ dispensers having their own page. These unusual fan art objects are 
The figure appears to be good with all parts present as per the vendor’s description. The box looks to be almost complete. It has the typical marks of aging; various creases, mild warping of shape and occasional stains. The poster is in matching condition. There are 2 important points of note regarding the box. Firstly, the red insert card is present, which is a good thing. Secondly, the window in the top of the box may be missing which is unfortunate because that absent feature alone deprives it of any claim to completeness. It’s difficult to determine if the window is present with such an incomplete photo documentation included in the listing. It’s worth contacting the vendor and finding out. Otherwise, if you have a spare US$725 just lying around in a shoe box with nothing else to spend it on, this is a perfect solution to your overflowing money problems.
The problem with this listing isn’t just the figure – there may be no issues with it at all. It’s difficult to be conclusive due to images being adjusted, all the contrast has been ramped up and any issues that may be present are concealed. As to whether this is deliberate attempt by the vendor to hide undocumented issues is beyond my goal. I’m just going to call attention to what is actually visible in the software adjusted images. 
This looks like a great, well rounded set with each character having at least one accessory, except for Bishop. A duct taped pair of weapons is included with Ripley, Newt has her doll’s head Casey and the marines each carry their signature weapons; and in the cases of Hicks and Hudson a pair of helmets to match. In lieu of any weapons or helmets Bishop has a unique pull apart action feature. 
This particular sample can be considered average at best. He’s missing his dome and the lower part of his tongue. While these appear to be the only pieces missing, his problems extend well beyond absentee body parts. The photos accompanying this piece aren’t the best quality and a number of other issues are evident – and others may reveal themselves to an uncautious new owner. Let’s check ‘im out in some detail from what images are available, including the blurring ones, in the listing.
