UPDATE: I have had to disable pre-orders for now. My apologies for any inconvenience.

I am proud to announce pre-orders for the 300 page book dedicated to the now forty years old 18 inch tall 1979 Kenner ALIEN children’s toy, HIDEOUS PLASTIC – In stores everyone can hear you scream. are now available. Due to be released in mid/late March, this book will be priced at US$45. Pre-ordering prior to release will grant the discount price of US$38, a saving of around 17%. Pre-orders at this lower price will remain available until the book is released. Here’s a description, “This unique book is dedicated to the exploration and greater understanding of the nefarious Kenner ALIEN action figure, released in 1979. Delve into the extraordinary history of the first commercially made toy based on an R-rated movie and discover how this unusual play thing became available for children as young as five years old. Designed to be many things, this book includes a complete historical documentation of the toy spanning four decades, a spotter’s guide for anyone wanting to purchase one of these expensive collectibles today and a repair manual for anyone interested in remedying common problems the infamous Kenner ALIEN action figure frequently displays. Any ALIEN fan, toy collector or pop culture enthusiast will welcome this book as an essential resource in their library..”
