UPDATE: Sold. That didn’t take long.

Here’s a nice sample of the 1979 Kenner ALIEN toy for sale on eBay today. This charming 18 inch tall children’s toy is complete and will only set you back a paltry US$350. The vendor is willing to accept offers. Which is nice. It’s a good looking figure, too. Complete in all details. Clean and capable of holding a pose. That’s always welcome. The pose on this item is strong enough it looks like it could have come straight off the cover of the 1979 ALIEN board game. A well preserved figure including all parts and no breakages present like this one will easily sell for around the vendor’s listed price of US$350. It’s not too much to ask US$350 for an ugly 40 year old toy nobody wanted back in 1979. Really. You read that right. Under normal conditions without a world wide health crisis forcing everyone indoors and playing havoc with the global economy, this item would sell quickly at this price. It may still do so for one simple fact: There is nothing normal about this toy. No box or poster is included in this sale.
