Even the menacing Alien that terrorized Ripley and other humans needs to let off a little stress — apparently it does it by practicing the ancient Indian art of yoga. A set of approximately 2.2 inch figurines from the Japanese toy manufacturer, Kotobukiya, will be available in blind box sets beginning April 2016.
The non-articulated figures are highly detailed in their sculpts despite their miniature stature. All six figures feature the Alien monster in various yoga poses such as headstand, lotus, sphynx, and others, although technically only one of the poses is officially called "yoga" according to the official product description.
Kotobukiya is well known for its craftsmanship of collectible figurines for science fiction and comic book toys. The company was founded in 1953, but it was already in existence before that as a single shop selling dolls as early as 1947. From humble beginnings, it has now grown into "Japan's #1 Collector Toy Company."
The Big Chap alien featured in the six new collectible mini figurines shows off its moves in the officially listed pose variants like hanging, sitting, prone, squat, headstand, and yoga.
So while waiting for the new sequel to the 1979 "Alien" pre-quel, "Promethius 2" which will be directed by Ridley Scott, or the delayed but still in the works "Alien 5" to be directed by Neill Blomkamp, you may want to get your hands on these quirky little Big Chap Alien figures when the blind boxes are released next year.
According to Kotobukiya, each blind box will come with two random Alien mini figures, and were made in cooperation with Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation.
Remember, in space, no one can hear you scream. And no one will hear this normally blood thirsty alien getting its "Om" on either.
