Starting with this custom Trilogy:

I particularly love this one, simple, gorgeous:

Anyone else have any favourites or memorable ones?

My vote for worst Alien cover given the God awful toy on the back

My vote for action figure awfulness goes to this one. You can see the torso separation, and the Scar helmet, just bizarre. They bothered to cover up the joints for Alien so I rate it ever slightly higher.

I also really do not like this one, I might find it inoffensive if the order made some sense though, like the individual cases:

At least the Predator one doesn't make the Predator look goofy as f**k. The Alien is laughable.

I have a particular soft spot for double feature covers.

Remember my uncle had this one.

I always did like these designs for some of the AVP collection covers:

And some of the bad ones:

For me the best still has to go to the original Quadrilogy:

I love both the facehugger boxset and the Alien Quadrilogy head. They were some of the items I coveted the most and was lucky enough to snag both over the last few years.

I love the box design of the Alien Quadrilogy from 2003, and receiving this set was a pivotal moment for me in Alien fandom.
