April 26 is Alien Day, and Disney\u2019s celebrating the occasion with a big new piece of xenomorph merch.<\/p>\n
That would be an animatronic Xenomorph that stands at 6 feet and 8 inches tall. Sculpted in detail to look like it came from the movies, the animatronic also moves like the iconic monster\u2014it\u2019s got an inner mouth, and the torso moves in a side-to-side motion. For\u00a0Alien\u00a0<\/em>fans with indoor space or a covered porch to put it and $450 to spend, the Xenomorph animatronic may be for you, and you can order it from Spirit Halloween starting today.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The\u00a0Alien\u00a0<\/em>franchise got some recent news courtesy of Noah Hawley. Speaking about\u00a0Alien: Earth,\u00a0<\/em>Hawley told Deadline shooting for season two would happen this summer, and teased he\u2019s got an endpoint in mind. Whether he gets there or not is entirely up to the audience, but he thinks the show and overall franchise could go on for \u201ca very long time if we nurture them.\u201d<\/p>\n As for the movies, there\u2019s not much news on the sequel to Alien: Romulus\u00a0<\/em>other than it exists. Last year, we learned Fede \u00c1lvarez would return to co-write its script and produce, but not direct. Instead, that duty will go to someone else, but Disney\u2019s yet to announce a name. We\u2019ll report once the news breaks.<\/p>\n In the meantime, there\u2019s the animatronic Xenomorph, which will be perfect for Halloween\u2014or even just as a buddy any time you rewatch the Alien\u00a0<\/em>films.<\/p>\n Want more io9 news?
