Alien fanatics are likely aware of Kenner's 18'' figure that was released in 1979. Finding one mint in box is nearly impossible and you must have cash to burn, but Gentle Giant is releasing a two feet tall reproduction that is now available for pre-order:
"Gentle Giant Ltd. is proud to bring you another piece of toy history with our Alien Jumbo Kenner-inspired Figure! As seen on Toy Hunter, Gentle Giant Ltd. has taken an original 18” Kenner Alien figure and rescaled it to a staggering 24 inches!
This gargantuan new Jumbo figure possesses the same features as the original – from the chrome teeth to the clear dome head and glow-in-the-dark skull. No detail has been overlooked. This enormous figure even features mechanically-activated jaws, just like the original! Packed in an Alien-inspired vintage-style box with copies of the original poster and instruction sheets, the Alien Kenner-inspired Jumbo Figure is a must-have for toy hunters from all generations!"
Gentle Giant is doing something a bit different with their pre-order here and are offering the figure for $399 ($100 less than the regular price) if you order it this week. For more information, visit:
