ALIEN DAY 4.26.2016 - LOOT CRATE ARRIVAL

Well I took the plunge and ordered the special 30th anniversary ALIENS Loot Crate back on 4.26 of this year...after waiting a freaking month, it finally arrived...





First thing out was the Titan Alien special figure...I believe this thing glows in the dark so I'll have to try that...





Nice graphic on the back of the box...



Next up was one of my favorite, if not THE favorite item in the box...a tshirt featuring the artwork from Hudson's body armor in the movie.

"Where's all the pretty shit now, MAN??!!"



Third is my other fave item...a 30th anniversary hardcover of the original Dark Horse AL()ENS comics from the early, early 90s. All printed in B&W...





I love how the pages are capped with a nice metallic blue ink...





Next up a note from "Burke, Carter J." and a metal printed AL()ENS poster.







Then the final piece...a carton with EGGS...very special eggs...










Comes with a set of directions and safety rules...



Oh hello...



Oh and did I mention the box folds outward into a makeshift APC from the film?







Oh yeah...all in all I'm very pleased with the crate. It's not all stuff I haven't seen before but the combination of all these items is tough to beat for an AL()ENS fan. I would have killed for something like this when I was 10, which I guess is kinda the point!

They mostly come at night. Mostly.

Uh Oh...they can still outrun us...and...outgun us...

Looks like someone went to Ed's Hobby Shop this past weekend...

Goat

Finished the goat art. Provided the original for reference. I like it, and I don't like it. May have liked the lighter, less shaded version more. Depends on the day. Onward!
