Not all action figures are created equal. Most make their way to retail outlets in perfect condition to be sold to eager customers. Others have no hope of making this claim even before they leave the factory premises. Take this pair of Super7 ReAction figures. Here is the Alien and Ash, both made it out the gate to the public. Neither are fit for retail – and that’s what makes this jolly pair so interesting. This Gloss Black Alien is from Super7’s A1 Series of blind box SPACE VILLAIN ReAction figures. At a glance, he doesn’t look too bad but a closer inspection reveals he is in possession of two left legs. Ash is from Super7’s ALIEN ReAction figure series Wave 3, he’s intentionally painted with milky android blood over his upper torso. He’s meant to be like that but he is strangely lacking any details on his face. His eyes and eyebrows have failed to be painted and he blankly stares at the world, eternally failing to connect with his human being peers. The mind of a deceitful machine forever trapped behind a blind gaze.

This pair of malfunction quality control samples have both been added to the section on HIDEOUS PLASTIC dedicated to such production errors, faults and other anomalies that defy explanation, ImPerfect Organisms. Man, that page is full of weird stuff, and growing.
