Normally I like to hunt for 1979 Kenner ALIEN stuff on eBay. Today, I found something else. Much more hilarious and definitely a lot weirder. Knock off Aliens made in Mexico. I love this shit – and so should you. Check ’em out. The “wrong is strong with this one”:
These lurid pieces of weird junk are great. I love them. I own several of them so I can vouch for their overtly unconventional take on the popular Alien form. Stuff made in Mexico breaks a lot of rules and these things are no exception. I have no idea who makes these things. There is no maker’s mark or any date of manufacture printed on the figures. Identities as to what kind of Aliens these ludicrous things are intended to represent is always at a loss. This weird junk from Mexico is at once outstanding and crappy all in the same breath and is simply the Best of the Worst.
Nonetheless, these 8 inch tall action figures are great additions to a collection who doesn’t mind some bootleg weirdness in their lives, right? Go buy one right now! Anyone with a disposition for stupid shit bathed in the light of dark humor can’t go passed these things.
The purple Alien on the left is a stunning piece of work with it’s smooth head, yellow teeth and …really weird legs. Purple and yellow, always go together well, right? If anything, the blue Alien on the right is even weirder with its ridged head, four arms and dragon legs. It also has a simple spring loaded action feature with a pull back firing missile tongue! KA-POW! Yup. She’s a beauty, awright. Fantastic stuff! Just so long as you know, you’re purchasing cheap unlicenced junk, then we’re good. I still love these things.
Support your international black market toy industry! Buy one of these strange pieces of eccentric clutter, today! Or… if you like, you can check out a lengthy article exploring such nefarious Bootlegs, Knock Offs and other Illegal Aliens. God, some of this stuff is complete rubbish. I should be ashamed of myself for owning and promoting this stupid shit.
…but I’m not.
