Here’s something interesting.  It is a customised Kenner ALIEN toy for sale on eBay. This one has had an interesting treatment. He’s had a few select parts highlighted. His head, teeth and toes have all been painted white while his torso has had red applied to it. It’s an eye catching look and there probably isn’t another figure like it. The vendor wants US$149.44 for this unusual take on the old toy. Custom ALIEN toys appear frequently on eBay. People often apply paint to them and make other modifications like this. Toes and faces are most frequently altered but this one has had paint applied to his chest, as well, lending a very striking appearance.  The glow in the dark paint on the head is covered, so it probably won’t work any more.  It’s teeth have been given a similar treatment, so they have lost their sheen. He’s also missing a few parts, too. Both tongue halves are absent as is the dome on the head and the crest on his back is also gone. Of interest, though, the slot into which that crest belongs is relatively intact.  Sure, it’s showing some signs of stress discoloration but it’s still all there. You could easily fit a replacement crest into place and it would probably sit correctly, without falling out.  It’s an interesting figure and notwithstanding the personal flourishes afforded to it, for $150, it will probably find a new home before too long if someone makes an offer.
