If you’re looking for a Kenner ALIEN toy right now and not too interested in a couple features missing but still want it to be reasonably presentable, this sample being auctioned on eBay right now might just fit the bill. Bidding started today at the fair base value of just US$1.00. Figures in this condition are relatively common and are listed frequently on eBay.
It’s an average condition toy. No box. No dome. Missing its dorsal crest. Other than that, it looks very good. Nonetheless, the starting price of US$200 will attract solid attention from bidders. This sale of an average condition figure will serve as a measuring guide of what one of these vintage toys is worth now. How much will it eventually sell for? It could certainly sell for in excess of US$250. This is well within reason as dictated by those who are prepared to spend money on an average quality, ugly, forty year old toy that no one particularly thought was a good idea back in 1979 – but therein lies the value behind these old toys.
