The first of my Alien Visitors was made from two Japanese plastic kits. The head, torso, hands and feet came from one of four “Monster Cyborg” kits made by Imai around 1984. The arms and legs in this kit were just thin rods intended to flail about as the figure was jiggled. I found more substantial limbs in an older (1976?) Marui kit of a robot named Jagaranda. I went to the trouble of combining these two kits because I really wanted to use the head, which seemed to be based on the goblin-like creatures reportedly seen in Hopkinsville, Kentucky in 1955. This was a nice change of pace from all the usual “grays”!

The gun came from a Tomy Zoid. I littered the base with some tools to give a rustic, farm-like look, thinking that the extraterrestrial might be looking for a cow.

Completed in 1993.
