Kenner Alien's Asian cousins - the Tsukuda Aliens

[samurainoir]

Very bummed to hear about Mr. Giger's passing today...

on the bucket list. One day we visit either of the Giger bars in Switzerland, and drink to his memory.

Thanks for the comparison shots. I've been casually looking for the early Tsukuda one as a possible replacement for the big Kenner toy I used to have. Ultimately, it may be easier to just try to go for a Kenner one in a single shot or via salvage.

I notice there are a lot of Thai vinyl bootlegs of Big Chaps, and I was thinking one of those might make a nice placeholder (apart from the awful tails on them) in the mean time, or good custom fodder. Any suggestions as to which ones would be most-likely to be copied from the first Tsukuda release?

Super awesome collection of Aliens! And I see your R2-D2 peeking out in that pic.

I wasn't aware of the Thai boots, any pics? I wouldn't mind adding one to the collection.

Thanks man! This particular shelf used to be for miscellaneous toys, but the Alien additions have pushed everyone out except for poor R2. But I have no where else to put him right now, I need a bigger room!
