UPDATE: Sold for US$127.52 (7 bids).

These items crop up on eBay about once each month or so as they are relatively uncommon parts. It’s a smoky transparent head dome, suitable for completing a Kenner ALIEN toy. The vendor is auctioning it and bidding starts at US$70.  These things never really did fit adequately upon the head of the 40 year old toy even when it was released.  As a result, they are frequently absent from these toys today. About 80% of Kenner ALIEN toys are missing this piece; but is it rare? “Uncommon” would be a better description. This one looks to be in generally OK condition.  It is showing evidence of scratches and other blemishes but it is complete with all 5 nubs needed to (inadequately) secure the dome in place.  It’s a decent addition to help complete someone’s four decades old blended styrene space monster. Starting at US$70 it may appear the vendor is expecting a lot for this concave piece of ancient plastic but as this body part can easily sell for upwards of US$100, I will be watching this item with great interest. Let’s see how high it climbs.
