Elkridge, MD (May 28, 2004) - Like the best hunters, the creature in Ridley Scott's original sci-fi classic Alien, was able to use its own biomechanical appearance to blend in amongst the pipes and conduits of the doomed spaceship, Nostromo. Striking with deadly precision and grace from the shadows, the creature massacred almost all of the crew members, with little effort.

Now you can bring home a bit of this otherworldly terror for yourself, with Palisades Toys' first polystone Alien wall plaque. Based on the creature from the original film (known to some collectors as "Big Chap"), this elegantly detailed wall plaque has a diameter of over 9-inches, and comes complete with all of the detail that you have come to expect from Palisades.

"Our Alien products exceed our expectations, one after another," says Palisades President & CEO Michael Horn, "And I for one am thrilled to see our creative team moving in a new direction. Personally I think [the wall plaque] is one of the most elegant pieces we've ever produced."

The plaque also comes with the ability to be wall-mounted, or if you prefer, to be displayed on a shelf. The suggested retail price is $64.99; look for the plaque to hit shelves this fall.
