Alien Space Jockey Maquette Now Available For Pre-Order

Sideshow Collectibles makes some great Alien figures, but this latest announcement is for one of the coolest Alien collectibles ever. The Alien Space Jockey Alien Maquette is arriving in late 2015/early 2016 and boy is it beautiful.

It measures 21″ H x 18″ W x 23″ L and is based on the character in Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi horror classic Alien. Take a look at some of the images. The detail on this thing will blow you away. Totally worth the $599.99 asking price.

Long before Prometheus uncovered the origins of the Engineer and his species, the mysterious ‘Space Jockey’ captured the imaginations of movie-goers around the globe. First encountered by the doomed crew of the ship Nostromo, the haunting discovery of the enormous lonely star gazer remains one of the most memorable moments in the Alien franchise. Based on the iconic bio-organic industrial designs of Swiss artist H. R. Giger, Sideshow’s artists have faithfully captured every detail of the fossilized sentinel, a tragic traveler who fell victim to his own lethal cargo and was forever frozen, trapped in time and space.

Star Wars Death Star 1:1 Prop Replica For Your Desk

This is no desk toy. This is the mother of all desk toys. This 1:1 Death Star replica is probably the best Death Star you can buy for your home. It was made by Etsy seller iscreamcandy and has a circumference of 50cm and is made from polystyrene, acrylic paint, silicone and plastic. If only I had a place to put a Death Star right now. This thing is awesome.

All windows are hand punched and movie accurate, and even light up with LED lights. The detail is super nice. Vader and Emperor Palpatine would be proud.

Five-Foot-Long LEGO U.S.S. Enterprise

LEGO the final frontier. This is an amazing replica of the original U.S.S. Enterprise in LEGO. It is even more amazing when you consider that it was built so that all of the little studs are not visible. It was created by LEGO wizard and Star Trek fan Chris Melby.

He used 18,000 LEGO bricks and worked on it for 8 months. It measures over five feet long and these images just blow me away. Too bad we don’t have any official LEGO Star Trek sets.

Amazing Sci-Fi Ship Replicas Made Using Just Paper

Look at the images below. Do these model of Sci-Fi ships look like paper to you? No way. They look like professional replicas. However, every single one of them is a papercraft creation. They were made by Japanese craftsman uhu02. I am just blown away by the level of detail and the fact that they don’t even look like paper.

He has created an X-Wing, a TIE Interceptor, Viper Mk2, 2001’s Orion and many more! This man is a true artist with paper.

Aliens Power Loader 33-Inch Statue

The latest toy to take our money is this awesome Aliens Power Loader 33-Inch Statue. Not that we are complaining. Hollywood Collectibles has gone all out on this thing. The Caterpillar P-5000 Powered Work Loader was used by Ripley to defeat the Alien Queen! This statue was recreated from the original blueprints and you can see for yourself that no detail was spared.

It’s exactly the same size as the model used for filming the movie. That would be an impressive 33-inches tall x 25-inches wide. It has a webbing operator harness made of real material, a working light-up hazard light on top, and an accurate weathered finish. The detail is pretty stunning. This is a must for fans of the Alien franchise. A quality statue like this doesn’t come cheap. It is priced at $1,199.99.

Adam Savage Builds The Space Rifle From Barbarella

Watch as Adam Savage builds the sexy and curvy space rifle from the 1960s Sci-Fi cult film Barbarella. He makes it by hand with only one image for reference. If you are in doubt that Adam is a true master in his field, just watch him work.

The end result is a sexy and sultry weapon that Jane Fonda would be proud to take into battle. It’s a long video obviously, but it is well worth watching.
