10 Hilariously Awful Pieces Of Movie Merchandise

2. Aliens Micro Machines

When I first saw this one, I actually had to check several websites just to be sure it was real; I couldn't help but feel like it was photoshopped. After all, why would Micro Machines, whose toys are typically aimed at ages 4-11, suddenly launch a tie-in with the immensely popular with children "R-rated rape allegory monster movie"? Everything about this is wrong, from the gory image of a man being chest-bursted on the right-hand side, to the fact that they're Micro Machines. I just can't get my head around it; who in the Micro Machines ideas department thought this would be a good idea? It appeals only to that tiny demographic of man-children who are shameless enough to still play with Micro Machines and also love gory body horror sci-fi action films. Good luck trying to get a hold of it now; naturally, it's a collector's item.
