No blood...no guts...no tits......I don't get it."It's a mask replica from an "R" rated movie. Rated R - Children Under 17 Restricted. Toys R Us isn't really a big hang out for the 17 and up crowd. It's right there in the aisle with other "all ages" toys so it's being marketed to kids who can't even see the film.Same thing happened in 1979 when the Kenner 18" ALIEN figure came out.Other than this mask and the Kenner ALIEN, I can't think of a item from an "R" rated movie that's shown up in a regular toy store.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndQuite the contrary. TRU seems to be filled with people over 20 looking for "hot" collectibles and figures. I was around during the time of ALIEN and vividly remember seeing tons of Kenner ALIEN figures sitting on shelves. They were expensive for the time and the whole "yanked" from the market myth is greatly exaggerated.......................Larry
