UPDATE: Sold for US$340.00 (5 bidders).

Here’s a nice sample of the 1979 Kenner ALIEN toy for sale on eBay right now. He’s a beauty, too. Clean. Complete. Very nice indeed. Auction starts at US$250. CHEAP! Get your bids in now!Taking a look at this figure it appears good with all of his parts present. The dome is clean, tongue and teeth are very complete without chipping of the chrome. The tail is full length and he stands confidently – even on a soft surface like the bed he’s posed on – so we can determine his hip joints are firm. This is a great sample of the toy which can so often be found in substantially worse condition than this. Upon release in 1979, RRP for these toys was US$12.99. They were then later discounted to under US$5 in 1980 due to their unpopularity. Now, unless you’re lucky, you can’t find one in good condition like this for under US$300. This sample is going to be a treat for someone. Just don’t expect it to stay at this lowly starting bidding price of US$250 for very long. This one is going to be fun to watch! It’s just a matter of how high the closing bid on this prize actually climbs to. Wow…
