The price went up since the last tip; now they're $45 apiece. I bought one anyway because it is awesome!

I think the space monsters are on sale for $28.99 -- made of ceramics and in the Exxon station right off the exit.

July 2016, the aliens are now on a shelf with all the other souvenirs. A bit pricey at $29, we opted for the WV bobblehead hillbilly. Also, fireworks for sale now across the street.

The replica space monsters are not actually in the Bear Haven gift shop, but in the attached Sunoco convenience store on top of the microwave by the nachos. Not much of an attraction here, but hey, we needed gas anyway. At $28 a pop we opted for the tank of gas.
