First off, we're big fans of NECA and their figures. But recently, the toy manufacturer listed a new interactive Alien Egg with Facehugger plushy that's got us taking a second look. Plush toys are supposed to be soft, but there's nothing soft looking about this Facehugger...
It only takes one glance for you to notice. Now, we get it, imagery of this nature is at the core of H.R. Giger's masterful work in designing the original Xenomorph, the Egg and its invasive little Facehugger, but the confusion lies in this toy's intended purpose – is it a toy? Is it a display piece? Does the Facehugger vibrate? Why does its eyes look like that? People are sure to wonder.
NECA'S official product description details:
This egg is essential to the facehugger that resides inside! This Alien collectible set by Kidrobot comes complete with plush versions of an iconic xenomorph egg and facehugger. Designed with soft materials, both items feature wired sections so you can create your dream display. Shape the egg's flaps or bend the facehugger's legs, mouths, or tail to get the perfect pose! Inside the egg, you'll find green LED lighting to replicate that eerie glow from the classic film. Just press the switch to see it light up! A fun and unique way to show off your sci-fi fandom, this 13-inch interactive plush set is a must-have addition to your collection!
13 inches of fun way to show off your sci-fi fandom alright. I have a sneaking suspension NECA & Kidrobot are playing coy with this one.
Jokes aside, the light-up egg does look sweet and the plush Facehugger is a great idea – I have one myself, also from NECA, just not this specific type – mine isn't anywhere near as happy to see me when I walk in the room.
Those looking to order one for themselves, can do so via NECA's website – go ahead, we won't judge.
