Publisher Hachette Partworks has now made it’s Build-Your-Own Xenomorph collection available in the UK, following a trial in France. Hatchette is known for many magazine collections, including numerous Build-Your-Own collections that includes another science-fiction icon, the Terminator T-800. The Build-Your-Own Xenomorph collection is 100 issues long, and comes with the parts required to a build a half scale/1.2m Xenomorph!
The magazine includes an assembly guide, various lore articles and articles about how the Alien was brought to live with multiple techniques over the series. The model itself will have a moving inner-jaw, a light under the carapace and a sound sensor that moves the Alien’s head to follow sound.
The collection started releasing on the 2nd of February, and a subscription is available through Hachette’s website which includes 5 additional gifts. Issues will cost £10.99 (aside from the traditionally cheaper first couple of issues) and release weekly.

I remember "The Sharper Image." Sadly, no xenos. Just massage chairs and a lot of silly things.
This made me giggle with joy
Anyway, I'm glad it comes in UK ! I found it surprising that it started in France ^^'
Looks super cool though.
I remember a time when, for the low, low price of 3 or 4 thousand dollars US, you could get a 1:1 pre-assembled, fully-painted replica of the Big Chap in a mall store called The Sharper Image. Imagine that!
Unfortunately, most stuff from Sharper Image is junk, and I suspect their Big Chap was no better. But I saw it once, and it was kinda cool!
What are you - Rockefeller ?
Issue 1: £1.99
Issue 2: £6.99
Issue 3 onwards: £10.99
With 100 issues, that's £1,086 in total.
For an Alien which turns a light-up head in response to sound.
I mean...
This looks amazing. Sadly it doesn't seem to be available in the U.S.
So glad you will post videos of it.
