All things ALIEN on their way

Yep, it's the 35th Anniversary of Ridley Scott's Alien, and we've been abuzz with all the commemorative goodies that are on their way. After the exhaustive presentation of the Alien Anthology blu-ray set, another edition of Alien may seem a bit of a double-dip, but a nice limited edition is set to arrive on October 7th, including both original and director's editions, commentaries, as well as a reprint of the original Alien illustrated comic and H.R. Giger collectible tribute art cards. Amazon has it up for $21.24, so it's a pretty good deal.

Then, Surprise! Funko/Super 7 has released images of the 2nd series of retro ReAction figures in their Alien line, featuring Ripley in her white space suit, two versions of Kane (face-hugger and chest-burster) and the "Big Chap", rendered to resemble Kenner's old school 12" figure. Entertainment Earth has them up for pre-order with a November 2014 release date, just in time to tuck them into plenty of unsuspecting Christmas stockings! "Aw, you got me a chest-burster! Thanks, Santa!"
