Thought it would be cool do go into a bit more detail on some of the items on offer this month especially as Ive added 2 collections to the drop ship with specific themes. Spoiler alert, Ive gone super nerdy on the 3rd collection!
So as part of the 3rd collection on offer Ive starters to explore some of the wider Alien universe and the characters within it, each of these pieces have been designed to look similar to a pane in a graphic novel and incorporate LEDs to enhance the mood and drama.
Who is Ol' Blue?
The Xenomorph known as Ol' Blue features in the comic Aliens: Music of the Spears, this Xeno was one of the few cases where a Xenomorph was used successfully as a tool of mankind without it turning on its handlers.
The Dark Horse comic was written by Chet Williamson, pencilled by Tim Hamilton, inked by Timothy Bradstreet, coloured by Matt Webb. The artwork in this comic is fab and what particularly stuck out to me was O'l Blues unique colours and markings.
Background
"After a group of ninjas led by Ahiro infiltrated MedTech and stole a Xenomorph egg, Phillip Rice led a small security team to track down the egg, as well as the culprits. Rice selected Blue to rely on it's sense of smell to sniff out the egg's scent. Blue's body was restrained with reinforced muzzle and cuffs to prevent it from harming any civilians during the team's investigation in the streets of Manhattan. Unfortunately, Blue mistook the pheromone emitted from a Xenomorph Jelly drug being sold by a dealer nearby as a pheromone from a rival hive member, triggering Blue's territorial instinct. Despite being heavily constrained, Blue manages to escape. Blue tracked down the source of the Jelly pheromone and killed both the dealer and the buyer, Rice was able to recapture Blue and fled back to MedTech's security headquarters before there were more witnesses."
"Before heading out to locate the egg, Rice installed MedTech's most powerful anesthetic, Surgealyn onto Blue's restraints to sedate Blue in case it reacts aggressively again. Blue was eventually able to locate the egg's scent, which led the team to Synsound's building where they discover it was Synsound that was responsible for stealing the egg. Rice administered a small dose of Surgealyn to calm Blue down and had it locked in a cage until they dealt with the situation. Rice and his team headed upstairs and killed Mozart, the Xenomorph that hatched from the egg, Rice later killed Ahiro as well and confronted Brangwen about the egg. With the mission completed, Rice and his team took Blue back and returned to headquarters."
