It looks like the first issue of Hachette’s over sized DIY ALIEN kit is now available from their webstore. Issues, 2,3 & 4 also look to be available, if not now, then soon. I’m not exactly sure as I don’t read French. Hachette’s ALIEN project is a weekly (or monthly?) part works subscription from the publisher. This first issue includes a number of goodies including the first piece, the upper skull, orbits and maxilla of what will become a half scale (four foot tall) replica of the Alien, complete with electronic and motorised parts. Swoon. I’ve been keeping an eye on this item for a while now. I don’t know if an English version will become available but let’s hope so. It looks like many other print goodies appear to accompany this wonderfully ambitious product.
