      A scecial shot out to Noelani72!

      Oh my god! You are my hero! Listen, can I get that scan of your Kenner Alien Box? I was planning on purchasing a box some day to do just what you have done. I am in the process of purchasing 1979 Kenner Aliens in hopes that someone will someday produce quality Kenner Alien boxes (with insert) to the exact specifications of the original. I have seen some custom examples, but for me they were not good enough. I may purchase an original box in the future just so I can produce them (marked repro box) but I am very, very picky and if it does not look like an original I would consider it a failure. I love the box art so much that I would love to take your box and print it out + frame it - James

        Wow.
        It only took me over two years to:

        Find a printer.
        Not spend an outrageous amount of $$ TO get it printed.
        Get it printed as all one piece.
        Find the right mounting board.

        lol.

        It's not perfect, a few mistakes in the artwork and quick cutting...but I think it is fair to say my experiment worked. The folds are c-l-e-a-n!

        Yeah - I can do large scale repros

          Great work! Back in 1980 TRU had the Alien dolls piled high. They couldn't get rid of them. They were selling them for $12. I didn't get one but I did get the 12" Indiana Jones which they also couldn't unload.
          If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

            I got one back in about 1980, Zellers, I think... it was a clearance item too, if I recall.

            Kept the box, and the dome. Lost the poster, though.

            The figure can be fragile. The back spines have a habit of becoming somewhat loose.

              Hey,
              Got mine mint in a very good box about 6 years ago for $225. As a birthday present a couple of years ago, my wife got me the large acrylic case to keep him in. Cool item.
              Got a loose one a year later, just to be able to display next to the box.

                  Was there ever a repro of this? In the back of my mind I'm thinking from Japan, but might be confusing if with any number of Alien figures they have done.

                      I actually saw the reissue along with the clear green version at FYE. I believe they ran $200.

                        Yep, and since 2011 Mr. Noir became fully acquainted with the Tsukuda Aliens during one of our toy shopping trips in Japan.

                        Do you mean the recent Aliens version reissues/reimaginings that Super 7 made? I'm really close to pulling the trigger on one of those.
