While the attempted relaunch of The Predator franchise didn’t quite resonate with fans or movie goers, the film did provide all new Predator designs for collectors and fans. The Fugitive Predator was the focus of the marketing, but the most dangerous creature in the film was the “Ultimate” Predator, who is also known as the Armored Assassin Predator. In the film, it’s concluded that the Yautja have been split into rival factions. The majority opting for genetic experimentation, taking on the strongest traits of the prey they hunt. While the others feel this is against their code. The Fugitive Predator heads to Earth, in the hopes of bringing a “gift” to mankind that will even the odds against the upgraded Predators looking to take the planet from humanity. The Assassin Predator is larger, stronger, faster and more resistant to attacks.

Our friends at NECA have sent over the Armored Assassin Predator figure for us to check out. The figure is set to hit stores within the next week or so (if it hasn’t shown up already). We have a full photo shoot and review. Check them out after the jump.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Alien. The sci-fi horror film was directed by Ridley Scott and written by Dan O’Bannon. Alien is a film that has aged beautifully, with stunning futuristic set designs, and iconic creature designs by artist H.R. Giger. A franchise was spawned, when director James Cameron brought Aliens to the screen in 1986. Every bit as riveting as the original, Aliens swapped out horror for action, and expanded the mythology in fantastic ways. The film franchise has taken some strange twists and turns in the years since, never quite recapturing the magic of the original two films.

While the the film franchise has had its ups and downs, there have been some outstanding expansions of the lore from comic books, novels, video games, and numerous toy lines. Thanks to ever advancing production capabilities, and talented creators, the market for collectibles has never been stronger. The variety of licensed products for Alien is staggering. From action figures, prop replicas, statues, and vinyl figures, there are items available for nearly any budget.

For the past four years, April 26th has been celebrated as “Alien Day”. Using the date 4/26 to call back to LV-426, the planet the Aliens were first encountered, Alien Day  has always given fans something to celebrate. Product makers have used the day to either preview upcoming collectibles, or to launch specialized or exclusive items. Alien Day 2019 is no different. I’ve rounded up a listing of many of the items you can purchase today, as well as new announcements or previews. If it’s from something we don’t normally cover, you’ll find it here, but we’ll also be sharing any relevant statue or action figure news throughout the day as they are announced. Wherever possible, I have also included Alien Day sales that may be going on for product makers or our sponsors. After the jump, check out what is or will be available today, and check back as we will update if and when more items are revealed.

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!
