I am really extremely excited for this line to come out, so I thought we might as well have a thread to keep up with the updates for any other non-vinyl action figure lovers on here. I can't even put in to words how awesome this is, but suffice it to say I have a strange feeling inside. Issuing or re-issuing a series of concept toys from such great lines is I am sure the wet dream of many a child of the 70s/80s. My mind is already going wild with the possibilities.
Here are some preview shots from SDCC showing the upcoming line of previously unproduced 3 3/4" Alien action figures, based on the defunct 1979 line.

I really hope that these happen. My key request would be, since these are action figures, and whether OG or modern would most likely be produced in China, I am strongly hoping for large run numbers [i.e. mass produced] and ease of availability. Limited editions/rare figures I couldn't really care any less for. I expect a huge demand for these, and ideally would like a pricepoint to what one would expect of other comparable action figures. My biggest fear would be another Shogun Stormtrooper release.
