What this video covers

Ed Edmunds of Distortions Unlimited recounts the backstory of the alien creatures from the 1957 cult film Invasion of the Saucer Men, originally designed by Paul Blaisdell. He traces how the studio acquired Blaisdell's original brain, ear, and face molds in the early 1980s and the long journey those masters took through figures like Tom Savini and Jordu Schell. The video frames a newly rereleased collectible standing display offered in two color variants tied to the film's orange creature and the green publicity aliens.
