AdminPraetorianDec-15-2012 10:57 PMAn 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!!

The kenner 1979 figurines were very big, 17 inches. Really cool. :)

MemberOvomorphDec-17-2012 6:39 AMCool 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...."

MemberPraetorianDec-17-2012 3:44 PMThe Kenner Alien with it's see-through cranium was mega! Sadly, I still haven't got one. Probably couldn't afford it anyway! :-(

MemberOvomorphDec-18-2012 9:36 PMi 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...

MemberOvomorphMay-28-2013 10:32 AMAfter 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 ;)
