this link seems to work now. [img]smile.gif[/img]

as far as the story, I found this...
http://www.toyarchive.com/Aliens/Toys/OriginalDoll.html

The first Alien toy to be produced was by Kenner in 1979. They conceived this amazing piece and sent it off to stores. 12" inches of pure horror. Such horror that kids were scared of it, and parents demanded it off the shelves. Kenner cut the production short, and cancelled their 3 3/4" Alien toy line.

This piece stands 12" inches and is poseable in the arms, wrists, legs and tail. It comes with such features as a removable dome, glow in the dark paint on his head. The greatest feature was he mouth openning and two silver inner jaws jabbing forth.

Hahaha, well, there is tons of stuff out there that I want/need, so that isn't too much of a surprise. You really have been gathering up some cool vintage toys these days, and that is damn cool to see.

[LittleDevil]

[Peter Peeker]

so now you can send me those big Shoguns, right?

[shiner]

Welcome to the club. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] That's less than I paid for mine (though I got a beat-to-hell original box with it - worth it for the graphics). That seller may have done better if he didn't advertise that he has 33 of them!
