Fellow ALIEN enthusiast, Baptiste Coudert, has acquired a test run of the first four issues of French publisher Hachette’s ALIEN partwork kit for review. This is an upcoming product currently undergoing testing in France. This item is not yet available but when released, this subscription based kit will allow buyers to construct their very own 1.2m (half actual size) articulated Alien. Exciting stuff! Let’s check it out in this detailed review – which in all actuality serves also as a preview of what you can expect when this series becomes publicly available. At least in France.

So there you have it. So much revealed in this video alongside the first four issues of DIY half size ALIEN space monster! Electronic parts. Lights. Remote controls. DVDs. Bonus 15cm high resin statue… Oh, my. I wonder what else will be featured in upcoming issues aside from much anticipated loose body parts? This is going to be a treat! Thank you once again, Baptiste, for taking the time to provide us all with an insight into the contents this upcoming publishing line has to offer. Hachette may be on to a winner with this subscriber kit. At the very least, it looks to become a very unique addition to anyone’s ALIEN collection. At four feet tall when completed, that’s not talking about it lightly, either.

No release information, distribution or pricing details are yet available for Hachette’s ALIEN partwork kit. Let’s hope for a global release.
