UPDATE: Sold for US$122 (8 bidders.)

Here’s an ideal sample of the Kenner ALIEN toy if you’re looking for something to renovate. This figure is missing a few parts but he’s an ideal candidate for some work that can restore this forlorn grub monkey into a decent piece, worthy of display. He’s listed for auction on eBay right now with bids starting at US$49.99.He’s missing the usual pieces, the head covering, dorsal crest and tongue pieces but the rest of him is there – it just needs a little attention. It won’t take much to take this severed limb figure and make him a hit piece in anyone’s collection. A good clean and re-attach that right arm is a good and simple way to get him look fantastic again. Even the glue residue on his back where the crest is supposed to sit may be aged and perished enough to fall away with some careful chipping with a screwdriver or similar tool. A figure in this sad state may easily become a centerpiece on your trophy shelf and is well worth any bid you may make on this fellow. He’s a beauty and would typically sell for around US$120-US$150 mark, even in this dilapidated, broken and rundown state. There’s a biomechanical gem in the rough here that just needs a little polishing. He’ll still be missing a few parts but those can be tended to at a later date.
