This coming Friday is April 26th, and the past few years it has been celebrated at “Alien Day“, as the date of 4/26 is used to commemorate LV-426, the Xenomorph infested planet from Alien and Aliens. Super 7 has released images for two Alien ReAction Figures that will be released on Friday. The figures are inspired by the unused original poster designs by artist Bill Gold. Included are a Xenomorph and Kane. See the details below, and the photos after the jump.

“There are things so terrifying, they only exist in a nightmare… or outer space.”

A week from today (Friday – 4/26) is Alien Day 2019 and to commemorate LV-426, Super7 will be dropping these exclusive Alien ReAction Figures: First is the terrifying Xenomorph in a clear glitter space blue with matching card back. Then there is the doomed Nostromo crew member Kane in a horrifying red with matching card back. Both of these figures and their card art were inspired by the awesome original 1979 Alien concept poster art by Bill Gold that was not used for the film’s release.

These will be available online in the Super7 webstore and at our San Francisco and San Diego stores. See you next Friday!

In 1997, director Paul Verhoeven unleashed his cinematic adaptation of the Starship Troopers novel. The movie follows a group of young adults, as they join various parts of the military ahead of an intergalactic war with a race of gigantic insects. Like many of Verhoven’s films, Starship Troopers is soaked in blood, dark humor, and social commentary. The film has actually spawned a few live action sequels, as well as a few CGI animated films of varying quality. The latest is Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars, which brings back original characters Johnny Rico, and is a direct follow up to the second live action film.

A new statue has been revealed by Gantaku. They are producing a Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars – Warrior Bug 1/6 Scale Diorama Statue. The statue features the most recognizable of the creatures from the series, the Warrior Bug, as it breaks through a stronghold. The massive statue measures at 47″ tall and 53″ long. Pricing and release date haven’t been announced at this time. Check out the photos after the jump.

Shadow of the Colossus was originally a video game released in 2005 for the PlayStation 2. When released, the game pushed the PS2 to its limits, with terrifyingly large creatures, and a novel concept. In the game, you play as Wanderer, who must traverse an unknown land, facing off against sixteen enormous creatures. The concept of the game is that every battle is essentially a boss battle. A remaster of the game (along with Ico) was released for the PlayStation 3 in 2011, which greatly improved the framerate. Last year, a full remake was released for the PlayStation 4, which retained the novelty of the original, but made gameplay adjustments that greatly enhanced the overall experience.

Prime 1 Studio is releasing a series of statues based on the Colossi from the game. Their first release will be based on Valus, the First Colossus from the game. The statue will stand at 18″ tall, with a diorama base. It features light up LED eyes and sigil, a swap out sigil, and a removable Wanderer. An exclusive version will be available, which includes Wanderer’s horse; Argo. Look for it to be released between June and August of 2020. Check out official photos, details, and the pre-order links after the jump.

The third installment of the Friday The 13th franchise is probably one of it’s most important entries. The 1982 film became the precursor to a longer running narrative that spans parts four through 6, and also introduces the iconic look that Jason Voorhees is known for. For the first time, Jason dons the instantly recognizable hockey mask. And though the physical mask has changed in nearly every film since, the general style of the face hugging mask will forever be associated with the horror icon. Another important aspect of the film is that it was filmed in 3D, with many of special effects and screen gags tailored to take advantage of the technology.

The Friday The 13th Part 3 – Jason Voorhees One:12 Collective Figure is available now, though it may be a bit hard to find thanks to its popularity. The figure was supplied by sponsor Entertainment Earth. After the jump, you can see my photos and thoughts on the release.
