ALIEN Day was pretty good this year. Not a great load of announcements but we did see a few game updates and a selection other official announcements. Significantly, we did see a welcome promotional image from Alvarez’s upcoming ALIEN movie. No new action figures or toys were being promoted this year but I’m good with that. After all, we’re probably going to see new fun stuff when that movie and upcoming ALIEN television show are released. That will be some time yet and licence holders are probably already hard at work fulfilling those goals but not yet ready or (more importantly) constrained by NDAs to not make revelations right now. I’m sure Disney’s licencing department is holding the reins close to their chest on this issue right now.

In the meantime, we’ll keep chugging away at our fannish endeavors. Here is the latest addition to our section dedicated to ALIEN product errors, faults and defects. A Super 7 ReAction ALIEN figure in sealed package, missing its clear dome/carapace. Yes, that is correct. This item was packaged missing this iconic head covering body part.This fellow was sealed in this incomplete state. He is now documented and celebrated here at HIDEOUS PLASTIC along with a wide variety of of production error samples we have lovingly labeled as ImPerfect Organisms. Go check ’em all out! There’s some truly “smack my head” messed up samples on display there now.

Thank you Baptiste Coudert for photos of this slightly “wrong” figure. I love it.
