Just a quick update for those of you who have pre-ordered copies of the upcoming book dedicated to the notorious 1979 Kenner ALIEN toy, HIDEOUS PLASTIC – In stores everyone can hear you scream. Firstly, It’s all coming together very well now. A little slower than anticipated as dictated by my recent house move, subsequent renovations and emerging pandemic crisis. Nonetheless, progress on this project has not halted.

Importantly, I am currently awaiting to hear from the publisher to provide me with the final proof of the book. This should arrive soon and will need to be thoroughly examined. I have had the joy of adding several new images to the book since the previous proof copy was generated and the presentation is already very solid. I am looking forward to seeing the updated version in hand. People who have already seen the book have been suitably impressed with it, including individuals involved in the peer review process. So far, it’s garnered only positive responses.

So right now, we are planning to publish soon. Hopefully before the end of this month.

If you are remotely interested in the 1979 Kenner ALIEN toy, then this book covers just about everything. HIDEOUS PLASTIC – In stores everyone can hear you scream delves deeply into the action figure’s 40 year history, contains a complete description of the toy, what to look for when considering purchasing one (this section alone could save you hundreds of dollars, easily paying for purchasing the book many times over!) along with a complete documentation of it’s derivative and tribute figures. It’s all here, in 300 full color pages complete with full indexing and detailed product bibliography.

This book is unique. Something like this has never been attempted let alone previously be published. If you want to add a copy of this limited edition book (Only five hundred copies are being printed) to your library you will be able to do so soon. Thank you for your patience.
