Alien ReAction Figures Series 2 Toyark Gallery

Posted on December 15, 2014 at 11:04 am by Joe Moore under Aliens and Predator Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

The ReAction Figure line comes full circle with the newly released Alien ReAction Series 2 Figures. This wave gives us some new figures in the alien line, which were the very first ReAction Figures released. In this wave we get four figures:

  • Ellen Ripley in Nostromo Spacesuit
  • Metallic Big Chap Alien
  • Kane with Facehugger
  • Kane with Chestburster

Toyark sponsor Entertainment Earth has supplied us with the figure, and we have a full gallery to check out. We have over 50 photos of the figures as well as a review.

Alien ReAction Series 2 Figures

Pros

  • Facehugger is fantastically sculpted
  • Better painted Big Chap Alien
  • Chestburster Kane looks wonderfully gruesome

Cons

  • Lots of loose joints
  • Lack of variety
  • Riply’s hand is assembled wrong

Overall
I was a big fan of the first series of Alien Reaction Figures. Getting a piece of history combined with a fantastic license was a real treat. The fact that it spawned a massive set of ReAction Figure releases which, according to Funko, are doing well, was even better. I was both happy and a little disappointed with Alien Series 2. Funko made some smart business decisions with this wave, but there feels like a few missed opportunities.

Let’s start with the good. This wave gives us a few figures from very icon moments in the film, namely the Kane figures. The included Facehugger is really sculpted beautifully. It even works with the Nostromo Suit Kane. The chestburster Kane has a few nice touches as well. The blood splatter is great, and the closed eyes were a nice touch. The Metallic Big Chap is a better use of the mold. The paints look great, and the skull paint apps really shine through the clear plastic headpiece. The Ripley, while mostly a repaint of from the Series 1 Kane figure, has a nice touch with the helmet, as there is not flashlight attachment to give it some variety compared to the wave 1 suit.

The wave is a bit of a disappointment, though. These are all variations of characters from the first wave. It was also a bit of a head scratcher to include two versions of Kane in this wave. Splitting one of those out to a third wave, and giving us a Parker, Lambert or Brett figure would have been ideal. there’s a lot of mold re-usage, which was to be expected. Also bothersome was the fact that a few of the figures had fairly loose joints right out of the package. Ripley was especially troublesome with a loose arm, two loose legs and a hand that was assembled incorrectly.

For me, it was a mixed bag. While, on their own, the figures are really nice, as a whole it felt like a bit of a miss. Having a second series comprised of all previously released characters, and two of the same character, is a letdown. On the positive, the Big Chap is an improvement over the first release, and the Kane figures, on their own, are quite cool.

Check out a few selected photos below, and all 55 photos after that.

    Great review and pics. I'm looking forward to getting these. I agree though that there should have been a bit more variety in the line. Even a Jonesy packed in with one of the figures would have been welcome.

    Thanks! A Jonsey would have been awesome. Even a cat carrying case with the Ripley would have been welcome. The well done Facehugger proved to me they can do cool add-ons.

    Rejoice! NECA is giving us two Jonesy figures next year! A Reaction one would be neat too for this line's fans.

    I love how peaceful Kane looks with the chestburster coming out of him. Both the Kanes are a must have

    This is a great gallery and a great review, thanks! My preorder for these shipped from BBTS a few days ago. I can't wait for them to get here. But I do share most of the same thoughts in terms of being excited about this wave on one hand and being mildly disappointed on the other. I just hope we see future waves with the characters we're missing, and I'm also hoping to see a few waves from Aliens as well, assuming they can get the rights to that film as well.

    On a positive note I received mine last week and Ripley's hand was assembled correctly and I did not have any loose joints whatsoever. So probably just another case of sporadic quality control. Overall I was very pleased with the assortment and they look great on the shelf with the rest of the figures.

    Glad that the ones I got may be the exception rather than the rule with this series. Debating an what to do with my Ripley. Not sure if I want to attempt to fix it myself or just grab a second one when I see it.
