The HG Toys ALIEN Target Set is one of those legendary toys that hardly ever cross mortal hands.
The first time I became aware of it was in Andy Foley's TV Toy Zone catalogue around 1990. That was just a picture.
I then saw the real thing on the toy fair stall of the late Mr. Star Wars Jim Stevenson, a legend himself.
This example was on Worthpoint so I saved the pics.
Has anyone got an alien target?
In America, Alien was rated R - no one under 17 admitted unless accompanied by an adult. In Britain it was literally an X Certificate film - no one under 18 admitted at all, although this was later reduced to a 15 Certificate.
ReplyDeleteDespite this, there were a surprising number of toys based on the film, at least for the first one. The children on the box top would have been too young to see the film in a theatre.
