I honestly don’t have enough money or display space for the number of amazing collectables Sideshow Toys has been making.  There would be zero room in my office, livingroom, garage, heck, probably even my BATHROOM.  But I’d make space for this.

The Space Jockey, our first look at one of the non-humanoids in Alien:

 

 

“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. The Space Jockey Maquette will be an outstanding addition to any H.R Giger or Alien sci-fi collection.”
