This first complete line up of ALIEN ReAction figures featuring an initial release of five characters was Super7’s first card backed appearance of their licenced ALIEN 3.75 inch product range. Significantly, the design of the figures were directly influenced by Kenner’s unproduced and abandoned ALIEN toy line that abruptly ceased development in 1979.
Furthermore, the Super7 designed blue themed card backs themselves can trace their influential heritage to mock up cards Kenner had designed more than three decades, previously. While Kenner never did manage to release any 3.75 inch toys based on their short lived ALIEN property in 1979, this set of five different characters on blue cards emulates what they may indeed have looked like had Kenner done so.
Five characters comprise the intended initial release of this set of SDCC 2013 pre-order ALIEN ReAction figures. Pricing adjustments made an “additional, secret figure that will be included in the Super7 pre-orders that will be available only for those who pre-ordered sets of Alien from us, and will not be available anywhere else.” was revealed to be a 2nd, translucent version of the Alien, bringing the total number of figures to six.
All features of the “exclusive mystery bonus … translucent grey Smoke Alien!” are alike in all aspects to the regular Alien figure except being cast in transparent plastic. Backing cards for both figures are exactly alike without any variation.
