ALIENS (1986) - Alien Creature Costume
An Alien warrior costume from James Cameron's action sci-fi sequel Aliens. Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and the Colonial Marines battled Alien warriors throughout the film during their doomed rescue mission to the LV-426 colony.

Cameron tasked Stan Winston with updating H.R. Giger's original design for the alien creature. The creatures were portrayed by stunt actors and dancers to achieve the convincing dynamic movement of the revised warrior designs.

The costume consists of a black nylon bodysuit, with attached hard polyfoam parts moulded in the creature's iconic bio-mechanical shape, with foam boots, foam tail and slip-latex gloves. Completing the costume is a highly detailed replica headpiece, made from polyfoam with a soft foam interior; a slip latex-rubber replica chest panel; and back panel with the creature's distinctive 'exhaust' pipes. The components are held together with a combination of zippers, Velcro, metal pop fasteners, elastic and simple stitching.

The entire costume has a white, flaky residue, likely from the liquid applied during filming to give the creature its slimy look. It exhibits some cracks and small missing segments, the surface has become slightly tacky in places and it is missing the left elbow pipe, but otherwise remains in good condition. The costume is mounted on a custom-made display. Dimensions: 157 cm x 69 cm x 190 cm (62 3/4'' x 27'' x 74 3/4'')
