NECA Unveils the “Royal Facehugger” Figure
Yesterday was National Hug Day, a day that brings people closer together as we put aside our differences and conflicts, choosing instead to embrace one another to show that we can all get along, that we can overcome hatred.
Or we can see it as a day where a Facehugger latches onto your face, jams its euphemized phallic tentacle down your throat, and proceeds to impregnate your torso with a xenomorph. Y’know, just those little romantic things that keep a relationship going.
To celebrate National Hug Day, NECA has unveiled a new toy that I think is really incredible. It’s for a “Royal Facehugger”, which is a specific type of arachnid-esque critter that bears the egg of a Queen Alien. We saw one very briefly in the director’s cut of Alien3, which stands apart thanks to the webbing between its legs as well as the overall larger size.
Below are photos of the toy, which looks absolutely fantastic, as per anything NECA does! They really show immense care for their products and I think that’s why they’re considered one of the very best at their craft.

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
