[Toy Fair ’17] Super 7 Unveils New Wave of ‘Alien’ ReAction Figures Including Jonesy!

Published

on

The retro-style ReAction Figures line all began with a wave of Alien toys that the company Super 7 literally unearthed from the past. To make a long story short, the figures were based on prototypes of Alien toys that Kenner never ended up releasing back in 1979; the line was soon picked by Funko, who expanded heavily upon it by depicting other movie characters in the style.

Now, the rights to the line have returned to Super 7, and we’re happy to report that they’re making more Alien ReAction Figures. As shown by Toyark out of Toy Fair, the third wave will include screen-accurate versions of Ripley, Dallas, and Ash, who were all previously available in the line, along with brand new characters Brett, Parker, Lambert and yes, even the cat Jonesy!

The figure of Ash features a removable head, making it extra special.

Super 7 also showed off various other upcoming Alien collectibles, including the tease of a new line titled ReAnimated Figures. You can check out all the goodies below.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
