From Ninjago to the Nostromo, this LEGO part makes the perfect Alien Facehugger

LEGO builder and Alien fan Dan Hollogast, who goes by Owlhead online, discovered that the Ninjago anaconda bone helmet, turned backwards, uncannily resembles a facehugger. Building on that Giger-esque bit of NPU, Dan recreates the scene on the Nostromo where the crew of the Nostromo investigate the creature attached to Kane’s face for an act best not described in polite company.

Dan ably captures the pristine med bay of the Nostromo with great care paid to matching the on-screen look, down to the floor pattern.  I don’t know what those greebles above the table are for, but they look very science-y.

Of course, things won’t stay clean for long. Moments after this scene, everyone gathered around the table is about to lose their lunch. Talk about mess decks! Am I right? For more on the lifecycle of everyone’s least favorite uninvited party guest, be sure to ingest our Alien archives.
