Photos of Sideshow’s Alien: Internecivus raptus Statue

H.R. Giger's Alien design looks great in paintings and on film, but it's always been tough to capture the right pose on statues and action figures. Thankfully, Sideshow Collectibles was up for the challenge and will be releasing one of the most unique statues of the Xenomorph (also referred to as Internecivus raptus on Blu-ray / DVD special features) I've seen to date:

Featuring one of the most iconic alien species ever to grace the big screen, Sideshow is proud to present the Alien: Internecivus raptus Statue.

Translated from Latin as ‘murderous thief,’ Internecivus raptus is one of the few official names recorded for the xenomorph species moviegoers have come to recognize most famously as ‘Aliens.’

Faithfully rendered with H.R. Giger’s visionary bio-industrial aesthetic, the specimen is suspended in an elegant pose – its structural perfection matched only by its hostility.

Digitally sculpted, and engineered using an advanced combination of high quality materials, including polystone resin and multiple durometer plastics, the Sideshow development team has been able to achieve an extraordinary pose and incredible fine detail, elevating the final presentation to a whole new level.

Solemnly ascending from a surreal monochromatic chamber, with limbs crossed and barbed tail coiled in an exquisite spiral around its lithe body, Sideshow’s Alien: Internecivus raptus Statue is a definitive tribute for Alien fans and science fiction collectors.
