Alien Egg...

I know, isn't CM or MR related, but can be a good companion piece to the upcoming CM Alien piece.

I will buy more than one and put around my CM Alien. It's cool in person, but IMO it needs to look more "dirty" outside, it's too clean the way it is. And the paint job isn't the greatest. I will wash paint it to give it a better look. Not bad for $60 and about 9" tall. With the possibility of looking much better if re-painted some . The FH looks really cool and detailed inside. The light up feature it's cool and works. Great on the dark.

Neither did I.

I saw it while I was searching for an Alien Egg to go with the CM piece, then found this one. I will post another picture after I modify(re paint) it some

I had this egg at one point but sold it. It's pretty good but overall I was dissapointed with the paint job.

Looking forward to cap's repainted one though.

The translucident look is great !

Cap, ever considered the Attakus Alien eggs set ? Not sure their scale would fit with CM Alien, but a nice piece nonetheless.

The Attakus is only around 5" tall. Too small to display with the CM Alien.

Expensive too...

I have that one and it is nice but the light up sux a bit since you have to use batteries and they last only about a day or so.
IMO the Attakus ones are MUCH better! but yes, more expensive and yes no light up feature and yes a bit smaller in height, although I think these could be used next to the CM Alien.. not sure about it, scale-wise.. Remember that the Attakus one have an facehugger crawling out of it.

Yup, the Attakus looks awesome, but too small I'm afraid, otherwise I would have purchased it. I may get 2 more of these to display with the CM Alien.

Speaking of CM Alien, damn it!!!
