Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! I'm guessing the angle of the shot obscures the other thumbs? But the number and possition of alien fingers has varied throughout the films (although these should be only based on the original film.)
Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! those new pictures ares great, I can't wait for this line. so glad its finnally seeing the light of day
Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! Not sure why he has 2 right hands but I don't recall the angle obscuring any extra digits.
Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! The BIG CHAP has two thumbs on each hand. Accurate to the film, and more importantly, accurate to the original Kenner prototype.
Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! Yes, and for the record "Omelette du fromage" was from Steve Martin's 1977 album “Let’s Get Small”.

Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! I have a question, and if it's been asked already I apologize.. Will these be a limited release? I ask because A. I won't be at SDCC to preorder it (I hope there could be like a Skullbrain preorder or something?) and I'd love to get a set of these. And B. These things are going to have lots of crossover appeal. I know I want a set and I guess so will every other ALIEN fanatic, and about a 10 times as many of those people are going want just the Alien (the fairweather alien fans?), then the oldschool toy collectors, the oldschool Star Wars toys fans, sci-fi fans, HR Giger fans, etc... I just hope there will be enough to go around. That's all. I'd love to get a set, and maybe a second Alien to completely wear out as I carry it with me everywhere I go. I obviously don't want or need to know exact numbers, but just knowing if they're limited or not would help.
Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! Very valid point, which was kind of discussed but never really cleared up. The cross appeal market will be huge for these. My hope is that since these are not like a usual sofubi toy run, and are made to order in China, I've really got my fingers crossed that Super7 ordered a massive, huge, giant quantity of them. I could give a blade of grass for 'rarity' or 'exclusivity' - I say give 'em to everyone and let us all rejoice in their awesome glory. The hard part is the price point makes me think that this might not be the case.
Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! The golden rule for this project is WWKD -- What Would Kenner Do? If the plug had not been pulled on the line, these toys would have been widely available and we intend to follow that model. We aren't Hasbro or Mattel, so we aren't exactly producing a "massive" quantity, but these are not limited editions, nor will they be promoted as such. We will do everything possible to make sure these land on your shelves - we do not want these to be hard to get. We still have more surprises up our sleeves for the ALIEN line between now and SDCC when the preorders begin. Just because we don't want these to be hard to get doesn't mean we aren't going to have fun along the way! It may not be my place to say this, but $19.99 is a steal for these figs! After showing prototypes literally across the country, the price point received compliments from everyone - most were pleasantly surprised they were that inexpensive! New STAR WARS toys (surely produced in much greater quantities) retail for $12 at places like Target these days, and new ALIEN/PROMETHEUS figures from NECA frequently retail for $25+. For some more background on how the line came to be, check out this article on MTV's site- http://geek-news.mtv.com/2013/04/17/kenner-alien-figures/
Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! Indeed. For a licensed, collector-focused product, that's a good price.
Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! I'm really excited that these are coming out this year. I know patience is virtue but I anticipated a '14 release date so to find out that these are arriving in 4-5 months is fantastic news.
Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! ^^^^^ You do realize you just jinxed this release by at least another two years for posting that. Never, ever put stuff like that out into the universe. It's a cold hearted I FART A LOT Bryce
Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! ^^ What are you talking about? The only other time I was excited about a release date was back when I posted something in '09 regarding the Mook 2 release.....ah...nevermind.
Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! ^^ Hahahahahaaa.......ha.......ah..........ahh.........awwww.

Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! Soooooo..... with SDCC approaching, can we expect to learn if the rest of us will be left hanging with these guys? Forgive the prodding, I am just so excited for a set of Alien figures.
Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! We are going to have more than one exclusive related to ALIEN available at SDCC. Folks not attending the show (or not in the SSSS) may not get a crack at the exclusives, but you'll certainly be able to get the five ReAction Figures once they are released. We will be at SDCC booth #5245. Book a flight!
