The Greatest ‘Alien’ Action Figures That You’ll Never Own
In space no one can hear you scream, “These are the coolest toys that never existed!”
The Verge writes about sculpture and toy collector Dayton Allen, who has been creating some of the greatest action figures you’ll never own.
From the 1979 Alien to Prometheus, and even the vid game “Alien: Isolation,” Allen has been sculpting the toys that he wants – and doing it better than anything you can buy in stores. In fat, he even builds out dioramas to put the toys in their rightful environments. H.R. Ginger would be so very proud!
For Allen, this made Alien an ideal project to tackle: not only was it his favorite sci-fi movie, but he’d also be helping to fill in a gap. “One of things I most enjoy about the hobby is creating figures and environments which the current toy industry would never consider producing,” he tells the site.
Take a sneak peak below at some of his Alien sculpts, with tons more – including Blade Runner and The Dark Knight Rises – over at his official Flickr page.
The discovery of life beyond Earth leads to paranoia and danger for a family in the new trailer for The Outer Threat.
The sci-fi thriller heads to Digital and VOD on July 10, 2026.
In The Outer Threat, “After making a groundbreaking extraterrestrial discovery, astrophysicists Daniel and Michelle are forced to flee from home with their family — pursued through the countryside by a relentless and anonymous assailant. As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.“
The film comes from writer-director William Woods and stars Constance Wu, Mark O’Brien, William Fichtner, Callista Crowe, Isaac Smelcer-Zhang, Oscar Hsu, and Murray Furrow.
Maddy Falle, Albert Shin, and Allison White produce. Executive producers include Rob McGillivray, Ben Stranahan, Tom Spriggs, John Hansen III, Patrick Vipond, Jared Blaichman, Jonah Blaichman, and Randall Okita.
The Outer Threat arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, circling similar territory. The truth about the existence of aliens leads to danger in the trailer below.
