Three new Mars Attacks ReAction Figures are now available directly from Super7. The 3.75″ scale figures are based on the classic trading cards that inspired the Tim Burton film. The three figures include a Martian, a Martian destroying a dog, and a human with burning flesh. The figures are priced at $18 each. You can order them at the link below. See the new photos after the jump.
Based on the controversial 1962 Mars Attacks trading card series, these Mars Attacks ReAction Figures hearken back to the story considered so shocking it got the cards pulled from the shelves!
This wave includes two versions of the Martian with different facial expressions and arm positions, so you can recreate the iconic moments featured in the trading cards!
These ReAction Figures are your chance to reclaim a piece of the forbidden fruit that is Mars Attacks!
Mars Attacks ReAction Figures Available Now from Super7
Why were the trading cards controversial?
I remember getting a Destroying a Dog t-shirt in the 90's in Las Vegas somewhere lol. I never got cards or the reprints, but loved the imagery of this, and absolutely loved the Dinosaurs Attack card line from the 80's. I'll probably get the 2 martians.
I'm honestly surprised that they're including an injured dog. I'm more disgusted by the wounded dog than the flayed human lmao
I've been trying to focus the collection recently, and ReActions don't make the cut anymore (I even passed on Hasbro's Mandalorian Retro wave)... but these! I'm keen on all three.
Human burned alive = okay.
Dog burned alive = disturbing.
Reminds me of someone I knew who didn't like the Resident Evil movies because of the zombie dog parts.
Anyway, it seems like the proportions of the Martians are off from the cards, which may not have been that consistent, but the martians seems slender with huge heads and often had expressionless eyes, not scowling ones. Somehow that made them creepier than later depictions.
hokey smokes.
I think I might still have a couple of Martians from Trendmasters' movie line.
Dog burned alive = disturbing.
These ReAction figs look pretty cool...
Tho, I like the Trendmasters figs (various) better...
And, Especially the RayGuns...
Huh - this may sound laughable but I never knew about the trading cards, only the movie. I knew about the gruesome dinosaur cards strangely enough but I didn’t know Mars Attacks originally had these too.
But animals are innocent to me. They don’t deserve this, neither real nor fictional. Like, I'm not mad at the image on the card or the figure that is based on it, but it does disgust me more than seeing a human getting blasted to shreds.
