This set of six characters was released four months after Super7’s set of 3 ALIENS “Night Series” Wave 1 ALIENS ReAction figures. The complete set of six figures comprises what is considered to be Waves 2&3 in this range. Wave 2 consists of non-military characters, Ripley, Newt and Bishop; while Wave 3 consists of United States Colonial Marines personnel Corporal Hicks, Private Hudson and Private Vasquez. Both Waves were released simultaneously with only common images on cards defining the content of each.
All characters feature screen specific accessories except for Bishop. In lieu of any accessories, Bishop boasts a “pull apart” action feature emulating the damage the Queen Alien inflicts upon him.

Additional Notes:
– Aside from Ripley, this set of figures is the first release of any of these characters in ReAction figure format.
– While Ripley had previously been included with the Queen Alien and power loader in the 2016 ALIENS ReAction figure 3 pack, the version included with this set is a completely fresh sculpt.
– The version of Ripley included in this set is slightly taller but generally less detailed than the previous 3 pack release.
– Corporal Hicks and Private Hudson both have 2 accessories, each. More than one accessory on a ReAction figure is rare.
– Newt’s “Casey” accessory has no face painted on it.
– 2 different card fronts are used. One design for each Wave of figures.
– Card backs are all alike across waves 2&3.
– Vasquez actually does look like a man. Yeah. She really does. Especially from behind.
