UPDATE: Sold for US$275 (1 bid).

Here’s a nice pick up for someone wanting a complete 1979 Kenner ALIEN toy – and who doesn’t want one of these beauties, right? OK. So, maybe not everyone does want one but there sure is a lot of them around; what’s more, eBay has this lovely looking sample with bidding starting at US$275. Sounds like a lot but it’s a reasonable price for one of these 40 year old toys now. This is indeed a sweet tasting morsel of blended styrene shaped into one of the world’s most notorious toys. This Kenner ALIEN action figure has everything including the dome, shoulder crest and both tongue parts. Well, the box and accompanying poster aren’t present, but it’s a good solid clean looking critter and would make a great addition to someone’s toy trophy shelf. Someone will snap this up at a decent price. That is, if bidding doesn’t become some crazy tit for tat escalation. Mind you, those sales are fun to watch.
