The movie Alien has been considered the first Sci-Fi horror. Its main star, the Alien, is completely different and lethal than no other Aliens or creature ever seen before. Its creator H.R. Geiger, was the creator of the Alien and its hive. The Alien movie has had three sequals which are unique in their own standings.
    The Aliens have moved off the screen and into the toy shelves. The first Alien toy was produced by Kenner in 1979, and stood a fearsome 18 inches tall! The figure was so "scary" to children, that it was pulled of the shelves. Such a statement for a toy, is rewarding to collectors. But on the other hand, Kenner had to dump its 4 1/2 inch Alien toys. To be produced was Alien #1 w/ Sliding inner jaw, Alien #2 (Unsure its function), Ripely in Lieuntent outfit, Ripley in Mobeius Outfit, Dallas & Ash.
    Aliens were finally brought back to the stores in 92' with a whole new toy line. Produced by Kenner, The line added a twist that the Alien would partially resemble its host. This Idea may have been spawned from a early version of the script of Alien 3, the "Dog Alien". The Humans & Androids were loosely based off the charachters from Aliens. The line continued for 3 years until it's demise. Yet Kenner has still had demand for Aliens figures. Kay-Bee has been working with Kenner and bringing out re-hashes of figures exclusively for Kaybee. The most recent line is "Aliens Hive". This line was probably the most exciting for collectors because Kenner finally issue prototype figures they were meant for the original line, but were never produced. The figure list is of the Alien Drone, Poseable Jaw Predator and the Huge head Predator. Kindly enough (to Prototype collectors), Kenner did not produce the Space Suit Predator, which is extremely cool piece.
    With the new issued figure for Aliens Hive, was a Android Marine. This figure was originally just a concept sketch for a idea of the original series, but was never taken seriously to be a figure, until Kaybee gave a little nudge.
    The Aliens saga continued with the highly detailed Alien Ressurection figures. These figures are exceptionally nice, but need work on having the figures stand up! With regular 6 figures, there is a Walmart 12" drone, and a Japanese Exclusive "Green Alien" which is limited to 5,000. Japan also released a little later a "Clear Alien" which was limited to 3,000. Who knows what other Aliens figure may arise from Kenner? Alien 5 in works?
    As side notes, a 18 inch prototype Alien from 1979 exists. The figure is in all black. Also, other concept sketches than the Android Marine, was a Dog Alien, Female Predator, Alien Hatchling, Underwater Predator & more! Fun Facts!
