    I've got a bat...

    Following in the current trend of threads about hats and cats.. I came across this "little" beauty tonight. ( I say "little".. but it's got a 42 inch wing span!!)

    Am getting rid of some "junk" from my flat as I have to move down to London at some point in the very near future.

    I opened a cupboard and found some hitherto forgotten "toys" I'd purchased. This Little chap, and two rather large "Aliens" plush toys. (Alien Chest Burster and Alien Face Hugger)

    I'm thinking about putting them on Ebay (I'm sure some daft begger would want them!)

    Got me to thinking .. what's the oddest thing you've bought/sold on Ebay ??



    (and if anyone wants these.. make me an offer )

    These are my other two cuddly creatures.. and no.. I don't normally sleep with them (or any other soft toy for that matter)

    I think they're cute.. in a strange sort of way

    I was ten when Alien came out... I remember being absolutely fascinated by it, but at the same time utterly petrified. One of the kids at school got hold of the comic book adaptation which was enough to give me nightmares for weeks. When I finally saw it for the first time, I found it a terrifying film (I had a nervous disposition in those days) It may be pretty tame by today's gory standards, but I still think it's a masterpiece of a movie, and the alien designs are some of the best and most frightening ever to be committed to celuloid...

    And you have a cuddly facehugger.
    And a cuddly chestburster.

    I have no words

    I'm sad, but I'm seriously considering seeing the second Aliens vs Predator film when it comes out (end of next week, I believe).

    Yes, I know, it'll be crap - but, it's Aliens! And Predators! And guns!

    The trailer's great.... and I thought this had a chance of being pretty good, but... Rotten Tomatoes 17%. The reviews are wretched - you might seriously want to think about saving your money on this one...

    Getting reviewed as 'better than the first AvP'.

    I'm seeing more reviews which say the opposite...

    And one or two which said that they didn't believe anything could be worse than the first AvP.... until they saw this one.

    Either way though - it's not as if it's a very high benchmark.

    And you have a cuddly facehugger.
    And a cuddly chestburster.

    I have no words
    I do.. they hold no fear for me.. as I said.. I think them rather cute. My Arachnophobic friend doesn't like the face hugger though. I'd rather have these in the house than a clown any day.. Clowns scare me..

    Aliens were misunderstood.. all they wanted was a warm place to lay their eggs, and some DNA to base their parasitic life forms on.. Not their fault.. they weren't evil.. they were just a highly evolved predator. Clowns on the other hand.. I'd be more afraid of Ripley going one on one with Ronald McDonald than a fully grown alien personally

    Ah that would be telling.. (Does my laptop, PDA ,Wireless Keyboard and MP3 Player count as hard toys btw???)

    or a shark e.g. Bruce (Great White Shark) from Findin Nemo

    It might not be crap!! The 1st AVP scared the living daylights out of me But hopefully will be able to see the AVP 2 but really wanna see Sweeney Todd; Johnny Depp can't sing

    But they are somehow still scary - even in plush toy form!! I flinched when I scrolled down and spotted the photo!
