Heritage Auctions to Offer Iconic Alien and Predator Props in July Sale
If you’ve ever imagined holding a piece of the Xenomorph’s sleek exoskeleton or the Yautja’s battle‑scarred armor, Heritage Auctions is turning that fantasy into a tangible reality. In its July Hollywood & Entertainment Signature Auction, the company will showcase a curated collection of props from the Alien and Predator franchises, including a complete Xenomorph costume, Predator head appliances, and key items from Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Predator 2 (1990).
The seed of a crossover between the two iconic species was first planted in Predator 2, when Lieutenant Mike Harrigan discovers a spaceship filled with trophies, among them a Xenomorph skull. That image sparked speculation that the two species could meet on screen, a premise that was fully realized in the 2004 crossover Alien vs. Predator.
Heritage Auctions notes that the Xenomorph costume on display was assembled from a headpiece created for Alien vs. Predator: Requiem and a body suit used in the 2004 film. It features internal clear tubing for acid‑excretion effects and control wires under the arms. The starting bid is $6,000. Other Alien items include a hatched Alien egg from the 2004 film (starting bid $1,000), cockpit seats from Alien: Resurrection (starting bid $1,500), and an M4A1 Pulse Rifle from Aliens (starting bid $15,000).
Predator‑related pieces on offer include a claymore mine from Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (starting bid $500) and a Combistick that belonged to the “Scar” Predator in Alien vs. Predator (starting bid $2,500). A head appliance and armor ensemble for Kevin Peter Hall’s “City Hunter Predator” from Predator 2 is also available, with a starting bid of $5,000. The full “Scar” Predator costume, comprising 22 pieces such as a bio helmet, foam latex skin bodysuit, and wrist gauntlet, starts at $10,000.
The auction also features a selection of other high‑profile props, including the flintlock pistols used by Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean films, the severed hand of Luke Skywalker from The Empire Strikes Back, Christopher Reeve’s “Evil Superman” suit from Superman III, and the hoverboard from Back to the Future Part II. These items are part of a broader collection that Heritage Auctions has listed for July.
Collectors who wish to bid can view the full catalogue on the Heritage Auctions website. The sale will run through the end of July, with live auctioneering and streaming options available. The auction’s focus on iconic sci‑fiction props reflects the enduring popularity of the Alien and Predator franchises, which have expanded beyond film into comics, games, and television.
In summary, Heritage Auctions’ July sale offers a rare opportunity to acquire original costume pieces and props from two of science‑fiction’s most recognizable monsters. The auction is scheduled to conclude at the end of July, and interested parties are encouraged to register early to participate in the bidding process.
