Negotiations are under way between McFarlane Toys and famous Swiss surrealist artist H.R. Giger. Initial plans call for McFarlane Toys to create a series of four figures based on Giger's, er, skewed vision in Spring of 2001.

    Giger's art "changed the look of science fiction, forever," according to Cinefantastique magazine. His work has been featured in more than 20 films, including "Alien," "Alien3," "Batman Forever" and "Species."
