Multiple colors of Aliens Fighter have been reported:
That's not to say that the Bootleggers didn't make some changes and mistakes. For starters, notice the engines....they're pointing backwards! This is because the entire wing assembly has, in fact, been attached pointing the wrong way. This isn’t as noticeable at first, as the four wing guns have been glued facing front.
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts Not for children under 3 years.
The warning is glued to the toy itself since this particular bootleg was sold without any additional packaging.
But let's not forget the cool focus of this toy. Remember this is an Aliens Fighter. When we take a peek into the cockpit, you'll see that this X-Wing is piloted by an alien from Close Encounters! Unfortunately the cockpit is glued shut, so the pilot is not removable for extra-vehicular activities. The color of the alien matches the color of the vehicle, resulting in some odd looking creatures.
In the picture below, also note the cool title running along the side of the ship. The text appears on both sides, and reads correctly on both faces. Again, the lack of additional packaging creates the need to advertise the line on the toy itself.
