Kenner’s Unreleased Alien Figures To Be Produced By Super 7

Posted on April 18, 2013 at 9:36 pm by Joe Moore under Aliens and Predator Toy News

Super 7 has rescued a series of action figures that no one ever thought would see the light of day. In 1979, Kenner had designed, but never produced, a series of 3.75″ figures based on the, now classic movie, Alien. Super 7 has gained the rights from 20th Century Fox and will be creating these figures exactly as originally envision over 30 years ago. There are 5 figures in total. They will sell for $19.99 each with an expected release date of August/September of this year. Pre-orders will begin during San Diego Comic-Con. Included are:

• THE ALIEN (“BIG CHAP”) – w/ removable transparent dome, extendable jaws and glow-in-the-dark head!
• RIPLEY – w/ Flame Thrower
• ASH – w/ Motion Detector
• DALLAS – w/ Flame Thrower
• KANE IN NOSTROMO SPACESUIT – w/ removable helmet and transparent visor

Now, here’s where things get interesting. GMA Network has an article talking about the figures. In the article, it mentions that if this initial batch is successful, we could see the line expanded to the other characters from Alien, and potentially characters from the follow-up, Aliens. You can see pictures of the planned figures by reading on.

    Wow. These are cool, and will probably be purchased. I wonder what the packages will look like.

    I remember reading about this a while back... I might pick them up just cause they will look like vintage figures...

    Tempting, definitely tempting. That said, the only two I would actually consider buying are Ripley and "the alien". Not currently sure these are worth twenty bucks a pop. Will have to see how the packaging looks. Cause if the packaging looks good and "vintage-esque in design, I'll probably get them.

    It is great to see painted copies for the first time. I was expecting that they would only be sold as complete sets. It would be much better to be able to order individual figures that way I could order one of each human and 2 aliens. Here is my photo from the last year's thread;

    Surprised at the praise these seem to be getting. If they didn't have that Kenner backstory and the packaging was standard stuff, would you still be as excited for them, especially at (lol) $20 each?

    I'd love some 3.75 scale Alien toys, but definitely not these.

    It's pure nostalgia, and the Kenner back story is basically what these are beings sold on. I don't think anyone is debating that. It's a piece of lost toy history being given a second chance. Not only that, they'll slide right in with vintage Star Wars toys as well.

    I'll definitely buy these. Possibly two sets if the packaging is as cool as I think it'll be...one set to have loose and one set to keep on the card.

    They look great, just don't know if I can justify the $100. Maybe at some point.
