I have more details regarding the dubious three headed curiosity that was announced on April 1st by Basura Collectibles. It would appear this item is more than just an April Fool’s Day gag and I am guessing there is a likelihood it will actually become available at some point in the future. This new image provided by Basura outlines the key features (Hah!) of this questionable figure. I don’t read Spanish, so make of this image what you can.
Nonetheless, as someone who is keen on weird and wonderful bootleg action figures and toys, I intend for this lurid item to become a welcome addition to my ever growing collection of low caliber junk of questionable quality.
I have documented many such unauthorised and unlicenced items similar to this anomaly during the past few years here on HIDEOUS PLASTIC. Interested? Sure you are! Here, for your investigation and discrete observation are four pages of crazed nonsense, dedicated to featuring a variety of Bootlegs, Knock Offs and Other ‘Illegal Aliens’.
Enjoy!

I for one, get very excited about the potential for what the day offers and often come away with mixed feelings once it’s over. Some expectations are met while others are not. I am always enthusiastic about new licenced and unlicenced goodies that may be announced, or released but ALIEN Day often ends bereft of any official word from 20thCS regarding any new movie. I personally believe it to be an ideal opportunity for the company to release some form of update or News item or some details or other information regarding the state of play of any future movie. To date, they’ve taken little opportunity to do so and this year may not be any different.

I have to say, I have no idea what a “Nendoroid” is. I assume it’s a product line native to the Good Smile Company. All the same, that head is tremendously detailed feature, coyly offset by the much less proportionate and stumpy torso and limbs. Neat. Here’s what the supplier has to say about this little… er… face ripping cutie pie. “From the sci-fi horror movie “Alien” comes a Nendoroid of the Alien! While the Alien has been brought down to cute Nendoroid size, its terrifying looks have been perfectly preserved with incredibly detailed modeling.The figure is fully articulated, allowing you to display it in a variety of different poses. Optional parts include a Facehugger, a Chestburster and an alien egg effect sheet! Enjoy mixing and matching optional parts to create all kinds of situations in Nendoroid form!” Sounds good to me despite the fact I still have no idea of what a “Nendoroid” is. I’ll take their word it’s important. Somehow. Release date is November, 2022. Price is around US$95. Looks like a great fun item.
It’s a little dog eared and slightly creased but this poster is still in very good condition considering its age. Nonetheless, such a low starting price is important. Bidders will escalate the selling price well above it’s current value. This is inevitable. During the past month or so, there’s been around four of these listed on eBay. Each one has been listed for around US$200 and then sold for around that much. How much will this item sell is anyone’s guess; but right now, it’s a safe bet it will easily top the triple figure mark. Importantly, this item will demonstrate the true value of these forty year old posters as bidders determine what it’s worth – not the seller under these auction conditions. This will be a fun item to watch.
This is the real deal, alright. Mind you, these do crop up from time to time and there’s been a few of them appearing on eBay lately. One appeared recently and was sold while I was in the process of was writing up a News item about it. That was pretty funny, actually. 
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.

Here’s what remains to be sold at the time of publishing this post. Prices are in USD and seller will ship international:
Shirts are available in 15 colours, fit male or female, feature a variety of styles and cover a full range of sizes. I’ve previously seen similar items to this and much like those other merchandise, it appears to be 100% unlicenced. Nothing wrong with that just so long as you don’t mind buying unofficial stuff.
Widely regarded as the most screen accurate version of the Xenomorph warrior appearing in Kenner’s 1990s range of ALIENS toys, the Scorpion Alien was also one of the most popular. Here’s a snippet from the blog article, all good reading: “It’s a fine example of balance between form & function, aesthetic & practicality. One of the best & most popular figures from the line, this figure perfectly captures the look of the creatures as seen in Aliens.” It’s a fun read and a fascinating insight into how Kenner would repurpose an already extant action feature design, hone it to perfection and produce one of the true classic ALIENS toys ever made.
Here is some more information from the publisher, “This exclusive 1:2 scale model is complete with features including lights, remote-controlled sensors to turn the head towards sound AND intricate detailing.Subscribe today to receive a FREE issue, plus your Alien collection mug, binder, movie artwork tin poster and amazing 1:10 scale figurine throughout the collection!” It all sounds wonderful and if you live in the UK and want to subscribe to this ambitious project to construct your own Alien and use it to greet and snarl at people when you open the front door, then this four foot tall space monster featuring electronic components inside its head is perfect.
I love the lurid purple and green color scheme of these items. They replicate and honor the original Kenner releases perfectly. Here’s what NECA have to say about these new big cat themed figures, “
He’s all there, too. Dome, shoulder crest and all mouth parts are present. A great and worthy addition to someone’s collection. No box or poster is included in the listing, though; and such inclusions usually set the starting bid at this price, around US$400. Nonetheless, this looks like a solid sample of the toy. Minor scuffs on the glow in the dark paintwork, some dusty surfaces here and there along with minor handling wear are all that detract from it’s otherwise excellent presentation. Prices have certainly been escalating on these old toys but it’s not unheard of for these vintage collectibles to sell for an excess of US$450 in similar condition, without a box. So if you can afford it, grab it! These things certainly aren’t reducing in value.
New additions to the growing list of rare Kenner production relics from last century includes:
It’s important to note this sale is accompanied by a “Good News and some Bad News” caveat. Firstly, the “good news”. The tail is in excellent condition with very little to no issues. Importantly, the blunt spiked tip of these pieces can be broken.This one is fully intact and that’s great. What’s just as important is the presence of the serrated metal washer attached to the other end of the tail. As this item is needed to fit the tail onto a figure, it’s inclusion here is very welcome – and uncommon – so it’s more than a bonus. Loose tails like this one for sale usually lack this metal ring. Having it included in the sale means the tail is easily attached to the figure without the need for any improvisation. I say that’s definitely “good news”.
