SSSSneak peek....this will go public tomorrow...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
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:

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.

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!


ALIEN REACTION FIGURE BASE | Free! While supplies last. | Available at Super7 booth #5245

A limited quantity of this popular catalog have been printed for San Diego Comic Con – and these will be available for FREE!

My wallet's going to love this

Seriously, I'm pretty excited about this! Awesome move, S7! I also like that the body format seems to mirror Fisher Price's Adventure People format, and anyone who's seen the FP AP Space Series can second that it's PERFECT for this line. I'm happy to see this style return

Some Fisher-Price Adventure People, Space Series examples:

Oh man - that Alpha Star was one of my favorites as a kid!

This is seriously cool, i cant wait to see these!

Want this. What a fantastic idea.

The original Kenner Star Wars prototypes were basically repurposed Fisher Price Adventure People. So you’re right on the money!

amazing idea. finger's crossed for a super shogun alien

^^ if only it could shoot acid out of it's hand. although then it may be sought after by the military's weapon's division

remember how the super shogun godzilla had the fire breath "tongue"? well perhaps the same could be done for the alien's inner mouth "tongue", but w' improved strength in the super easy breakable levers.

Not sure if anyone made this connection yet, but the ALIEN REACTION figs were "teaser #4" back in January....

Toytalk with Jordan Hembrough of the Travel Channel’s new TV series: TOY HUNTER!
He mentions Super 7 x Aliens...

Cool to see these made. But its certainly understandable why these were never produced back then. Basically, they would have been creating a children's toy line for an R-rate horror movie. Not good PR-wise! Nowadays (and with the way these will likely be marketed), these are for adult collectors.

There was no pg13 rating until the 80s ( the 1st being Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom, so an R rating did not necessarily have the same meaning as it does today.

psilo110 what are you trying to say?

That Alien shouldn't have been rated R?

Every single Alien movie has been rated R...

Sorry, I should have quoted the "kids toy line for an R rated movie" statement from above. The Terminator franchise carried R ratings as well and still had toys aimed at children, I was just pointing out that there was no buffer between pg and R ratings back then.

don't know the status of shogun fett since the disney deal, but was glad to see this pop up today! sdcc?

Hopefully theres and even balance of all the characters being sold. I can only see buying the Alien itself since H.R. Giger's design suckers me into buying anuything.

I am sure a lot of people who are going to pick up only 1 or 2 are going to grab Alien and Ripley, I'd imagine Super7 will be prepared for this.

I can't wait to hopefully get a set of these. I hope they are released at SDCC and not in the late tail end of the year.

Visit Super7 Booth #1166 at WONDERCON as we reveal the prototype Glasses for the first time in public!

Those glasses are really awesome, I can't wait to see the final product. I love that it is original artwork, rather than screened movie images. I almost wish they were the same cylindrical shape as the vintage ones though to match all the other fast food ones I have.

$50 for a set of four?! yikes. it might be worth it if they came with cozies in the shape of the egg husk.

That works out to $12.50 a glass. That's not too shabby a deal considering that previous Super7 glasses (Rose Vampire, Garuru, etc) have retailed for $10 a pop!

And the package for this set is killer....all will be revealed at Wondercon!

I fucking LOVE this! I really like the Super Seven Burger King type design! Awesome!!!

Any update on the toys??

I am guessing the aim is SDCC, but I hope at least it is not limited to that. As a set makes sense to me, to sell all the figures, but gives me some trepidation over what the cost might be.
