Review - Alien Facehugger miniature creature for Aliens board game from Gale Force Nine

The Facehugger comes in two pieces - the end of the tail and the rest of the body is separate. However, the Facehugger looks good even without the rest of the tail, so you can use it without needing to cut the tail from the base.
