ALIEN 1979 KENNER VINTAGE

1979 ALIEN 18" Action Figure

by KENNER TOY COMPANY

Designed by H.R. GIGER

Trivia : Besides the fact that the ALIEN was pulled off the shelves in toy stores because parents complained that the toy was too scary and made their kids cry,
Kenner Toy Company had gone as far as to actually destroy the ALIEN molds so no more ALIENs could be made.
I heard this information about "Kenner destroying the molds" back in 1991.

A loose ALIEN complete (no box) depending on it's condition, can go for $75.- to $195.-
Should have the clear dome, inner (2 parts) jaws, and the back "fifth" spike.
The box alone, complete, can go for
$150.- up to $250.-
Condition of course make a difference, should have the red insert, thin clear plastic window and if possible, the straps to tie the KENNER ALIEN down.

The double sided b/w POSTER that comes with the KENNER ALIEN alone can average
a price of $15.- to $25.-

A MINT 1979 KENNER ALIEN in a mint sealed box
with poster,
( never played with or taken out of the box),
no creases, no tears or wear on the box can go for
$600.- to $ 1,800.- (super rare condition) depending on the demand for it and the time of year.

An ALIEN missing clear dome, back spike, inner jaws tends to sell for $40.- to $60.- (mostly in the $45.- range)

Gossiping outside the classroom...

@Wyzilla In this case, they didn't for very long.

I was lucky to get mine when I was 6,

after I saw the movie with my dad.

They pulled them from the shelves very quickly.

I can understand, this is the stuff of nightmares...

But I was never scared of a movie ever again.

And I still have the toy...

in Used condition.

Take off the plastic dome, and it becomes an ALIENS action figure

[Wyzilla]

Question, why do they make toys for kids based of R-rated franchises?

[nothingbetterr2do]

@tuuexx bring to her to court for a new 1 or the real worth if she stole it

[punji73]

i had one of them over 30 years ago, you could take the clear plastic dome off its head to see all the details in its head, also parts of the head glowed in the dark

[edisonoside]

These are TOO cool to be plastic!!
