This ARTFX+ release is based on the Alien dog Xenomorph first seen in Alien 3! They are also called Runners and this statue is a terrifyingly hideous re-creation in 1:10 scale. This is the perfect nightmare creature to add to your collection. He is crouching low, creeping forward on a specially designed base, and even has limited posability in the tail. Alien fans are going to love this one.
If you enjoyed David Fincher’s Alien 3, you’ll enjoy seeing some more behind the scenes footage of what went in to creating the special effects for the movie. The video below focuses on a baby Alien called the Bambi Burster. It reminds me just how much I love practical effects and I’m glad they seem to be making a comeback with the new Star Wars movie.
The “Bambi Burster” was cut from the film, but this video shows a test of the unfinished puppet. In this case it looks like they were having a hard time getting the movement down. It is awesome that these guys got to play with all of the cool toys back then.
