Alien Action Figure Commercial 1970

I would've loved one of these as a kid, still wouldn't mind one now. The commercial is for the 18" Alien action figure produced by Kenner and was based on the alien in the movie. The toy was a huge failure, kids couldn't see the movie because of the R rating and the toy scared them. Here's a nice article about the history of the toy, pretty interesting.

As I said I would've loved one, the thing is huge, it's scary and cool looking, what more could you want. I just saw one in mint condition selling for nearly a thousand dollars on ebay.
