UPDATE: This item has since been reduced further to US$59.99.

Looking to add a relatively cheap updated version of the 1979 Kenner ALIEN toy to your collection?  Big Bad Toy Store currently has Super7’s 2017 ALIENS Classic Toy Edition for the low price of US$74.95.  This is a discount of over 50% off the recommended retail price of US$174.99.  Considering the figure was originally released at US$199.95, it’s a fine deal you might like to take advantage of this opportunity.

It’s a great treatment on the part of Super7 of the older Kenner toy, too, as a ‘what if?’ speculation piece. No toys or action figures accompanied the cinematic release of ALIENS in 1986; but what if Kenner had manufactured product for the popular, action packed movie that year?  It may have looked just like this.  This 2017 released item is a celebration of a toy that never existed and retroactively fills that void.  It’s a nice piece, too with a 1980’s vintage flavoured package and includes a neat, double sided poster just like the original Kenner toy once did. It’s a great fresh addition to any ALIEN collection.

I like it for what it is and have written quite a bit about it here on HIDEOUS PLASTIC. I wrote a review of the Classic Toy edition, did a complete tear down of the figure and of course I also compared it to the original 40 year old Kenner ALIEN toy.  Have fun!
