This item comes with a Prop Store Certificate of Authenticity. It comes on a custom-built display, keeping it in its iconic pose, and is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Dicken. Some of the foam latex on the tail has flaked away, as has some of the latex on the legs. The facehugger is discoloured as a result of age, turning from a pale-skin colour to a darker brown. The piece has some wear from production use and aging, and Dicken has undertaken some cosmetic repair work to the surface and the embryo sacks. On the underside of the facehugger, the metal skeleton is exposed. Latex sacks on either side have an egg-shaped weight within to ensure they hung correctly over Kane's face. The legs feature articulated wire cores attached to the skeleton. A monofilament wire protrudes from the end of the tail and fingers, which would have been pulled to give the impression of the facehugger tightening its grip. The flexible tail is made of foam latex to enable it to wrap around the victim's neck. The facehugger skin is made of latex and features realistic detailing, including veins, wrinkles and ligaments. Dicken then sculpted, cast and constructed the creature utilising a metal skeleton with a fibreglass-and-resin torso. It was subsequently re-designed in collaboration with director Scott, writer Dan O'Bannon, Dicken and artist Ron Cobb. It was originally a larger creature that would have wrapped around the outside of Kane's helmet. However, Giger's initial facehugger design was altered considerably. Giger, who was responsible for creating the Alien aesthetic, including the Alien itself, the crashed ship they investigated ("The Derelict"), and the "Space Jockey", the large creature they found on board. The facehugger was originally designed by Swiss surrealist artist H.R. This facehugger was obtained from the collection of its maker, special effects legend Roger Dicken, who has been its owner since filming completed. Captain Dallas (Tom Skerritt) and navigator Lambert (Veronica Cartwright) brought him aboard the Nostromo, placing the rest of the crew in danger. Kane (John Hurt) got too close to one, and a creature attached to his face. After the mining vessel Nostromo received a transmission from a desolate moon, the crew discovered mysterious eggs in the bowels of a crashed vessel. A special effects facehugger from Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror Alien.
