Vintage Kenner 1979 18 Alien Xenomorph includes dome and rear spike
Vintage Kenner 1979 18 Alien Xenomorph action figure - includes head dome and rear spike. The Kenner Alien figure was an 18 figure of the Alien from the film of the same name, released in 1979. The figure has becomei nfamous for the fact it was recalled shortly after release under pressure from parents who criticised the sale of a children's toy that was based on a violent, R-rated horror movie. Although incredibly detailed for a children's toy, the figure was also poorly constructed and quite easy to break. As aresult of these factors, the toy has gone on to become one of the most sought-afterAlien movie collectibles.
This is one of my childhood toys which my parents got me back in 1979. It is missing the extendable inner teeth, but all other parts are present, including the frequently missing head dome and rear spike.
This figure saw quite a bit of play back in the day and it shows. There are dings on the plastic and it is in need of a good cleaning. I didn't clean it as I did not want to risk damaging the figure. The arms are also quite loose, especially the right arm.
The figure can stand on it's own and with a little love and care would make a great display piece. Take a good look at the photos, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. It's not an easy figure to get good photos of due to the size, the dark color, and my limited photography skills.
