[Toy Fair ’14] ReAction Adds ‘Hellraiser,’ ‘Halloween,’ The Crow,’ ‘Trick ‘r Treat’ and More!
Action figure company Super 7 has already put a giant hole in my wallet with their brilliant and award-worthy release of their ReAction 3-3/4″ Alien figure line, based on original unused 1979 prototypes (they are now available at special retailers).
With the success of their first line, they’re using the upcoming New York Toy Fair to promote the next phase in ReAction retro figures. Already for pre-order on Entertainment Earth are retro versions of characters from Terminator, Predator, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Nightmare Before Christmas, Back to the Future, Escape From New York and many more!
They’ve also acquired the rights to the Universal Monsters, which could include Creature from the Black Lagoon, Frankenstein’s Monster and his Bride, Dracula, the Mummy, the Wolf Man, the Phantom of the Opera, and the Invisible Man.
Each figure is stylized exactly as items from the “golden age” of action figures with approximately five points of articulation, accessories, and period-authentic blister card packaging.
Other figures revealed Sunday include Pinhead from Hellraiser, invisible Predator, The Crow, Michael Myers from Halloween, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” Ghostface from Scream, Sam from Trick ‘r Treat and more!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
