Box art features two 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 Alien 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 lid has corners that are split and show scattered wear. Shrink-wrap missing and tray and target exhibit some color fading. Box is VG/Fine. Contents are VF as packaged. Hard to find toy that was boycotted by parent's groups.
