Alien ReAction by Super7 Preorders begin August 1st

Preorders begin this Thursday August 1st for the pseudo resurrected Alien figures by Super7, The story goes that Super7 managed to get ahold of prototype Alien figures originally made to be released in concert with the original 1979 movie that never saw production.

From the Super7 website:

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. 

Collect all five ReAction Figures -

* THE ALIEN ("BIG CHAP") - w/ removable transparent dome, extendable jaws and glow-in-the-dark head! 

* RIPLEY - w/ Flame Thrower

* ASH - w/ Motion Detector

* DALLAS - w/ Flame Thrower

* KANE IN NOSTROMO SPACESUIT - w/ removable helmet and transparent visor
