And there it is... after years of searching for it we finally found the Aliens Queen Hive playset by Kenner at the Montreal Comic Con!
Released in 1993, this is the ultimate item of the great Aliens collection from Kenner. It features the Queen Alien, who can trap her victims and have them being oozed! This was the very first time that we actually saw one for real.
One vendor was selling it new and sealed in the box for $300, which is the average price on Ebay. The vendor next to him had it used, for $85. Sure it is missing three little pieces but still... yet something very cool happened. That vendor remembered us from before. Actually we've bought stuff from him at every Toy Con we went. Seeing Isaac excitement over it, he decided to drop the price to $45!!! We got it! And then he even threw in a bag with another Alien creature, two soldiers and lots of weapons! All that for $45!! Amazing!!!!
The Queen Alien and the hive are in great condition. It still works. We used out Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ooze. The Queen Alien is probably the coolest of the Kenner Aliens figures. Its highly detailed, tall and kinda scary. It has articulable head, arms and legs.
Awesome deal! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes it was a great deal!
DeleteWow, congrats. I've been looking for that as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks! We had never seen it for real before.
DeleteDoes it detach itself from the base?
ReplyDeleteYes the Aliens Queen is not attached to it actually. I place her there for the purpose of these photos.
