UPDATE: Sold for US$150. Apparently.

Here’s a nice piece of translucent curved plastic that might be of interest to some people. It’s a genuine loose head covering for a 1979 Kenner ALIEN toy for sale on eBay. It’s being sold for US$150. It’s been a couple months since one of these appeared on eBay. They’re uncommon at best but not to the point of justifiably being called rare. The description on this item is a little scant, “…Great Condition Authentic. Condition is Used. Minor scratches.” but that’s essentially all you need to know what you’re buying. It’s in very good condition and just lacking in a little quality detailing to make it perfect. Pricey at US$150? Sure it is. Then again, these smoky hued things will frequently exceed the US$100 mark when being bid for on eBay at auction. While this “Buy Now” figure sits at the upper price limit the seller is taking offers. Regardless, it’s a safe bet this single, much sought after body part will still sell for no less than US$100. Not bad for loose piece of plastic from a forty year old toy nobody asked for in 1979.
