eBay – Kenner Tongue Part for Sale.

Posted on 24/05/2023 by windebieste

There’s a lower tongue part for sale on eBay right now. The seller wants US$50 for it. The seller will accept a Best Offer. These loose items are becoming difficult to find so despite the asking price, this is great if your vintage toy is only missing this single piece.If you need an original piece to complete your Kenner ALIEN toy, this is an ideal opportunity. Otherwise, US$50 is probably a lot to pay for a small piece of plastic.

Some more parts have become available from the same seller. There’s a functioning ALIEN head (for US$75) and a complete set of dorsal appendages (US$55).

UPDATED – ImPerfect Organisms: ReAction Alien.

Posted on 22/05/2023 by windebieste

I have added this curious item to the ever growing list of ALIEN products released featuring flaws, defects and other anomalous discrepancies. This item is Super7’s ALIEN ReAction figure released as part of the movie’s 40th Anniversary on ALIEN Day, 2019. The item on the left is the complete figure most collectors are familiar while the naked item on the right lacks the black characteristic paintwork which adorns the body. For this reason it has earned its place as a welcome entry among other ImPerfect Organisms here on HIDEOUS PLASTIC.There appears to be an abundance of Super7 ALIEN ReAction figures released featuring a variety of production errors. I’ve been able to document some of them; and more coming. I am thinking I will soon need to split the page dedicated to ImPerfect Organisms into two parts: One page dedicated solely to anomalous Super7 ReJection figures; and another page dedicated to everything else. I can see that happening in the near future.

NECA – Ultimate Queen Alien.

Posted on 14/05/2023 by windebieste

NECA have announced their latest addition to their long running ALIENS line, the Queen Xenomorph Ultimate action figure. While NECA have already released HRH in a variety of colors appropriate to movies and comics she has appeared in, these have largely been the same sculpt. As this item is part of their “Ultimate” line of figures, this iteration will possibly possess fresh sculpting and improved articulation as such improvements have been regular features in their Ultimate line up.NECA has this to say on their recent Facebook announcement regarding this large size figure, “NECA’s most massive and most ambitious Aliens figure ever is the terrifying Xenomorph Queen from the 1986 Aliens film. She stands over 15″ tall and is over 30″ long, with over 30 points of articulation, including a spectacular poseable tail. Bring some of the movie’s most thrilling scenes to life in realistic detail, because the Queen is completely in scale with NECA’s 7″ Alien action figure line. Includes a display stand and two different interchangeable inner mouths.“ Shipping is estimated to be in September of this year. No price has been set.

UPDATED – ImPerfect Organisms: ReAction Alien.

Posted on 08/05/2023 by windebieste

ReJection Figures… I’ve been seeing a lot of these lately and right now it would appear to be ‘Defective ALIEN Action Figures and Toys’ Season. Here’s another one. This item is the Alien Warrior from Super7’s “Xenomorph Collection” wave of ReAction figures, completely disassembled in unopened packet. This is such a wonderful item and a great example of contents gone wrong, exploded into its basic parts. It’s been added to ImPerfect Organisms, the section of this site dedicated to such faulty product items and factory error samples. If you wish to own this item, it is currently for sale on eBay by the owner who was kind enough to provide permission for the use of these photos here on HIDEOUS PLASTIC. Thank you.

Etsy – Bronze Alien Stooped Statue.

Posted on 07/05/2023 by windebieste

If you’re looking for a near unique, high quality unlicenced ALIEN item then HDCrafts777 has something you will love. This 10 inch tall lost wax cast Alien features the original 1979 Giger’s Dessert Alien in its classic stooped pose and is available on Etsy right now. It’s cast in bronze, hand polished and carries a nice fat price tag of US$942. This does look like a stunning piece but the price tag isn’t the only limitation you may encounter if you want this item. Only one sample remains in the seller’s inventory. Which means if you want to have an excuse to spend next month’s rent on something else and impress everyone, this is well detailed and accurate metal statuette will no doubt be a great choice! Sure, you might end up being homeless but hey. At least you’ll own a really cool collectible.
