1997 Tsukuda Hobby Silver ALIEN Completed Model.

Manufacturer: Tsukuda Hobby
Type: Derived from the original 1979 Kenner ALIEN action figure.
Released: 1997.  (The 1991 date stamp appearing on the right foot is uncorrected from the earlier Halcyon pressing of this figure.)
Product No.: SVM-29S-8500
Height: 17 inches.

Glow in the Dark Feature:  None.
Packaging: Box with window in front panel.
Inclusions: Red card insert packaging.

Points of Articulation and Movement: 7. 1x forward and reverse sliding tongue. 1x head rotation at the neck.  2x rotation at  arm and shoulder spindle joints.  2x rotation at hip and leg spindle joints. 1x rotation at tail base on torso spindle joint.

Note:  Both hands are fixed at the wrists without any rotation.  The carapace is firmly affixed to the figure’s head.  The trigger mechanism and jaw activation system is absent in this figure.  The mouth is rigidly fixed in the open position but the tongue can slide to and fro freely within the mouth.   A flexible wire core permits the tail to be posed in any position and displayed at the owners discretion.  The entire vinyl figure is coated evenly with silver paint.  As the figure was not properly prepared or primed prior to painting, the silver paint will flake and peel off, especially when bending the tail which is unavoidable when removing it from the box.  This is the last Kenner derived figure to have a flexible wire core tail.
