Trading Card # 30: Kenner Alien

[RSS]

This card comes with a little bit of a story, I got lobbied to do it by someone over at the Megomuseum forums (thanks James). He even went out of way by mocking up what he thought the card should look like. This is important because and this might come as a shock but I'm not really a fan of Alien.


I've worked years at Convention dealer rooms with people who absolutely adore the thing, my wife owns all the films but the appeal of it all escapes me, I'm weird I guess. That said, James was totally right, this is an iconic toy of our childhood and absolutely deserved to get it's own trading card.

The Alien is a cool toy, but the idea of an Alien toy at that time is probably just as cool. Is that soy sauce, ink, or is the it spitting some kind of acid stuff from its mouth?
