The Nostromo Crew Special Action Figure Set featured three characters, Dallas, Kane and Lambert attired in compression suits as they appeared in the movie during their ill fated visit to the derelict space craft. Originally packaged in a retro themed blue box, this set of figures was first made available to convention goers at New York Comic Con in October, 2015.
During the following year, another release of this set duplicating all three figures featured packaging designed in an exclusive Japanese themed window box. This item was released on ALIEN Day, April 26, 2016; and this second box of figures was available directly to the public from Super7’s online store.
Three figures comprise the set.
Dallas in compression suit.
Includes suit helmet accessory.
Kane in compression suit.
Includes suit helmet accessory.
Lambert in compression suit.
Includes suit helmet accessory.
Additional notes:
– The 3 pack window package box design is an emulation of vintage Kenner Special Action Figure Sets containing Star Wars figures initially released in 1978.
– The blue and black themed boxes match the retro themed packaging of previous card backed figures from earlier Wave 1 & 2 ALIEN ReAction figure and Egg Chamber Play Set release items.
– Aside from the different blue and black packaging, both sets are alike in all other content.
– Dallas and Lambert wearing snoopy caps are new head sculpts and are unique to these two packages. These two characters wearing blue and red compression suits do not appear in any other ALIEN ReAction product line, making them exclusive to this set.
– All three compression suits depict different colours corresponding to the characters as they appear in the movie.
– The helmets for each character are identical and interchangeable without detection.
– Differences in colour tones can help identify and determine loose samples of Kane’s yellow suit variants. The previous Wave 1 release version of Kane features a subdued hue while the item present in the 3 pack is of a more saturated colour, making it brighter in appearance.
