Xenomorph Inspired Pipe By S. Yanik On Its Way!

[shanez]

I just couldn't resist! Fans of the movie "Aliens" should see the connection right away yet it still has an artistic freehand look as well.

These shape/style pipes from Mr. Yanik are fairly large pieces of meer which is something I really like. This one, at 3.5" tall, will have a nice deep chamber.

I like it! It is reminiscent of the Geiger aliens, but not overtly. Cool shape. ?

Must be a bug in the air, I commissioned one of these.

I'm just hoping there will be no customs issues like before. One order from Europe got canceled due to quarantine restrictions and my Yanik was held up by customs for weeks.

Same here.

Ordered Monday and arrived today. This is the second time this has happened. The return address on the package is in Boston. He must have some of his pipes already in the US.

That’s pretty smart.

Great looking pipe shanez

That's a great looking pipe.

My wife and I have been watching the Aliens movies lately, starting with the earliest chronologically (Prometheus) and working our way up. Next in line is Alien Resurrection. I don't think I have ever watched that one.

I couldn't believe the first Alien movie was in 1979. It has aged incredibly well and is still great to watch. It's funny watching the crew members smoke cigarettes in the spaceship though.

One of the scientists is smoking tobacco in his suit in Prometheus.?

Alien was the best of them in my opinion, but I kind of like the direction of some of the newer ones, like Prometheus, because we were left hanging for so long, wondering what the backstory was with the dead “space jockey.”

It's fun to watch them all in a row and I agree that Alien was the best one. I'm still not sure whether to include the Alien vs Predator movies.

Different for sure, but nicely executed. Enjoy!
