ALIEN REACTION FIGURES
In 1979, prototypes for 3 3/4-inch 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 exclusives related to
this line at San Diego Comic Con:

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 3/4-inch 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 3/4-inch 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 3/4-inch scale toys.
Visit the Super7 booth, sign up for our mailing list, and you will receive a
Figure Base for FREE!
ALIEN TM REACTION FIGURE BASE
Free! While supplies last.

SDCC EXCLUSIVE #4
ALIEN REACTION FIGURE CATALOG
Thirty-four years in the making! Get the lowdown on
Super7's plans for the ALIEN ReAction Figure line in our "vintage style"
catalog! A limited quantity of this popular catalog have been printed for San
Diego Comic Con - and these will be available for FREE! Formatted exactly
like the 3 3/4" space-figure booklets of yesteryear, this 12-page catalog
features brand new information and photos on all five of the ALIEN ReAction
Figures. Much of the catalog text and imagery is adapted from original toy
packages and sales materials from the 1979 ALIEN product line, continuing the
fun, retro vibe of the ReAction Figures themselves.
