Here’s one of those very, very special pieces that will complete your vintage ALIEN toy, it’s a “dome” or “carapace” that will sit loosely upon the head and fall off if knocked. For a sum of US$300 on eBay this loose piece of vintage concave plastic can be yours! Of course, the seller is inviting offers on this item so it should sell well below that. Maybe it will sell for only US$100. CHEAP!It’s been a while since I’ve seen one of these valuable pieces hit eBay. This one looks good and tidy. Nonetheless, high demand for these items will ensure this one won’t sit for long on the service. It’s not unusual for these items to sell for around US$100. What is unusual is how many of these loose pieces are still around after more than forty years since the toy was released. I’m thinking that’s possibly due to the more than 100,000 samples of the toy being made in the US and these parts are poorly implemented in terms of being attached to the figure means they simple fall off. What’s more, the number of these toys made by Kenner may possibly exceed 150,000 when factoring units made in Canada. Which by the way, were made in smaller numbers than in the US with the domes made from different material, fall off just as easily and are simply more rare.
