UPDATED.

Super7 have shared a pair of images on their Facebook page of their upcoming 2018 San Diego Comic Con exclusive of what appears to be a new iteration of their popular 3.75 inch ALIEN ReAction figure, the ‘Coin Alien’.

It’s been speculated the figure is intended as an oblique tribute to the original kit bashed concept piece made by Kenner in 1979.  An original 3.75 inch range Star Wars Hammerhead action figure was used as a base to create the first ALIEN prototype in this range. The color scheme on the Super7 item bares more than just a passing resemblance to that Kenner Star Wars character. 

Speculation aside, also included in the package will be a coin.  Not really sure what you have to do with that – such things as coins have been used as tokens to enter Super7 events in the past – other than that possible use, it mimics such coins that have accompanied earlier toy lines such as those appearing in the Star Wars: Power of the Force line of figures.

There’s an entire gallery of genuine production samples and prototypes here on HIDEOUS PLASTIC and you can easily see the influence they have on this new Super7 piece.

No price or information about this item just yet other than it will be a SDCC 2018 exclusive.

Thank you Steve Dwyer and Todd Smith for your insight.
