One of my favorite features on HIDEOUS PLASTIC is the section dedicated to defective product that really shouldn’t have made it to the outside world. When such flawed items from factories enter retail outlets and then out to the wild, it’s too late for manufacturers to do anything about it. Such errors are rare and can often be comedic in nature and worth taking a 2nd look to make sure you’re actually seeing the real thing. Here’s such an item that’s come my way and it’s a beauty! This is NECA’s Kane action figure from their 40th Anniversary ALIEN series, incorrectly packaged in a box intended for another figure.This truly is a lovely example of a production error. This Kane figure in his compression suit is packaged in a box intended for the Alien itself. This item is still factory sealed and shows no tampering with either of the stickers used to seal the package. This is exactly how this figure shipped from NECA’s factory.

You can check him out and a bunch of other unique factory error ALIEN items right here. Many are head scratching “wtf?” curios while others are outright embarrassing to their manufacturer.
