The lineup includes five figures: 'Alien,' 'Alien (Inner Mouth),' 'Ellen Ripley' wearing a space suit at the end of the film, 'Kane & Facehugger' and 'Egg & Chestburster' that can be used to recreate scenes from the early part of the film. The facehugger is detachable, so you can enjoy sculpting it on its own.
In addition to the overwhelming scale and quality that goes beyond the boundaries of gacha, the coloring is also reproduced based on the material from the movie. In particular, the two alien types use clear parts for the heads to meticulously recreate the shape of their suits, and when assembled, they stand approximately 122mm tall. The body is partially movable.
The price is 500 yen per play. The release date is mid-December 2025, and you can search for stores selling the tickets on the official website after the release.

However, since he is said to have died in his mid-20s, it would be unnatural for him to have no children at all, so it is believed that he did have some.
