Here's the Alien items being auctioned at the Prop Store Live Auction of Film & Television Artefacts:

ALIEN (1979) - Nostromo Crew Trousers

A pair of Nostromo crew trousers from Ridley Scott's sci-fi thriller Alien. Similar uniforms were worn by the crew of the ill-fated mining vessel, including the blue uniforms worn by Ash (Ian Holm) and Brett (Harry Dean Stanton).

Inspired by the work of Moebius and designed by John Mollo, the garment is made of blue dyed cotton. Belt loops fitted with press studs run around the waist with Velcro fastenings on the pockets and leg cuffs. The text “IH (2)” is written on the waistband in black marker. The trousers are unsized with the waist measuring 48 cm (19”) across.

Faded over time with additional wear and modification from subsequent use in other productions (including a lost press stud on a belt loop and several repairs on the legs), the trousers remain in fair condition

£2,500-3,500



ALIEN (1979) - Set of Call Sheets

A set of production call sheets from Ridley Scott’s sci-fi thriller Alien. Mimeographed typescript single-sided on white paper, this complete set includes 82 call sheets dated from July 3 to December 29, 1978 and 15 insert call sheets dated from November 20 to December 8,1978.

The sheets detail the production from start to finish, including cast, crew and departmental requirements for each shoot day. Sheet 28 also features a letter from Jon Finch, who was originally cast as Kane, in which he sends his regards to the production after his hospitalisation following a diabetic attack. The sheets remain in very good condition with only minor creasing and tears present. Dimensions each: 33 cm x 20 cm x 2 cm (13” x 8” x ¾”)

£800-1,200



ALIEN (1979) - Ripley's (Sigourney Weaver) Flamethrower

A prop flamethrower used by Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in Ridley Scott’s sci-fi thriller Alien. This style of “incinerator unit” was used by Ripley as well as the Nostromo’s captain, Dallas (Tom Skerritt), as the dwindling crew tried to escape their ship and kill the alien life-form on board. It screen matches the flamethrower used by Ripley as she fled the ship.

All of the flamethrowers made for the production featured slight differences in the arrangement of their working parts, making the weapons highly individual. This version was a practical unit made for close-up scenes and is made primarily of wood, aluminium and steel with some resin components. Finished in grey and distressed to look hard-worn, the controls on the grips and the red and white gas tanks are non-practical pieces. A black synthetic webbing sling is mounted on the top of the weapon from metal sling loops.

To simulate functionality the unit used a steadily burning pilot flame, with gas provided from a rearmounted supply piped to a nozzle at the barrel and ignited using a spark plug. A simple on-off flow valve regulated the gas during use. The weapon has been carefully deactivated since filming for safety reasons.

Some minor wear is present, and the flamethrower has had some minor sympathetic restoration over the past 35 years. Interestingly, this flamethrower can be matched to original period reference photographs taken by Ridley Scott’s driver, Pat Lowry when he was transporting the unit from one set to another. The weapon is in very good condition and is supplied with a signed, framed photograph of Weaver and a custom-made display base. Dimensions: 20 cm x 86 cm x 55 cm (8” x 34” x 21½”)

£25,000-35,000

ALIENS (1986) - Male Colonial Marine Uniform

A Colonial Marine uniform from James Cameron’s action sci-fi sequel Aliens. Uniforms such as this one were worn by the Marines sent with Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) to LV-426 and were seen throughout the film.

Made of cotton with a custom brown, tan and grey camouflage pattern, the uniform’s shirt features two pockets and brown buttons on the front while the trousers have pockets and a zip fly. The distressed shirt has screen-printed insignia on the arms, though no name tapes are attached.

The uniform remains in very good condition and was originally purchased at the film’s inventory liquidation sale in London in 1987. The costume also includes yellow C&G Costumiers labels, indicating the shirt is a 107 cm (42”) chest and the trousers are a 79 cm (31”) waist with an 84 cm (33”) inside leg.

£1,500-2,000



ALIENS (1986) - International One-Sheet Poster

An international one-sheet promotional poster (G folded condition with creases at edges) from James Cameron’s action sci-fi sequel Aliens. Dimensions: 69 cm x 104 cm (27” x 41”)

£40-60

ALIENS (1986) - Reebok "Bugstomper" Crew Jacket

A crew jacket from from James Cameron’s action sci-fi sequel Aliens. Made of grey cotton by Reebok, this lightweight jacket features a zip front closure, knitted waistband and cuffs, epaulettes at the shoulders and a pair of pockets printed with the film’s title. The rear features the “Bugstomper” nose art seen on the Colonial Marines’ dropship in the film along with a Reebok tag. Marked as size large, the jacket has some very minor fraying on the cuffs and waistband but is in otherwise very good condition.

£200-400



ALIENS (1986) - Alien Warrior Suit

An alien warrior creature suit worn in the James Cameron’s action sci-fi sequel Aliens. Stan Winston Studios was tasked with updating H.R. Giger’s original design for the alien creature and built several styles of alien costumes to meet different requirements. This particular suit was worn by a stunt performer during the film’s many action sequences. Aliens also made use of full-size puppets, but all shots requiring dynamic motion were accomplished by the talented stunt team.

