      I was starting to get into collecting in the late 80's and I saw this baby and thought:

      Hey, it's from an R rated movie and last time a toy came out from an R rated movie, like Alien, it did not last too long.

      It was a really cool and large figure.

      It was on close out. I think I got it for something like $10

      It's probabaly worth something still, but not as much since I removed and replaced the figure. But I know it's still complete and with all packaging. It's safely in a closet now, behind a bunch of other stuff. I'll have to dig for it when I have the time.

        I think this toy still holds popularity because it was unique with its time much like the Alien doll was for the Alien movie. I think this toy will never lose value.

          I remember those being really popular in the shop I worked out of in the 80s. The main reason being that despite the film being R rated, home video made that a mere suggestion.

          Once Predator rolled around, those Arnold dolls disappeared.

            In the case of the nineties Aliens toys, there was an animated series in development, which was the reason behind the non movie likenesses of Ripley and the marines. Otherwise the tie in would have been Alien 3.
