Funko Will Unleash a Specialty Series Xenomorph

Ridley Scott’s Alien turns 40 this year, and the iconic Xenomorph is getting a special treatment from Funko to celebrate.

The Blue Metallic Alien 40th Anniversary Pop! Vinyl figure continues the Funko Specialty Series banner, which will release one new product each month as a way to support some of the smaller retailers that stock Funko product. After all, it’s no secret that you can find an assortment of Pop! Vinyl almost anywhere, but shopping small businesses—such as boutique retailers, specialty stores, local comic book shops and select online retailers—is the only way you’ll find the Specialty Series.

“Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal…”

You can expect to find this special Xenomorph lurking on store shelves this month.
