Remember this! That ALIEN action figure

[Source: SciFi.com] We have no idea whose bright idea it was to make a kid's toy as a tie-in for an R-rated movie, but whoever it was was a genius!

Not everybody agreed, though.

When Kenner came out with its 18-inch-tall Alien figure in 1979, parents' groups were outraged, and the toothy toy was yanked from the market. The kids in the commercial below don't seem to mind, though.
