UPDATE: This item sold for US$149. Well, that didn’t take long, about 24 hours.

Currently listed on eBay right now is a loose dome for your Kenner ALIEN toy.  It’s a decent looking part and the vendor is asking US$169 for the prize piece.

These features sit loosely upon the head of the Kenner toy and up to 90% of these 40 year old ALIEN figures now lack this feature. It appears to be a complete piece with all 4 nubs in place on the sides, no serious damage to speak off and looks to be free of warps and deformations.  There appears to be some blemishes and other minor marks on the surface that the piece has acquired over time but these anomalies may easily be removed with some plastic polish, gentle buffing and careful attention to bring it back to a fully, shiny glory.

Any domes that do become available on eBay frequently command a high price.  Usually they sell for around the US$100 mark.  Sometimes a little more.  This item is priced a little high but the vendor has included a ‘Best Offer’ option as part of the listing.  US$160 is definitely in the upper limits of what they usually sell for so it will no doubt go for less than that.

It’s a good looking piece and it will sell.  Demand for these loose head carapaces is high and these domes are sought after by many owners whose Kenner toy is missing this iconic feature.  Frequently, these loose items will sell within 24 hours of being listed.
