Alien [Black & White]

Released as part of the Pop! Movies line, this figure captures the extraterrestrial antagonist from John Carpenter’s 1988 satirical sci-fi classic, They Live. The design reflects the film’s iconic black-and-white aesthetic, which is used throughout the movie whenever the protagonist, John Nada, wears his special sunglasses to reveal the hidden, alien nature of the ruling elite. By stripping away color, Funko pays homage to the stark, noir-inspired visual style that serves as a central plot device in the film's critique of consumerism.

The figure was produced to celebrate the film’s enduring cult status, featuring the distinctive, skull-like appearance of the aliens as conceptualized by production designer William Ware Theiss. While the original practical effects involved elaborate prosthetic masks, this iteration translates those features into the characteristic stylized vinyl form of the Pop! brand. It is widely appreciated by fans of 1980s cult cinema for its faithful adherence to the source material's haunting visual identity and its role in keeping the imagery of the film relevant to a new generation of collectors.
