Alien Reaction Figure 2-Pack

Super7 tracked down a retired toy sales representative who had a storage unit filled with old catalogs and toys from the 1970s, including a most amazing find:  cases of “ALIEN SALES SAMPLES” designated for 1979’s Toy Fair!   Each package contains two figures – the ALIEN (Big Chap) and KANE (in Nostromo Space Suit) -  in unpainted “test shot” blue plastic.  These samples were intended for distribution to wholesale buyers looking for the “next big space movie” product in the 3 ¾” scale.   Ultimately, the line was cancelled –as shown by the large red stamp on the box and enclosed letter to the sales staff – and these samples never were taken to the trade show.

Okay, full disclaimer: These two-packs are brand new and we are joking about “discovering” them.  As far as we have been able to ascertain, ALIEN figures were never displayed at any toy show or event, which made us wonder what really happened behind the scenes.   Taking that curiosity further, we decided to create “the sales samples that never existed” and turn it into fun collectible…and a great way to kick off the ReAction Figure series!
Super7 will bring a limited quantity of the “Discovered Sales Samples” with five points of articulation, extendable inner jaws, removable clear dome, removable clear space helmet.
