Finally, I’ve had the time to add this lengthy exploration of MPC’s ALIEN model kit to HIDEOUS PLASTIC. This one has been important in several ways, but here it is now. All six editions of MPC’s ALIEN model kit released from 1979 to 2013. Lots of information if you want a helpful guide to find out if that MPC kit item you have looking at on eBay is really the one you are after. Also of great significance, the addition of this item marks the end of all the vintage items associated with the release of the 1979 Kenner ALIEN action figure I wanted to include here. It’s taken me a long time – four and a half years – and this stage, Phase One, is now complete. Phase Two of HIDEOUS PLASTIC, which has already been well underway for a long time now, is about to move forward. That’s going to be a lot of fun, too. It will also take many years to complete but with this MPC item out of the way, it’s time to forge ahead and leave 1979 behind. What does Phase Two comprise? You’ll have to wait until April 26 to find out.
