Grid Alien

From McFarlane Toys comes the Grid Alien as seen in the Alien Vs. Predator movie.

The giant figure comes in a large rectangular box decorated with Alien photos.  It is open on the front and partially on the sides so collectors can see the Grid Alien through the clear plastic.

McFarlane Toys was at the height of its popularity at the time this figure was produced.  The company was dominating the toy market with its incredibly detailed figures from all genres: movies,TV, sports, etc.

Audiences have been frightened out of their wits ever since director Ridley Scott introduced the Aliens in the first horror movie in space: Alien.

After three sequel Alien movies and two Alien/Predator films and two follow-up pre-Alien movies moviegoers can’t seem to get enough of the exoskeleton monstrosities.

McFarlane Toys has done an amazing job of recreating the Grid Alien with its 12-inch, articulated figure.

The Grid Alien comes with a special base that can attach to the companion Predator base.

The figure comes in a large box decorated with photos of the enclosed figure. The box has a full front clear panel for viewing the enclosed figure, which is secured in place with wires.

The Alien figure stands approximately 12-inches tall.  It’s partially articulated but is meant mainly to be a centerpiece display, much like a statue.

Combined with the Predator the figures make a frightening scenario.

Its long head is marked by green gird marks over its blue/black head.  The figure’s body is of the dame blue/black with finely colored variations and shading.

The creature’ maw is wide open revealing its razor sharp teeth and massive jaw and neck muscles.

The torso, hips, legs and arms look skeletal with sinew and muscle stretched over through each part.

Its massive rib cage is heavily boned and the shoulder sockets are pronounced and extend over and in the shoulder area.

The two arms are segment and the elbow areas have bones protruding past the upper arm areas.

The four-finger hands have large claws as do the four digit toes.

The legs are attached to the pronounced and protruding hipbones and the creature also has a long prehensile tail with multiple bone segments.

The surface areas on the Alien are highly detailed, as is the creature’s head, tail and the twin bony protrusions from its spin.

The creator of the Alien: H.R. Geiger, would be astonished and pleased with McFarlane Toys’ interpretation of his famous space creature.
