For the 30th anniversary of 'ALIENS', Fright Rags has packaged together a little anniversary box of goodies to celebrate James Cameron's 1986 masterpiece!
On their website, they gleefully gush about the film (and rightfully so!):
"I'm sure I'm probably not alone when I say that ALIENS was my first introduction to the Alien franchise... it still remains my personal favorite of the series and just doesn't get old no mater how many times I watch it.... On Wednesday, June 22, we will be celebrating its 30th Anniversary with a brand new collection of shirts, baseball tee, socks, and an exclusive limited edition box set."
The anniversary box includes T-Shirts, Lobby Cards and a Patch. Pretty exciting... I was all aboard until I took a closer look and realized they use the WRONG ALIEN on 3 shirts, a lobby card and the packaging itself.
Let's take a closer look:
^ This alien is from the movie 'AVP'.
The image itself is from ADI's promo photoshoot, showcasing the alien suit they build for the film.
___
^ This shirt uses the Smooth Domed aliens seen in 'Alien', 'Alien3', 'Alien: Resurrection' and 'AVP', as well as the "Swimmer Tail" from 'Alien: Resurrection, 'AVP' and 'AVP-R'
___
^ ...and uses a promo screen grab from the video game 'Alien: Isolation'
___
^ This shirt uses the alien from 'AVP-R'
___
And then there are these:
1 of the 4 Lobby Cards is an image from 'ALIEN 3'.
And on the side of the packaging, they use ADI's life-size maquette for 'ALIEN: RESURRECTION'.
___
I believe I'm able to recognize these obvious use of the incorrect alien because I've watched the movies. I don't mean to toot my own horn here, but I've also been known to be able to spot the differences between Stormtroopers, Snowtrooprs, Biker Scouts and Clone Troopers.
