An old member here's father designed those toys, the Kenner 1979 ones, or so he claimed anyways. So cool. :) I love how Bishop looks like Max Headroom (in the 3rd vid) LOL!! [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/15dvspw.png[/IMG] The kenner 1979 figurines were very big, 17 inches. Really cool. :)

Bishop is Bae <3

It looks amazing @TANKGIRL. I am impressed at the details on the figurine. The top of the head is transparent and gives it a more realistic feeling. Now put it up against the large and classic Boba Fett doll in a fight.

Cool toys Tank. I don't even remember seeing them as a boy. I imagine that the Alien would have been expensive. Fun for the whole family.... "Buy the chest-burster now - host not included...." :)

The Kenner Alien with it's see-through cranium was mega! Sadly, I still haven't got one. Probably couldn't afford it anyway! :-(

I cannot remember seeing the commercials as a kid, but the announcer's voice sounds so familiar!

i have a vinyl model which is very similar to the kenner action figure. its pretty cool but i lost the rubber part that covered the top of the head at some point... i keep hoping it will turn up but somehow i think its gone forever...

After the parent groups got the first Alien figure banned,you could find them in bargain bins for $10.00. I think they retailed for $30.00. I never owned one....mom wouldn't allow it :( I've seen complete 79 Alien figures on Ebay going for $400-$500. This link shows one WITH its factory box currently on Ebay....check out the reasonable pricing ;) [url=http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Kenner-1979-18-Alien-posable-Action-figure-with-box-cardboard-insert-paperwork-/230826722391?pt=Vintage_Antique_Toys_US&hash=item35be584457]Alien figure Ebay listing...with box[/url]
