The first Alien action figure; and the first toy based on an R-rated movie. Frequently these vintage items can be found today but are commonly broken and missing parts.
I've written a massive thread dedicated to outlining how to repair and maintain one of these Classic action figures:
1979 Kenner Alien Complete Restoration
Enjoy!

 Welcome to the forums, Windebieste! That's a really helpful thread for collectors looking to preserve their figures, thanks for sharing! Giving this an upvote. :) |
Web site for my new book, HIDEOUS PLASTIC - In stores everyone can hear you scream. was launched yesterday. The book investigates and explores almost everything you could want to know about ye olde Kenner ALIEN action figure. Here's the link: http://www.hideousplastic.com/

Nice work! |
 I'm really interested in supporting the Kickstarter for your book, will check your website often for updates, and of course I want a copy!! "Let The Cosmic Incubation Begin" ~ H.R. Giger |
Sounds like a deal to me. :) I'll also be adding News and reviews of ALIEN action figures. For example, I've just added News about NECA's new PROMETHEUS Lost Wave action figure set to the site's front page. Check it out. More News coming soon. -Windebieste. |
That's sounds awesome! Keep us posted! |
Thanks windebieste and welcome to Scified! It's great that you are compiling this very interesting book, I wish you the very best of luck with it! "Let The Cosmic Incubation Begin" ~ H.R. Giger |
Thank you. It's coming along fine. The book is largely complete now - it needs fine tuning in terms of content. Then Professionally edited and designed to be presentable. Those 2 costs will be factored into the KickStarter campaign sometime next year. Not far away now, huh. I'll be announcing when that happens well in advance. Right now, my big priority is promoting its existence. As such, the site is updated regularly. Go check it out. -Windebieste

Here's the 'HIDEOUS PLASTIC - REVEAL' video. |
Looks absolutely awesome. Fantastic to have an exhaustive account of the Kenner Alien figures, plus all related figures. Greatly appreciate the work you have put into this windebieste! Definitely a must have tome! ;) "Let The Cosmic Incubation Begin" ~ H.R. Giger |
Thank you. Mind you, you won't have to just take my word for it. Soon you'll be able to judge that for yourself first hand once I release the 30 page excerpt. That's planned for release around the end of the year. Not far to go, now. ;) |
Added 20 images of the GLORIOUS 24 inch tall Gentle Giant (Hey, there's nothing 'gentle' about this thing...lol ) glow in the dark Tribute ALIEN to the web site Gallery. Check it out! 2 full feet of hideous plastic cast in a bright lurid green that won't let you sleep at night. Too awesome! http://www.hideousplastic.com/?page_id=793

Amazing pics windebieste! Yikes two feet of stunning, glowing Alien...even the box is cool! "Let The Cosmic Incubation Begin" ~ H.R. Giger |
Continuously impressed by this. How long has this taken you to put together, just out of curiosity? |
18 months; which also included 12 months of waiting, waiting, waiting... for legal advice and guidance. Mind you, that time was also put into getting everything ready for the site launch. Now I just have to organise the excerpt for release. |
HIDEOUS PLASTIC: Preview Edition Now Available! A FREE! 30 page excerpt of the book's current work in progress is now ready for your evaluation. Enjoy! |
While I am engaged in investigating costings and establishing a budget for the this book Project, I urge anyone with a FaceBook or YouTube account to please consider promoting it prior to the commencement of the KickStarter campaign in March. I Gotta Start Promoting this Book Now... -Windebieste. |
The last couple of days I've been assembling the KickStarter page. It will go live at the beginning of next month, March. Right now, just finalising costings and other details for the Goals and Rewards tiers. So far, it's shaping up well and looking good. :) -Windebieste. |
It's been 25 years since Kenner released their range of ALIENS action figures in 1992.
-Windebieste. |
I am pleased to announced the KickStarter campaign for the book HIDEOUS PLASTIC - In stores everyone can hear you scream has gone live. |
 AWESOME! |
Just like you. :D OK, I've never met you; but hey. Why not? *shrugs* lol. Regardless. Thank you. ;) -Windebieste. PS. Was that your facehugger.gif I saw on the AvP:G forums..? |
