Elkridge, MD (January 27, 2004) - Palisades Toys is excited to announce that their first Alien Micro Bust - the Micro Alien Queen - is shipping to retailers now!! This Alien Queen, which stands about four and a quarter inches tall (roughly half the size of the original), still captures all the dynamic brilliance of the original sculpt... just on a smaller scale!

Based on the deadly creature featured prominently in the closing moments of the smash James Cameron movie Aliens, this reduced size special edition bust is perfect for those who want to show their love of the Alien saga. And at less than 5 inches tall, and carrying an SRP of only $29.99, this little Queen will leave you with more room on your shelf, and more cash in your wallet.

Each Alien Queen Micro Bust comes packaged in a full color, closed box, and is individually numbered. The first Alien Queen Mini Bust has long since sold out, and this limited edition Micro version is sure to follow. Get yours today!!
