Currently for auction on eBay is this pair of 1979 Kenner ALIEN tongue halves. These matching pieces are often missing from the old vintage toy and lately it would appear their value has increased dramatically. The Good News is, it’s a complete pair being made for offer here. The Bad News is the seller expects to sell them for a high price. Bidding starts at US$125. How many people really want a pair of these things at this price? it will be an interesting auction to watch.Needless to say, it’s clearly a high starting point to commence bidding. For this kind of money you would want them to be in immaculate condition, at the very least. It’s hard to determine if that is the case on these images due to the fact the vac metal surface on the front may be displaying damage or they are simply reflections of a nearby dark surface. As someone recently commented on Facebook regarding one of these sales they would expect these pieces to be made of silver. That’s not an unreasonable expectation considering the asking price, but no. They are not.  They’re just vac coated styrene. Completely worthless materials – except for the demand that surrounds them due to their age and them being in this shape, that is. Crazy stuff either way.
