Super7 Reveals ‘ALIEN Day’ Surprises
One of our favorite annual holiday’s is coming up this Friday with ‘ALIEN Day’! The holiday is made to celebrate the classic ‘ALIEN’ film franchise on April 26th, or 4/26, in honor of LV-426, which is the planet seen in the first two ‘ALIEN’ films. Super7 has been celebrating the ‘ALIEN’ brand for years, so it should come as no surprise to see them announcing some new ‘ALIEN Day’ exclusive collectibles! This years offerings come in the form of two new ‘ALIEN’ ReAction retro styled figures in special new colorways! Check the release from Super7 below!
“There are things so terrifying, they only exist in a nightmare… or outer space.”
Friday – 4/26 is Alien Day 2019 and to commemorate LV-426, Super7 will be dropping these exclusive Alien ReAction Figures: First is the terrifying Xenomorph in a clear glitter space blue with matching card back. Then there is the doomed Nostromo crew member Kane in a horrifying red with matching card back. Both of these figures and their card art were inspired by the awesome original 1979 Alien concept poster art by Bill Gold that was not used for the film’s release.
These will be available online in the Super7 webstore and at our San Francisco and San Diego stores. See you next Friday!
Hot Toys Is Going To Hell(Boy)
While his new movie may be tanking at the box office, Hellboy definitely still has his fans out there. It’s also hard to argue that even if people aren’t loving the new film, the character design looks truly badass, so it isn’t at all surprising to see Hot Toys throwing their hat into the proverbial Hellboy ring with an all new 1:6th scale Hellboy figure! The new Hot Toys Hellboy figure is based on the heroes appearance in his latest film, as portrayed by David Harbour (best known as Hopper on ‘Stranger Things’). The figure stands approximately 12.6″ tall and includes x2 pistols, an Excalibur sword, interchangeable long and short horns, a removable coat and t-shirt, a flame crown, and so much more! Check the full release info from Hot Toys below!
