Well, It Finally Happened: A Xenomorph Mr. Potato Head is Coming Soon
Because why not? WHY THE HELL NOT?!
This year’s Alien Day has been absolutely killer, and oh boy do we all have all sorts of awesome collectibles to look forward to in the coming months. Throughout the day we’ve shown you Alien stuffed animals and Christmas ornaments from Hallmark, Alien: Covenant POP! vinyl toys from Funko, and even a NECA Aliens Vasquez figure based on the ’90s Kenner toy line.
And we’ve got one last little treat to show off before we head off to sleep.
Now available for pre-order from PPW Toys is the Alien Xenomorph Mr. Potato Head toy, part of the company’s PopTaters line of collectibles. You may remember that PPW recently added both Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees to the line, and the Xenomorph will arrive on June 1st.
Horrifying meets cute in this mash-up as Mr. Potato Head pays tribute one of the most iconic and terrifying film series in history: Alien. As the titular character, “The Alien”, this amazing collectible toy stands 6″ tall and includes all the exoskeletal details of the nightmare creature, including the classic “two mouths” and spiked tail!
In addition, PPW also announced and unveiled the Alien Wood Nesting Dolls set, which features five stages of terror across five wooden dolls: egg, face-hugger, chest-burster, Ripley and finally the fully-grown Xenomorph. It’s also now available for pre-order, arriving on August 16th.
Check out both upcoming collectibles below!
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
