MemberOvomorphAug-04-2012 12:26 PMA company called ReAction is going to produce a line of 3 3/4 inch Alien toys that Kenner was planning to release in 1979.The entire project got derailed after parent groups complained of the large Alien creature toy that was already on the market.They're also talking about producing The Nostromo playset that was supposed to be released in 1979 as well.Collectors rejoice :)
Here's some pics.The pics were dated Thursday,July 12,2012.

MemberFacehuggerAug-04-2012 12:30 PMThis is excellent news! Many thanks for the heads up. I've been trying to get hold of the black resin copies of some of these for quite some time but are not easy to come by.

MemberOvomorphAug-04-2012 12:44 PM@ xeno_alpha_07: I researched these figures and your right.There are bootleg copies out there BUT the bootlegs cast from the originals are said to be extremely rare.
@ Susano: I think Kane looks cool too.Maybe they can use some modern tech and use an LED to light up his helmet headlight...but I guess that would be cheating...there SUPPOSED to be retro :)

Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.
