Posted on 24/06/2021 by windebieste

MEZCO TOYZ have revealed their Mezco Designer Series (MDS) Deluxe ALIEN figure. This little chap is a 7 inch tall, fully featured effigy of the Big Chap from ALIEN. It is fashioned in Mezco’s articulated styling, including accessories and interchangeable parts. The MDS Deluxe ALIEN figure is available now for Pre-Order for US$50. Just check out all the goodies that will be included.So many features will be appearing with this wicked little brute. Here’s what you can expect to find inside the display worthy window box when it arrives on your doorstep, “The hostile Xenomorph features a hinged outer jaw with a pop-out pharyngeal jaw inside and removable drool FX, interchangeable hands and legs and a posable tail. Don’t get too close! The included Ovomorph egg contains a posable Facehugger as well as an interchangeable top so the Ovomorph egg can take on both open and closed forms. If you couldn’t escape the Facehugger, you’re not gonna like what happens next. The infant form of the Xenomorph, the Chestburster, is also included and has a posable tail.” Too much fun to be had right there. Available next year, sometime in April.

POLYFUSION – Xeno Pony Resin Kit

Posted on 13/06/2021 by windebieste

Have you ever wanted your very own My Little Pony/Alien hybrid? I bet you do. While custom made “My Little Xeno” kit-bashed art objects are nothing new, these xenomorphic unicorns from Polyfusion look stylish, fanciful and somewhat concerning.

Cast in polyurethane resin and standing at a healthy 20cm high, these items are made in a limited edition of only 30 units. Finished in either black or white, each figurine will set you back a solid EU$80. Here’s some info from the manufacturer “Each piece is handmade and may vary from the one pictured. We try to minimize variations from piece to piece but it is a natural part of the handmade process. No two objects will ever be the same. First our sculptures are digitally sculpted, 3D printed and molded (the old school way). From that we create multiple durable casts.” Sounds like a great, fun piece to have in your collection. Thank you Ann Val for calling this wonderful item to my attention. I love it.

Update – HIDEOUS PLASTIC Book.

Posted on 13/06/2021 by windebieste

Around this time last year, I published my first book, HIDEOUS PLASTIC – In stores everyone can hear you scream. Sales have been slow but steady; and a little patchy to say the least with some weeks better than others. Nonetheless, to say that the past twelve months have been unkind to the world is an understatement. So, I’m grateful for the sales that have been made and importantly, purchasers appear to be happy with the result.

Here’s some of the feedback I’ve received from eBay sales.

I’m pleased with these responses to the book. I need such feedback to help sell remaining stock. I still have around three hundred and fifty copies on hand. So such endorsements are a valuable tool to achieving this goal.

HIDEOUS PLASTIC – In stores everyone can hear you scream. is an almost 300 page book dedicated to understanding the eighteen inch tall ALIEN action figure toy released by Kenner Products in 1979. More information about the book can be found here.

The book is available on eBay right now. The price has been reduced from AU$65 to AU$55. Global shipping is available. Apparently it’s a good book and people like it. This pleases me to no end and makes it “Mission accomplished” on those terms alone.

Daniel Yu – Custom Painted ALIEN ReAction Figures.

Posted on 04/06/2021 by windebieste

Custom toy figure painter, Daniel Yu, has produced some new, unique eye candy for us to enjoy. Once again, Daniel has applied his creative talents to some four inch tall ALIEN ReAction figures and the results have been impressive. Here’s a pair of uniquely painted Xenomorph figures released by Super7 in 2020 and based on creatures appearing in the 1986 movie, ALIENS. This is a pair of commissioned pieces. The blue, blood spattered Xenomorph figure displays traditional colours associated with the movie while the other figure is blessed with a more creative colour scheme. They’re both great pieces. The blue figure is fantastic but if there’s one thing I’ve learned about purple Aliens, women love ’em. So, this pair of custom painted pocket size art objects has an all ’round appeal. Check ’em out below.
