The Good Smile Company has announced pre-orders are now open for their highly stylised and articulated, 11cm (about 4.5 inches) tall Nendoroid ALIEN figure. I have to say, I have no idea what a “Nendoroid” is. I assume it’s a product line native to the Good Smile Company. All the same, that head is tremendously detailed feature, coyly offset by the much less proportionate and stumpy torso and limbs. Neat. Here’s what the supplier has to say about this little… er… face ripping cutie pie. “From the sci-fi horror movie “Alien” comes a Nendoroid of the Alien! While the Alien has been brought down to cute Nendoroid size, its terrifying looks have been perfectly preserved with incredibly detailed modeling.The figure is fully articulated, allowing you to display it in a variety of different poses. Optional parts include a Facehugger, a Chestburster and an alien egg effect sheet! Enjoy mixing and matching optional parts to create all kinds of situations in Nendoroid form!” Sounds good to me despite the fact I still have no idea of what a “Nendoroid” is. I’ll take their word it’s important. Somehow. Release date is November, 2022. Price is around US$95. Looks like a great fun item.
