Super7 & Funko expanded their ALIEN ReAction figure line to include ALIENS with the release of this terrific 3 pack, featuring the Queen Alien, the power loader and Ellen  Ripley; all in retro themed sculpts and window package.

This trio now resides on their very own dedicated page on HIDEOUS PLASTIC.

I hope everyone has had as healthy and happy Christmas as can be. This has been a year of turmoil on many fronts. I am hoping conditions around the World can improve next year. Just about everyone I know is eager to leave 2020 well enough behind them.

Except for maybe my neighbour across the road. They brought a child into the world late this year. At least some Joy has come from 2020.

You just have to look for it.

The ALIEN ReAction figure Carry Case and its exclusive glow in the dark Alien inclusion has been added to HIDEOUS PLASTIC’s growing list of 3.75 inch space monstery goodness Super7 have released this past decade. It’s a pretty blue box with a pair of beige trays inside to help store your pocket sized space monsters. The entry is now complete.

Now that I think of it, that’s something worth pondering. If a luminous toy is stuck inside a sealed box where no one can see it, does it still glow in the dark?

Wave 2 of Super7’s ALIEN ReAction figures have been added to HIDEOUS PLASTIC. This black card set of four figures now has it’s own dedicated page.

Creating a visual documentation of all of Super7’s ALIEN and ALIENS ReAction figures is a goal I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. There’s a lot to list and the very much ‘work in progress’ landing page with all the links to already completed items now functional. More is being added as the multiple “PLACEHOLDER” graphics attest to. Eventually, this list will be complete sometime early next year. Not that that’s a long way away, now.

Play Sets are great. While they can be many things, they typically take the form of a themed stage for acting out scenarios with your toys. Super7 and Funko released such a fun play set for their ALIEN ReAction line of action figures in 2014.The ALIEN ReAction figure play set was inspired by Kane’s discovery of the egg chamber within the derelict spacecraft as seen in ALIEN. The spooky ambience of the HR Giger designed environment is captured in corrugated card and resin/plastic and emulates similar such products made late last century with an immaculate retro presentation. Perfect for the eight year old in your life to experience first hand the joy of exploring this iconic locale in the movie; where they can be accosted by an extraterrestrial parasitoid organism that lays a growing Alien embryo in their chest cavity. Great stuff!

Continuing our expanding investigation of Super7’s ALIEN ReAction figures, today I have added the San Diego Comic Con 2014 “Deep Space Mystery Egg” set of eight figures to the section dedicated to all things ReActionary and ALIEN.Being exclusively available at SDCC 2014 makes them ephemeral at best and their random, very limited nature makes some of them extremely difficult to acquire now. They now have a permanent place here on HIDEOUS PLASTIC.

Here’s the rundown in clear black and white on what these translucent space oddities actually are.

All five items comprising Wave 1 of Super7’s ALIEN ReAction figure line released in 2013 has been added to HIDEOUS PLASTIC. This is the first black card set featuring Ripley, Dallas, Kane, Ash and only one version of the Alien itself.This is the fourth page (of an expected minimum of twenty pages) to explore Super7’s ALIEN ReAction figure product line on this site. I’ll be adding a handy landing page soon making all of these entries quick to find and easy to use on a single location on this blog. I’ll add that sometime this weekend or maybe early next week. We shall see. Nonetheless, it is coming. In the meantime, a placeholder graphic has been placed on the sidebar where you can expect to easily find links to all ALIEN ReAction figure content I am adding.

Making progress on adding Super7’s ALIEN ReAction figures to HIDEOUS PLASTIC means today a page dedicated to the blue card pre-order figures has been added. This set of figures was only available to attendees at San Diego Comic Con via purchase of the Early Bird Package from the Super7 booth in 2013. Six figures comprise this Wave setting the shape of things to come from Super7. For me, that means another seventeen pages worth of content yet to add. At this rate – at about one page every two or three days – I should be finished sometime in the New Year. Not that that’s a long way off, mind you.
