Box art features of smiling children aiming gun towards target featuring ferocious and violent alien from the 1979 film. Based on the success of Star Wars and its subsequent merchandising line, companies scrambled for rights to produce merchandise for other Sci-Fi films which they felt they could market towards young children. Most companies did not know that the movie had an R rating and a heavy amount of violence, and on some pieces, such as the one we are offering, show images w/small children. Box has moisture staining at top, resulting in some rippling. Lid corners are split and show scattered wear. Shrink-wrap has 5" split at lower right and tray has warping at corners due to tightness of shrink-wrap. Box is VG/Fine. Contents are NM as packaged.
