The New York Toy Fair is on right now and we’re expecting some surprise reveals.  Unsurprising though, was the reveals for the remaining Nostromo crew members for Super7’s long running ReAction figures.  These have been public knowledge for some time and as expected Wave 3 will contain Parker, Lambert and Brett in crew gear.   A new version of Dallas and Ripley will also be available; along with a decapitated version of Ash.  Looks like Jones will be an accessory figure, too; and a version of Kane in his suit with an unsightly yabby attached to his face.

I’m hoping the blue card backs will make a reappearance.  Series 1 featured these as pre-order exclusives.  We haven’t seen them since but these are just as likely to be promotional packaging.

What we weren’t expecting – and should really not have been a surprise – was Super7’s reveal of Wave 2 of their ALIEN SPACE VILLAIN blind box figures.  Once again, this set features variants of the Alien character randomly placed inside each box.  Below we can see what we can expect.

Speculating here, but on the left we see what appears to be a glow in the dark figure previously only available as an exclusive item with Super7’s ALIEN carry case, a blood spattered albino akin to Super7’s Biohazard Queen released a couple of years back; and a pretty blue Alien that instantly goes to the top of my want list – each randomly secreted away inside a little red box of their own.  Isn’t that sweet..?

The ALIEN SPACE VILLAIN series has been a lot of fun and this 2nd wave of figures will be sure to add to that joy.  In regards to this series, Brian Flynn has already stated “There is a secret fourth color!” 

Well.  It looks like the fun has only just gotten started.  No release date on any of these items just yet; and it looks like there’s no showing of the Super7 ReAnimated ALIEN items revealed at Toy Fair last year.  Drat.  I was hoping to see more of those.
