Facehugger victim action figure

Custom action figure of Kane with facehugger. The notes say:

This is a custom figure I purchased about 6 years ago...maker unknown.
Kenner had made prototypes for 3 3/14 inch figures and had already released the 18" Alien that was quickly pulled from the shelves because parents felt it was too frightening for the kiddies.

Via.

Link roundup

1. Fun time waster: Knifetank: The Hauntening, a web based point and click adventure in a creepy mansion.

2. Long article at Fast Company about Boing Boing. This quote from Cory Doctorow struck home:

"I don't know what a liquidity event for Boing Boing would look like," Doctorow continues, "except for a job. If we were acquired by some content giant, if Yahoo or someone bought us out, it's just a job at Yahoo." (This is purely hypothetical, he says.) "If I wanted a job at Yahoo, I'd go look for a job there; they post listings pretty regularly. I'm glad not to have a job. I don't want a job."

I came to that same realization after an extremely short-lived experiment blogging elsewhere earlier this year. So short I didn't even have time to mention it here.

3. Really nice photos of one of Neca's Alien figures. (The site is full of high quality photos of expensive toys.)
