ALIEN ReAction 3 3/4 inch Figures (based on Kenner Prototypes)

Cool figures, but $20 each!? That just took the wind out of my sails. Maybe we can get all 5 for a discounted price.

Really? We should be so lucky to even have these taken from the original Kenner designs. I'll happily pay that much for these lost vintage grails.

Market for these has got to be pretty small. They have to try and turn a profit. I don't want em, but happy for all those that do.

There's really no point comparing these to the NECA figures because they are totally different products marketed to very different collectors. There'll be far fewer of Super7's figures made, which increases the unit cost. I think they look great, and $20 is actually cheaper than I was expecting considering the price of Super7's other toys. Japanese vinyl figures are made by hand in very small numbers, but don't have much in the way of packaging when compared to factory made figures on full backer cards with bubbles.

Pretty sure I'll end up needing more than one Xeno though, because it looks great. I love hot it's kind of like a mini version of the Kenner 18", complete with extending jaw and glow in the dark skull!

I really dig these, but $20? These should go for $15 tops. Will comic shops carry these because an online shipping charge on top of that $20 would be ridiculous.

Having that said, they look kickass. If by some miracle I have money left over after buying everything else on my want list... I'll likely pick them up.

15? these should be 9 tops, and that's pushing it.
Nostolgia or no, but 5 PoA is not a 20$ toy. period.

I see how Super 7 can try to justify the price...a small specialty company selling what they probably consider to be a novelty item and not a toy. They aren't NECA or Hasbro. And if NECA figures are $15 I can see how these would be more expensive. I guess I just wasn't expecting them to be this pricey.

The price point is ridiculous.

Is it though? I mean 3.75" figures are $10 at retail. 10 more bucks for these little grails is worth it to me.

Yeah, but even if they are off the original designs, it's not like they're were actually made in 1979. Maybe if they were $12 of $15 I'd feel better about buying them...but I'm not paying $100 for 5 new figures. And how do they justify $50 for the glasses?

Then again, I don't understand people paying $75 for those Gentle Giant jumbo Star Wars figures.

$20 = pass!

The figures aren't available for order yet but Super7 are having a special now where if you order anything from their website they'll include the Alien catalog for free.

Also, does anyone have any details on the other company that's supposed to be re-releasing the big old Kenner Alien? The company name or any details?

Those are really cute, but I can't justify the price for something that is just a novelty item...

I'm pretty sure at least the glasses hold water and work as glasses though

 

[abake]

Good point!

Everything we buy as collectors are novelty items.

 

[the angry orc]

I think the figures look pretty cool. Might pick up the set.

 

[crazypredator2]

an easy pass at those prices,seems even toy companies have become scalpers these days.

 

[DarthDiggler]

I'm all over these Alien toys as well as the glasses set.

Hot Toys and such have made me immune to high priced "novelty items".

Too bad my wallet isn't.

 

[Star Puffs]

OMG I just saw these!!! The figures, glasses...must have.
