Super 7 Teases Release Date for Kenner Inspired 1986 ALIENS Warriors.

Super 7 have released this image of their upcoming 18″ ALIENS action figure derived from the 1979 Kenner action figure. This image teases the release date: 1 March, 2017.

Super 7 intend to release a pair of variants of this figure.   A ‘Classic Toy’ finish in flat black with glow in the dark highlights and another, ‘Marine Ambush’, in a brushed copper finish is expected to be available as well.  Very soon, by the looks of it.  You can’t get much sooner than, say, tomorrow (or the next day, depending on time zones)?  I’ll be very keen to hear more about this figure during this coming week.  In the meantime, here’s what I know about it so far.

Needless to say, I’ll be purchasing both of these tributes; items celebrating the Classic 1986 movie and also the original infamous 1979 action figure.

What’s also of serendipitous note here is the release date of this figure.  It will dovetail perfectly with the launch of the HIDEOUS PLASTIC KickStarter campaign. A campaign for the book about the original 1979 figure these items are based on.  I don’t know how this happens.  This couldn’t be more perfect.  These 2 launches weren’t planned to be in association with each other, but yes.  The HIDEOUS PLASTIC KickStarter campaign is being launched on the same day, March 1, 2017.

I couldn’t have asked for a better launch if I begged for one!  I expect this coming week to be flat out busy for me.  Wow…

For the record, once I have these figures in hand, they will be added to the book.  They’re derivatives of the old Kenner item so they will be included.  By their very nature, they have a reserved spot in the book, already; just like their place in the HIDEOUS PLASTIC Gallery has been assured.
