Spotted Online – Kenner Star Wars + Alien Concept Action Figure

Woah. The internet is packed with incredible and fun history!
Charles Lippincott shared photos on Facebook of what has been described as a Kenner concept presentation piece where a Hammerhead action figure was hacked and modified to create an Alien. The Alien ReAction Figure series* brought the idea to life decades later, but seeing these shots of a mutilated Hammerhead helps explain the history behind Kenner’s Alien work in 1979. I pulled a few of the pics into Photoshop and edited them; you can see the unedited pics here.
