My dad loves anything that involves aliens. Whether it be books,
documentary's, clothing, or props; he loves them. A few summers ago
while visiting my uncle in the city he had something special for me to
bring back home. He initially gave it to me, but I knew just the fella
that would adore it.
It was a Gray Alien Body Prop. This little gray alien standing up
measures in at 4 feet tall. The moment I saw him perched up on a chair
in my uncles apartment, I wanted him. He was made of rubber latex, and
was foam filled, however his limbs had bendable metal wires inside so I
was able to position him the way I wanted. Even his fingers included the
wire, so I was able to give people the middle finger, or have him hold
small light objects.
The photo I have included does not really do him justice. When you are
up close you will see how much time and effort went into painting him
and making him look realistic. His body although is mainly gray comes
colored with veins, and green vein areas on his head and face.
His eyes are black, and are oval shaped. His ribs are visible looking,
and he has no belly button, breast or private parts, so he/she is able
to be left out naked. However what's cool is that you can dress it up.
He is able to fit into clothes that would fit a 3 or 4 year old child.
So if you want you can be extra bizarre and dress him up. You can add a
wig or a hat and leave him at your front window for visitors to see.
Quality:
I have had this alien for quite some time now, and so far the rubber
latex has withstood being bent around, and stored out open in the
basement when Halloween is over. Even in the moist basement atmosphere
the Gray Alien Body is still in perfect condition(only he smells a
little musty now). His paint has never peeled, and his wiring can still
be bent.
Where did my uncle get him though?
This is still a mystery. I assume he picked him up at a local
Halloween shop a few blocks from his home, although I never bothered to
ask.
Recently though, I came across a site selling the 4 foot tall Gray
Alien Body Prop. The price however startled me, and I felt bad for
accepting such an expensive prop. At $297.00, I felt terrible for taking
him home, but he insisted, and I hope he didn't pay that much for the
alien.
If you can find him cheaper on amazon or on ebay I would recommend buying him there.
Why the Gray Alien Body Prop?
Why!? Because no one else will have one. The alien also makes for an
awesome addition to place on the couch during a Halloween party.
This alien is also a sure pleaser for those interested in aliens and sci-fi (like my dad, whom by the way loved the alien).
Where to get your own alien if you can't find it on an auction site?
You can pick him up at www.nightmarefactory.com
for the price mentioned above. Here at the site you can also pick him
up in flesh color. I however recommend the gray colored alien.
Overall, you will not be disappointed in this little guy. The alien is
made of high quality materials that will last for years and years. When
you spend a lot of money on a prop, you get a lot in return; and what
you get is a realistic looking alien, that will shock, surprise, and
bring laughs to your guests.
