Custom LEGO Facehugger MOC Built From $109.99 Triceratops Set
Anderson Art's new Alien Facehugger design needs no extra pieces beyond the LEGO Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops set, with PDF directions sold on Rebrickable for $7.99.
LEGO builder Anderson Art has published a custom Facehugger design on Rebrickable that repurposes pieces from the LEGO Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops set 77985, according to movieweb.com.
The build is a MOC, or My Own Creation, meaning it is a custom design made with existing pieces rather than an official LEGO set. No additional pieces are needed beyond the dinosaur set, which retails for $109.99.
PDF directions for the alternate Triceratops build can be purchased from Rebrickable for $7.99. The instructions offer two versions: a 1:1-scale Facehugger model with poseable legs, a bendable tail and underbelly sacks, and a smaller scout-sized version.
Background
The Facehugger was introduced in Ridley Scott's Alien (1979) and was inspired by the visuals of H.R. Giger. Anderson Art has previously turned the LEGO Tuxedo Cat into a Xenomorph head and egg, and the Creator 3-in-1 Cute Bunny set into a miniature Facehugger and Chestburster. The builder has also created projects dedicated to Interstellar, Masters of the Universe and various Marvel superheroes.
