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.
