Over at the Kenner ALIENS Toy Blog, you can now find a lengthy and detailed investigation into the released (and unreleased) color variants of Kenner’s Arachnid Alien toy, released in 1994. Eric Fischer has had a 25 year long interest in this “wacky Arachnid Alien” toy, ever since it was first released. The article is well worth the read and if you are interested in this toy line, you’ll find it informative and rewarding.

As an additional component to further explore this curious multilegged oddity, we have a page dedicated to exploring some of the early product development prototype samples that lead to this toy’s release.

It’s been two and a half decades since this toy was released but have we seen the end of the Arachnid Alien? It’s hard to say. With both NECA and Eaglemoss releasing tribute items dedicated to other Kenner Alien toys of the 1990s, an updated version of this strange may yet see release. I gotta say, a fully articulated NECA Arachnid Alien is highly appealing.
