Super7 ALIENS Warrior Gallery Updated.

Super7’s new 18 inch ‘Classic Toy Edition’ ALIENS Warrior is now available from their online site.  I’ve added 45 images of the figure to its HIDEOUS PLASTIC Gallery page.  Check it out.

The additions to the Gallery are the first of an extensive 3 part coverage of the figure I am engaging in.  Tomorrow I will be writing and posting the product review. In the days following that, I’ll also be writing up a comprehensive comparison of Super7’s new figure with the original Kenner toy.  So there’s a ton of stuff yet to come in regards to this newly released member of the Kenner ALIEN action figure family.

Don’t forget to check out the rest of the Gallery for images of the original Kenner figure and it’s derivatives.   There’s so much stuff tucked away in there, you’ll be surprised at it all.

Just like all the items appearing in the Gallery, this figure will also feature in the book HIDEOUS PLASTIC – In stores everyone can hear you scream. A Kickstarter campaign is currently active for this Project. Please support this amazing and unique Project.

Thank you,

SPOTLIGHT: 2016 Super7 Faux 1986 Prototype Alien.

Super7 have just started shipping their new Kenner inspired 1986 ALIENS Warrior figure. It’s fitting then that this Spotlight should be cast upon its odd predecessor which was released last year. 

This item is a genuine curiosity.  It goes beyond representing any speculation on Super7’s part of what Kenner may have produced had they possessed the licence to make toys based on the 1986 movie, ALIENS.  This limited edition figure is intended to Continue reading

Super7 ALIENS Warrior is Now Available.

Super7’s speculative ‘Classic Toy Edition’ ALIENS Warrior action figure is now available from their web store.

At US$195 (plus postage) this is a pricey figure but keep in mind it is at least 18 inches tall and quite possibly closer to 19.  This is a tribute item that repurposes the original Kenner ALIEN figure and proposes what such a figure would have been like if Kenner’s original Continue reading

Super 7 Posts Comparison Photos of their 1986 ‘Classic Toy’ Edition.

Super 7 recently announced pre-orders were open for their new Kenner derived ALIENS Warrior.  Now they have posted a series of images that compare the original Kenner figure with their new iteration dubbed ‘Classic Toy’.  This new version is one of two that Super 7 plans to release – and I suspect won’t be the last either.

Here’s what Super 7 have to say about their new upcoming homage/alternative version of Continue reading

Super 7 Teases Release Date for Kenner Inspired 1986 ALIENS Warriors.

Super 7 have released this image of their upcoming 18″ ALIENS action figure derived from the 1979 Kenner action figure. This image teases the release date: 1 March, 2017.

Super 7 intend to release a pair of variants of this figure.   A ‘Classic Toy’ finish in flat black with glow in the dark highlights and another, ‘Marine Ambush’, in a brushed copper finish is expected to be available as well.  Very soon, by the looks of it.  You can’t get Continue reading

Toy Fair 2017: My Personal Favorite so far.

There’s a ton of News regarding ALIEN action figures and toys coming out of Toy Fair 2017 and honestly, it’s a bit much.  So far, my favorite items are the pair of Kenner inspired Super 7 1986 ALIENS Warriors.  These items immediately elevated themselves to the top of  my ‘must have list’.

The important thing is the details on the display card front and center between both figures Continue reading

Toy Fair 2017: Super 7 ALIENS M.U.S.C.L.E. Toys.

Following up on their earlier range of diminutive ALIEN M.U.S.C.L.E. toys, Super 7 have revealed their new ALIENS range of bite size pliable rubbery merchandise at Toy Fair 2017.  Once again, there’s more images over at ToyArk.

I still don’t know what to make of these things.  They look like dog biscuits, to me.  I guess the family dog will get as much joy out of chewing on them as Junior will have playing with Continue reading

Toy Fair 2017: Super 7 ReAnimated Figures – ‘COMING SOON’!

I don’t know anything about these items just yet but they look to be a companion series to Super7’s extant range of ALIEN ReAction figures but given a more 21st Century treatment.

What we see here is a pair of Aliens, completely different from Super 7’s previous treatment of the character.   A totally fresh set of sculpts. The white figure is of Continue reading

Importantly, we’ll be seeing new characters represented in this line up. Brett, Parker and Lambert will all be released by the looks of it. All dressed in Nostromo crew gear.  It also Continue reading

Added: 2016 Super 7 Faux 1986 ALIENS Prototype Gallery.

I have added Super 7’s  very strange limited edition 1986 ALIENS prototype figure to the Gallery.  This odd figure released in 2016 is a worthy addition to a long history of odd action figures of varying reputation.

This is a fake prototype for an action figure that never existed and was never marketed for a movie which had no such movie tie-in products of this type in it’s day whatsoever.  It’s a speculative ‘what if’ figure inspired by Kenner Products original ALIEN had the company chosen to continue releasing ALIENS merchandise during the 1980’s.

Super 7 ALIEN ‘M.U.S.C.L.E.’ Toys Now Available.

Super 7’s diminutive set of 12 M.U.S.C.L.E. (Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere.) collectible ALIEN toys – or figures… I’m not sure what to call ’em, actually – are now available.  These small 1.75 inch tall figures (I’ll go with that) are unpainted and lack any articulation but are flexible (maybe I’ll call ’em toys after all).  Anyway, there’s a set of 12 divided into 4 distinct packs and the entire crew of the Continue reading
