by Chris HammondJanuary 25, 2018

Ruin any sit down meal forever with HOLLYWOOD COLLECTIBLES GROUP’s stunning life-sized CHESTBURSTER from Ridley Scott’s classic sci fi monster romp ALIEN. The figure captures the creature’s unforgettable entrance into horror movie stardom via Kane’s (actor John Hurt’s) chest.

The 1:1 scale (12-inch tall) Exclusive Edition collectible features metallic silver teeth and a museum-style base, along with  an individually numbered 6’ x 3” metal plaque (the non-exclusive version Chestburster does not include the plaque). 

As with all HCG Museum Quality pieces, this Chestburster is constructed from heavyweight polystone and mixed media, and then hand-painted with the finest possible detail. The Exclusive Edition is only available to 150 pieces (500 pieces sans plaque) worldwide, the pre-order is up now and will ship the second quarter of 2018.

Quarantine a spot in your display case now and check out more information!

I've written for multiple websites on the art and collectible front. The horror bug that lives inside me is well cared for and has been going strong since I watched my first introduction to horror through a grainy VHS copy of John Carpenter's 1978 classic film Halloween.
