Note: This figure needs partial assembly – the carapace, hands and tail need to be affixed to the figure. All articulation associated with the trigger mechanism and jaw activation system is absent in this figure and all mouth parts are permanently fixed in place with the tongue displayed in its maximum extended position. If not glued in place, the hands and carapace will have a tendency to fall off. A very rigid yet flexible wire core permits the tail to be posed in any position and displayed at the owners discretion. This is the first ALIEN figure to feature a flexible wire core tail. This is the only figure of the Kenner derived family to feature felt padding upon the soles of the feet.
A bootleg vinyl kit version of this figure is also known to exist. An examination of this item can be found at this location.
