This nice pair of vintage ALIEN items is available on eBay right now. If you’re looking for a bargain, then up for grabs in a single listing is a 1979 Kenner ALIEN toy and a 1999 AMT ERTL ALIEN kit. Bidding starts at US$200 or you can buy both now for US$275. The older Kenner toy is lacking the commonly missing parts, head dome, dorsal crest and the lower part of the tongue. Nothing new there. He’s a little dusty but his jaw activation still works. Arms are loose but still attached. The arms float a little outside the shoulder sockets; but just having the arms attached either by original rubber anchors or via third party repair method doesn’t detract from them being present and seated in place and not missing altogether. A generally nice figure that could benefit from a good clean with soapy water and a toothbrush. The 1999 AMT ERTL ALIEN kit also included in this offerieng is new and still wrapped in original shrink wrap. It is a re-release of the original 1979 MPC ALIEN kit and is a relatively common and easy to find item. Nonetheless, an unopened sample is a worthy addition to any ALIEN collection. Well, both of these figures would be welcome. A great pair of items and priced to sell quick.