The costume consists of a black nylon bodysuit with attached hard polyfoam creature parts. Some of the pieces are still coated in their original yellow alien blood. The piping sections on the arms of this costume are actually painted lengths of string rather than the corrugated tubing, which is present on the legs. The twine detailing was acceptable for this stunt costume as it was designed for use in fast-moving action sequences.

This costume came directly from a senior member of the stunt crew who wore it during production and was gifted the piece after filming. The piece is displayed on a custom-made stand and remains in remarkable production-used condition. Dimensions: 57 cm x 45 cm x 170 cm (22” x 17½” x 67”)

£20,000-30,000



ALIENS (1986) - 1/4-Scale Alien Queen Puppet

A ¼-scale puppet of the Alien Queen from James Cameron’s action sci-fi sequel Aliens. This puppet was used for the model miniature shots during the scene in which Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) drops the beast into the Sulaco’s airlock, only to be dragged down with it.

Conceived by director James Cameron and brought to life by Stan Winston Studios, the puppet is made of multiple components built around a metal armature for strength and was designed to be dropped to accommodate the shot. The head, crown and body of the puppet are made in dense urethane. The Queen’s teeth are cast in translucent resin to match the detail of the full-size creation. The arms are made of foam latex with urethane used for the tail, while the legs are made from latex and polyfoam.

Due to their age, the outer limbs have deteriorated. Wire runs down the length of the tail and down the arms in order for the limbs to hang freely for the fall. The Queen’s carapace is finished in black with blue highlights to match the lighting of shots within the Sulaco hangar. Due to the age of the piece, the foam latex components have stiffened and become brittle, crumbling at the extremities and points of stress. However, the head and crown remain in very good condition. The puppet is supplied with a custom-made display stand. Dimensions: 73 cm x 46 cm x 74 cm (28¾” x 18” x 29¼”)

£20,000-30,000

ALIEN³ (1992) - Crew Jacket

A crew jacket from David Fincher’s sci-fi sequel Alien³. Made of black artificial leather by Custom Special Tees Inc., the collared jacket features a zip and button closure at the front and open pockets at the sides. The back features the Alien³ logo embroidered in white and a patch for the Weyland-Yutani penal colony on Fiorina 161 is embroidered in black and white on the left arm. Another black and white patch bearing the “Serenity Through Confinement” emblem seen on Weyland-Yutani staff jackets in the film, appears on a pocket on the crew jacket’s interior. Marked size medium, it remains in worn but very good condition.

£80-100



ALIEN RESURRECTION (1997) - Ripley's (Sigourney Weaver) AR-2 Flamethrower

Ripley’s (Sigourney Weaver) flamethrower from Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s sci-fi sequel Alien Resurrection. A practical “incinerator” version of the multi-function AR-2 assault rifle, this particular unit appears to have elements that match on screen to the scene in which Ripley threw the rifle to the ground after burning the various failed Ripley clones.

The weapon is made primarily of fibreglass and features rubber and metal dressing components running along the barrels. To create the pilot flame effect, gas was piped into a tube run through the length of the weapon to the nozzle beneath the top barrel, which had an interchangeable head for use on screen. This head was replaced with the standard non-practical AR-2 version after this sequence was filmed. A Surefire tactical light, activated by a switch built into the body of the weapon, is fitted into the weapon’s front grip.

A working electronic counter is fitted at the top of the receiver. Powered by a 9V battery within the upper barrel, the readout counts down when the lower trigger is pulled.

The rifle is well-used and shows production wear, including a large crack through the receiver—likely caused by Weaver dropping the piece in the scene—which was repaired during the production. Dimensions: 9 cm x 100 cm x 27 cm (3½” x 39½” x 10¾”)

This item contains electronic components. While every effort is made to describe them accurately, no guarantee or warranty is made as to functionality, lifespan or safety of those components. It is entirely incumbent on the new owner to satisfy themselves as to their safe use and maintenance.

£3,000-5,000

Nice stuff! I think this puppy should be mentioned here as well:


A chair owned by Giger himself.

Estimated at £60,000-80,000… ouch. I guess I won't be replacing the Aeron just yet. lol

Always nice to see good photos of this sort of thing (even if the prices make me weep).

Just sit back and imagine owning all that in the ultimate man/woman/other-cave....

I'd love that Queen puppet, ya know... Christmas is just around the corner if you all want to chip in....

Unless I am mistaken, I believe those marine BDUs were once owned by a forum member here. They never pinned down the actor/stuntman/scene they were used in, which is probably why they are so "affordable". Good for him though. Seems he will be getting some good value out of them (or already has if the prop store bought them off him already?)

And side note, is it wrong that the fact they are a 31 waist means I am no longer interested?!? Crazy that the fact they don't fit me is a bigger deterrent than the price which I can't remotely afford! As if I would run around wearing them or something...

There's also some Predator 2 contacts: http://propstore.auctionserver.net/view ... /lot/1494/

I was the owner for about a year of the ALIEN³ (1992) - Crew Jacket. It was a very nice jacket, but the leather wasn't very comfortable. In one of the inside pockets was still a comb left from the previous owner who worked on the movie.
