The success of Alien: Romulus proves that the Alien franchise is alive and well, and Screen Rant has a look at an incredible way to celebrate its legacy. Fun.com, in collaboration with Distortions Unlimited, have created an Alien Xenomorph mask that has its roots in the original 1979 movie. The mask took over a year and a half to develop and is designed to look as true to HR Giger’s original mask design as possible.
Screen Rant is excited to offer a look at a unique Alien collectible Xenomorph mask with unmatched authenticity and an exciting story. The mask was made by creating a mold from an Alien mask that itself was crafted from an actual studio prop. Though the first run of twenty $1789.00 masks sold out in less than 24 hours, more will be made. You can see the mask, and sign up to be notified when it comes back in stock, here.
Why Alien Remains So Impactful In Today’s Pop Culture
With Alien: Romulus performing well at the box office and the Xenomorph mask above selling out in mere hours, it’s clear Alien continues to live on in the hearts and minds of consumers. Screen Rant’s Alien: Romulus review touches on one of the main reasons why, which is that Alien created a visually striking world that audiences can’t help but remember. This is especially evident in the Xenomorph itself. Few movie monsters are as iconic as the Alien series’ original predator, although the series’ terrifying Facehuggers are nearly as recognizable.
All Alien movies tend to share a few things—androids, a slow escalation of tension, and derelict vessel hallways, for example—but the Xenomorph itself has undoubtedly played a singular part in helping the series endure. Even as later franchise films have departed from the story of Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley, audiences have flocked to the theater to feel the adrenaline burst of knowing that a Xenomorph could be right around the corner. Video games set in the franchise’s world have understood this as well, with games like Alien: Isolation and Aliens: Fireteam Elite pitting players against the acid-spitting creatures.
Alien films like the R-rated Alien: Romulus don’t usually linger on Xenomorphs long enough for audiences to take in the details, but the collectible mask seen above offers a close-up look at the details that make the creature so unforgettable. The eyeless face and unique head structure of the alien are on full display in the mask, and the fact that it is based on an original mold lends the collectible exciting authenticity. It’s a unique way to celebrate love for a beloved franchise, and an iconic movie monster.
