Elkridge, MD (December 22, 2003) - It has been almost two years since Palisades Toys launched its hugely successful line of Alien™ polystone products, and each consecutive piece seems to sell out more quickly than the one before it. And the line shows no signs of slowing down in 2004.

The inaugural Palisades' Alien piece - long sold out, and perhaps the most difficult to find on the secondary market - was a beautifully detailed version of the Alien creature from the original 1979 film. Now, in celebration of the recent expansion of their Alien license (to include all four films in the series), Palisades is pleased to present a very limited, all-new interpretation of the Alien, made completely out of pewter - the Alien: Special Edition Pewter Mini Bust.

Limited strictly to 750 pieces world-wide, the Alien: Special Edition Pewter Mini Bust is a shared exclusive between Aislesniper.com in the United States and Blister Direct in Japan. Weighing a monstrous twelve pounds, and packaged in a deluxe wooden collectors box (perfect for display), this very limited piece is sure to be highly sought after.

"We have held off on producing an Alien exclusive for some time," says Palisades President & CEO, Michael Horn, "However, it has become extremely evident that there is not only a demand for more Alien products, but specifically there is a great demand for high end Alien products. This piece will certainly fill that niche."

The Alien: Special Edition Pewter Mini Bust carries an SRP of $299.99, and is available for pre-order now at www.Aislesniper.com and www.Blister.jp.
