ALIEN Day: New Reaction Figures

Seven new Super7 ReAction figures based on characters from the first four ALIEN movies are now available on the Super7 web store. The most remarkable of this 2021 ALIEN Day release is the new Dog Alien. This is the first time any characters from ALIEN 3 have been represented in the 3.75 retro themed line up. Also new on the ever growing Super7 ALIEN roster is the Newborn. Likewise, this is the first character appearing from ALIEN Resurrection in ReAction figure format. They are both very welcome additions. The Dog Alien looks super neat. The Newborn, I’m not so sure of that one. It certainly is a bit weird.Also available from today are five other new ALIEN  and ALIENS ReAction figures. These aren’t quite as exciting as they’re more or less new variants of already extant characters, utilising already familiar sculpts. There’s a new version of the Alien and it’s good if a little bit of an eyeball roller; and long overdue for retirement. There’s three new versions of the ALIENS Xenomorph. Ummm… That’s OK, I think. Plus a mystifying “I’m not too sure why they made this variant?” of Hudson; which looks like Super7’s previous release of Hudson but featuring a grimace and mounted on a “Game over Man, game over!” card featuring layout stylistically reminiscent of one of Bill Gold’s early ALIEN posters. I guess it’s OK. …I guess.

Anyway, the Dog Alien is clearly the leader of this pack. Newborn comes in at second place for its outstanding weirdness and the others all come in some place after that. A great selection all round and a welcome reveal from Super7 on ALIEN day, if a little uneven.

Each figure is available now from Super7’s webstore for US$18 each.
