Super7 Alien ReAction Figure Pre-Orders Open August 1st
Coming on Thursday, Super7 opens up pre-orders for their Alien ReAction set. I already scored my pre-order at SDCC a few weeks ago (but it is looking like something went wrong; I was not given an Early Bird pack at the show) so all I have to do is sit back and wait, but those of you not at the show will want to keep your eyes open and grab this when it goes online.
I know I shouldn’t be this excited about such a simple idea for action figures, but there’s something truly nostalgic about the way Super7 has handled this entire launch and just knowing they plan to apply these concepts to other lines makes me very happy.
In 1979, prototypes for 3 ¾†action figures for the ALIEN film were developed but never manufactured. Through our network of industry and collector contacts, Super7 has unearthed reference material and original 34-year-old prototypes and will now make these “lost toys†a reality.
Under authorization from 20th Century Fox, Super7 will produce the full series of ALIEN toys as part of our ReAction Figure Series (Retro-Action). Each is stylized exactly as items from the “golden age†of action figures with approximately five points of articulation, accessories, and period-authentic blister card packaging.
