A stunt facehugger from James Cameron's sequel Aliens. Xenomorph facehuggers latched onto the faces of their human hosts to implant deadly chestbursters within them. Alien effects creator Stan Winston made approximately 15 facehuggers for the film based on original designs by Roger Dicken and H.R. Giger. Much like its predecessor, Aliens was a commercial and critical success, earning Sigourney Weaver an Academy Award® nomination for Best Actress, the first Best Actress nomination given for a science-fiction film.

This facehugger is constructed of foam latex painted beige and pink and features yellow breathing flaps on the underbelly and eight latex legs. The legs have heavy seam lines and cast-in nails, and are believed to be cast from original moulds to complete the piece for display. The facehugger exhibits visible wear from age and use, including stiffening and cracking in the foam latex, leaving it in very fragile condition. Dimensions: 119.5 cm x 51 cm x 5.25 cm (47" x 20" x 2")

Estimate: £10,000 - 20,000 US
