Recently posted on the Kenner ALIENS Toy Blog is an interesting article regarding the existence – or rather, non-existence – of one of Kenner’s rarest ALIENS toys released in the 1990s, the extremely elusive red variant of the Gorilla Alien! It looks like there is a solid reason for this item’s scarcity. It never existed. 
So, for collectors who are agonising over why you can never find a sample of the rare red Gorilla Alien at toy fairs, second hand toy dealers or eBay, you can stop hunting now. You simply won’t find one. Eric Fisher has explored the non-existence of this decidedly fake figure along with several other suspicious items you may (or may not) be able to add to your collection. Sadly, this appears to be the case. It’s not real. If you are interested in anything relating to Kenner’s ALIENS toys of the 1990s, especially obscure facts and information on the toy line, the Kenner ALIENS Toy Blog is worth a visit.

Nicely written article. Thanks for your support as always! Overall, I can’t stress how disappointing it was to learn it was indeed a fake …
Indeed, disappointing to face the truth it never existed. On the other hand the truth is preferable; and the very least, it becomes part of the legacy of the Gorilla Alien. I’m good with that. 🙂
