Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/main ... exclusives "Great space-friends!"
Re: SUPER7 announces ALIEN ReAction Figures! 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. Super7 will offer FOUR different ALIEN ReAction Figure exclusives at San Diego Comic Con! Read on for details of each exclusive, and click here for even more photos of the ALIEN toys: http://www.flickr.com/photos/super7/col ... 200950829/ SDCC EXCLUSIVE #1 ALIEN REACTION FIGURE “EARLY BIRD PACKAGE” Preorders for the ALIEN ReAction Figures will begin at San Diego Comic Con….and fans who preorder a set of the five ReAction Figures at our Super7’s booth will get more than they ever expected – a full Early Bird Package containing: An ALIEN figures display stage (including original artwork created in the style of 1970s packages), Space Club Membership Card, ALIEN photos, and a sheet of ALIEN stickers!

ALIEN REACTION FIGURES - EARLY BIRD PACKAGE | 5 Figure Preorder, Kit, and Free shipping | $100.00 for the set | Limited quantities – while supplies last | Available at Super7 booth #5245 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SDCC EXCLUSIVE #2 ALIEN REACTION FIGURE 2 PACK “DISCOVERED SALES SAMPLES” BIG CHAP & KANE Super7 tracked down a retired toy sales representative who had a storage unit filled with old catalogs and toys from the 1970s, including a most amazing find: cases of “ALIEN SALES SAMPLES” designated for 1979’s Toy Fair! Each package contains two figures - the ALIEN (Big Chap) and KANE (in Nostromo Space Suit) - in unpainted “test shot” blue plastic. These samples were intended for distribution to wholesale buyers looking for the “next big space movie” product in the 3 ¾” scale. Ultimately, the line was cancelled –as shown by the large red stamp on the box and enclosed letter to the sales staff - and these samples never were taken to the trade show. Okay, full disclaimer: These two-packs are brand new and we are joking about “discovering” them. As far as we have been able to ascertain, ALIEN figures were never displayed at any toy show or event, which made us wonder what really happened behind the scenes. Taking that curiosity further, we decided to create “the sales samples that never existed” and turn it into fun collectible…and a great way to kick off the ReAction Figure series! Super7 will bring a limited quantity of the “Discovered Sales Samples” to San Diego Comic Con! This will be the first opportunity for collectors to own the ALIEN and KANE in ReAction Figure format – five points of articulation, extendable inner jaws, removable clear dome, removable clear space helmet. Each two-pack in “cancelled” packaging (including the sales staff letter) retails for only $40.00. ALIEN REACTION FIGURE 2 PACK - DISCOVERED SALES SAMPLES | Big Chap & Kane | $40.00 for the set | Limited quantities – while supplies last | Available at Super7 booth #5245 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SDCC EXCLUSIVE #3 ALIEN REACTION FIGURE BASES Classic 3 ¾” figures are known to have holes in the heel of the toy, and ReAction Figures will keep that tradition alive! And if there is a hole in the foot, there needs to be a peg somewhere to connect… Super7 has created an Exclusive Base in the shape of the ALIEN ReAction Figure logo complete with said peg. These bases will fit the upcoming ALIEN ReAction Figures as well as most vintage 3 ¾” scale toys. Visit the Super7 booth, sign up for our mailing list, and you will receive a Figure Base for FREE!

Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv Got to see "DISCOVERED SALES SAMPLES" 2 PACKS. Frickin' awesome. Really really nice. Top of my SDCC "get" list.
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv The entire series is great! Can't wait to see these in person next month.
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv What a gloriously thorough realization! Genuinely wowed. Will there be a mail-order option for the Early Bird Package or will it be a mule-only type situation for those of us that are landlocked?
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv I can't think of a more apt release for such an 'early bird package.' Still can't wait for a chance to experience the childhood joy of these we never got to have.
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv ^^^^ Hahaha. Yep. I would have eaten these up as a kid. Grizlli has all my starwars toys on his tattoo station. I'm sure had these been released( dependent on demand, my mom was a Kmart blu light warrior, some of the packaging has like .25 cent stickers... Ohio must have been the drop off point or test region for Kenner.... eBay starwars listing, over half are from Ohio) I would have a few war torn, and a few in box( mom bought in 3's) If I fail to get any but one...... And I know I'm not the only one. The aliens a hot ticket.
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv After SDCC, we will open up preorders for the ReAction Figures online...however, the EARLY BIRD PACKAGES and DISCOVERED SALES SAMPLES will only be available at the convention!
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv Damn that discovered sample set looks fabtastic. I wish I could be there to get one!
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv Yea I would love to score a set of those. That blue goes well with the clear and white accents.
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv is the "space club membership card" just a fun throw-back, or is it a membership to an actual movie/toy club of some sort?
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv It is just as real a club as the cards included with the STAR WARS Early Bird sets.
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv that answer is as cryptic as can be so, is the star wars club real, with newsletters and tchotchkes, secret meet-ups, etc?
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv The only thing real about either club is the cardboard.
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv ha! totally fell for it. too bad; i really wanted for it to be an 80's style fan club!
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv Early reviews of the ALIEN ReAction Figures are popping up on the web! FIGURES.COM has posted a review with an extensive photo gallery- http://www.figures.com/forums/news/33602-advance-review-super7- COLLECTION DX has a cool video feature - http://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/alien_reaction_sdcc_exclusive_0 ACTION FIGURE INSIDER has a review and behind the scenes interview- http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/...-exclusive-review-interview-with-frank-supiot
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv Good luck with Con sales. I hope this is huge. It's such a rad and unexpected s7 line.
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv Here's an interview I did with Brian about the line:
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv ^ Usually I go up and talk to the S7 crew but this year there was no chance for that. They were some hard dedicated workers though. Hopefully they got a little time to enjoy the con.
Re: SUPER7's ALIEN ReAction Figures! (now with SDCC Exclusiv Honestly, there was a line from wednesday at 5 until sunday at 5 with a few breaks here and there. My feet still hurt but it was good to see you guys and chat when I could. Hope everybody had a good time. Next year will be CRAZY. see you guys there.
