The SPACE VILLAIN series of ALIEN ReAction figures have become an irregularly appearing series of blind box items, of which this set (A-3) consists of four figures. As these are blind box items, the concealed content of each box was unknown to the purchaser until it was opened. These individually boxed items were available either singly or in cases of 12 directly from Super7’s online store or other retailers.
Three versions of the Alien are represented in the product line up, consisting of: Acid Blood, Nebula Nightmare and Rage Aliens. A fourth figure, featuring Kane in his breached compression suit called Ghost was the fourth figure completing this series. The Kane figure featured a removable helmet otherwise no additional accessories or extra items were included other than the plain, unmarked clear plastic bag each figure was packed inside, within each box.

Additional notes:
– SPACE VILLAIN Series 3 (A-3) figures are more accurately the 4th series of ALIEN ReAction figure items to be sold in a ‘blind box’ format, 2014’s Deep Space Mystery Eggs being the first.
– Like previous released SPACE VILLAIN product line, the design of the box packaging mimics Japanese Popy Empire Strikes Back blind box product line of the 1980s.
– Japanese characters continue their presence on the package for the A-3 blind box.
– The figure on the front of the box is the Rage variant. Other variants in this series were publicly promoted.
– Prior to release, the design of the Ghost variant was undisclosed to the public. It wasn’t until blind boxes were opened that the mystery figure’s appearance was revealed.
– The Ghost Kane figure was the first character in the SPACE VILLAIN blind box series to not be an Alien.
The Ghost Kane figure is also known as the “champagne” Kane figure.
– The Ghost figure is the rarest of the set, making it the most valuable of this release.
– Blood Spatter on the Acid Blood figure is sprayed on giving each sample of this item a unique pattern. No two are alike.
– This set of figures were also purchasable in cases of twelve boxed units per case. Distribution numbers of figures present in each case were exactly alike with each case containing:
1/12 – Ghost.
3/12 – Acid Blood.
4/12 – Rage.
4/12 – Nebula Nightmare.
