USB Alien! (for serious Alien geeks)

I have just received my USB Alien (bought it from Amazon). Maybe some of you know about it already, but I wanted to share it with you fellow Alien geeks. [IMG]http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/9084/package1.jpg[/IMG] The first thing that struck me was the packaging: solid, well made and with attention to detail. Just a couple of examples: On the bottom (who ever looks at the bottom?) there is the iconic Alien logo from the movie.

[IMG]http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/8770/skullup.jpg[/IMG] The legs can be moved at the hips, the arms can rotate at the shoulders, plus you can twist the hands around the wrist without fear of breaking it. And yes, the tail is bendy!!! [IMG]http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/3893/backeob.jpg[/IMG] Once plugged to a USB port (the USB cord is long 1m/40"!) it does random inner jaw attacks. At random intervals the tongue is pushed out (operated by gears) and a red light turns on inside the mouth. The tongue is as long as about half of the skull.

Sometimes it does two attacks in a row, sometimes the tongue sticks out for a longer time, you never know. I bought it on a whim, but it's way better than expected, totally love it.
