20th Century Fox and A-Box have collaborated and made an Alien Covenant Mystery Box.
Check it out

It's $55 and it has a life sized replica inside...
What do you think?
I think I'd never spend $55 for unknown content
Not even if you knew the contents of the box is 2/3x the value?
i want to see what the t shirt looks like.
Never buy a pig in a poke.
A life sized replica of what? It could be a life sized replica of the crew patch or the nodding bird ornament.
Also why advertise the t shirt as cringe worthy? Weird
what does it say about me that i think life sized replica and i think sex doll?
if that's the case, let's hope it's not the xenomorph

Might explain what the tubes on his back are for
glad to know i'm not the only weirdo here

we're not fingering again, are we?
It's where the black goo goes
Covenant flopped so Fox needs extra money.
Ok about the alien on the cover... where did that come from? I always thought that was just some random fan art and not a professionally made piece?

It was a non-commissioned piece (a practice run if you will) by one of Covenant's concept artists, Dane Hallet.
So essentially fan art that got officially adopted.

I know I was just expressing my surprise at the fact that whiterabbit wasnt aware of it, considering that its a cover of Making Of book
Im interested but i cant afford it lol.

Oh, I thought that picture was just a place holder for the book tbh. I hadn't bothered getting around to ordering it because I thought it looked like, honest opinion here, shit. Which is why I am shocked they used it for the box cover.

:laugh: I hated it at first too, but then I thought it looked a bit like the DaVinci drawing which fits the vibe of the movie, so I dig it now

Oh. Damn. It does kind of look DaVinci. I can see the merit now but I still find it an odd choice for the box art.

Its better than that "colorbook" awful cover for the Official Collectors Edition book :laugh: (https://bnccatalist.ca/images/catImages/title/401145/9781785861925.jpg)
I think you sold me on the box art. Let's just leave it at that. :P
Cool.
Cool.
Really cool.
Really cool.
...I bet the life sized replica is a facehugger embryo as seen at the end of the movie.
I've decided I'm gonna give it a go. I'm just concerned over the frequency order. Where can I check to make sure I'm only ordering the one-off box and not subscribing?
I've seen what's in the alien box! :o
I'm sooo excited
The Alien box is a one off box, It's the only fully licensed box Fox are doing for Covenant.
So what I mean is you can only order 1 box, you wouldn't be subscribing if you are buying the Alien box.
Brilliant. Thanks for the clarification.
Just ordered, hopefully it's cool stuff.
Doesn't cringeworthy mean embarrassing?
"A cringeworthy t-shirt"
I always try to look as cringeworthy as possible. I'm sold!
I'm new around here, so I probably missed the thread if it existed before.
Did anyone get the Aliens Loot Crate from about a year ago? I believe it would have been around Alien day last year. I got it, some of the items were very good (the hardback Aliens graphic novel, the t-shirt, the facehugger eggs) other items were middle of the road to meh. It was about the same price as the box here, it was probably worth it, but just about.

Here you go, Chimpo.
This looks pretty cool! I'll get it if they release it over here in the US.

Thank You for the tip ;D! I'll definitely be looking around for it than!
Im gonna make out with my David blow up doll while I cosplay walter
I'll give you 10 cents for it fox & ridley
what kind of hat? like the crew wears?
I'd love it if it was one of the Moebius hats in the box!
Also ordered my box. :)
Really liked the hats in the movie, been trying to find similar ones but no luck.
ordered my box! im really interested in the life-size replica! I hope it's a neomorph newborn. that would be sweet
My wife bought this for me for Fathers Day, i csnt way to see what the replica is! ;D
Hi 426Buddy, The Alien A-Box doesn't ship until after fathers day! On the w/c the 26th June!

Yeah i know, I just meant that im getting it as a fathers day present, not that ill actually have it for fathers day. :)
Eh, I wish they'd just make Walter's hoodie available. I'd drop 50 bucks for that easy.
I bought the Aliens LootCrate, so I might as well pick this thing up too!
I just ordered. I can always use a shirt and the "life size prop replica" has me intrigued.
It's also officially lisenced and I want to give Fox more money for this movie. I've seen it twice and when I go to Wonder Woman on my day off, my girlfriend and I will also be buying tickets to Covenant again just to throw more money at it.
i bought this box 31 of may but on my paypal is still status order "Pending" someone can help me? coz i don't know what i have to do :-(
Hi Mateusz,
Email me nathalie.d@a-box.com with the item number we can sort it out!

You can buy it already because it's a commercially available hoodie. It's around $100.
At least people have identified it as the one he wears.
Yo that facehugger is pretty great actually. The NECA one is fun to flop around, but it's a shame it doesn't latch onto your face. I hope they mass produce that thing. It looks kinda cheapish anyway.
The "hat" is a bit disappointing, I was really hoping it would be a replica of the one they wear in the film. But apart from that, I'm glad I've ordered the box. Can't wait!
thanks for the link, not going to be buying it ha
Awesome! Glad I ordered. I've wanted a facehugger like that for years.
Soon the Alien Covenant Mystery Boxes will no longer be on sale.
If you want to see what's in the box there are unboxing video spoilers online.
Check them out!

Oh yeah? I haven't seen that information anywhere.
They're commercially available clothing, I think. Designed by Craig something?
Craig Green!
Just got my ABox for alien covenant. Love the facehugger!

How would one go if one wanted to create an actual facehugger? 8 legs -> arachnid, but with humanoid fingers. Reverse-vagina proboscis thing for implanting the embryo. David must've done quite a bit of crossbreeding to get this thing right.
Got my box in the mail yesterday.
I think my favorite part of it is actually
