London Underground's Buckhurst Hill station in Essex was closed after the Alien Egg figure was discovered by a station cleaner. The toys are about 4ins long and covered in a slimy jelly substance. The figures, which are sold in an egg-shaped pod, are curled up in a foetal position. A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said that the Metropolitan Police, who were concerned that there could have been a suspicious death, had alerted paramedics. He said: "No one was taking any chances. It's easy to judge in retrospect but everyone was very worried about what might have happened. We took the item to hospital so a doctor could have a proper look. He declared it an alien toy." A spokesman for the British Transport Police said the toy was quite convincing: "If it can leave paramedics with room for doubt then its going to have to be fairly lifelike." The aliens, made by H Grossman in Glasgow, cost £1.99 and are tipped to be one of the most popular toys this Christmas. Already seven million have been sold and 3.5 million are expected to be bought before Christmas. Martin Grossman, the firm's managing director, said the aliens were not realistic: "I don't know how on earth a neon green or metallic grey alien with massive ears, three fingers and its legs stuck together can look like a baby. They come in lots of variations but never flesh colour." ======================= Robert F. Tatman Computer Help Desk Desktop & LAN Services Systems Department Philadelphia Newspapers, Inc.
