I’ve been in possession of this old Kenner ALIEN action figure for a while now.  I spent about 6 weeks working on rehabilitating this old toy.  Recently I finished all that is required and he’s now ready to be displayed publicly.

This is no normal Kenner ALIEN, though.  He was a wreck when I first acquired him.  He’d already been customised by a previous owner and had since fallen into a state of substantial disrepair.  I took it upon myself to make him ‘whole’ once again.  A complete restoration was out of the question – the previous custom work could not be undone.  The solution?  Embrace those extant changes and transform him into something new.  This old Kenner toy has become the oddity now known as ‘Mr. Tendril’.

The entire process from start to finish is documented in this lengthy piece.  Almost a dozen pages of it, actually.  You can start reading right here and marvel at the weird and wonderful rise to display worthy status of the Amazing Mr. Tendril!
