eBay – Average Condition Kenner ALIEN for Sale.

It’s an average condition 1979 Kenner ALIEN toy for sale on eBay!  Didn’t I just post one of these old toys in more or less the same condition?  Yup.  I did.  Let’s just consider that fact as testimony to how common 40 year old vintage Kenner ALIEN toys actually are.  Listed almost commonly enough to post about daily.  This one is selling for US$300.

This item is in very similar condition to the figure I posted about an hour ago, missing the same parts.  Absent are both the dome and the dorsal crest.  Minor differences are present on this item.  We can see the jaw trigger is fully operational, which is always good to have documented in photos.  Also, the slot on the back of the figure appears to be in a much better state here and it appears to be clean and unbroken.  There may be some discolouring from material stress when the crest was forced free from this mounting point but otherwise it’s in good condition and in a very similar state as the prior listed sample.

At US$300 do these minor improvements warrant a one hundred dollar price hike, though?  Not really; but figures in this condition can go for any price, even if this is the upper extreme for one in average condition like this.  The seller is offering a ‘Make Offer’ option so it will probably sell for less than the listed price.  We’ll have to follow this one.

One thing for sure.  Once this item is sold, another will take its place. There’s always a constant stream of these 40 year old toys available on eBay, frequently around a dozen of them.
