Alien Autopsy Tissue Holder

I spotted this wacky find on Inventor's Spot.   This alien is not just a plushy decoration, it serves a useful purpose in that his autopsied belly can hold a box of Kleenex.   It is a bit kitschy with his silvery pudgy body, but very cute and clever none the less.

You can even hang him on a wall as he has velcro on his hands.

He is for sale at by a Japanese company Village/Vangard for 1,890 yen (which would be $23.73 based on today's market), but I might have to try a DIY version to make for my son for Christmas as he is a huge X-Files fan.
