Super7 Teases More Alien ReAction at SDCC

What's in the box? Nobody knows!  Super7 (not Funko) teased 3 buyable things - which will probably sell out in the first 20 minutes at the show.  This post teases some sort of egg-shaped thing, the box to the left (a playset?), and a totally blacked-out mystery box.

Seeing as Super7's exclusives so far have been a clear grey Alien as well as prototype blue Alien and Kane figures, it would stand to reason new deco could be a likely candidate for these sets - maybe even test shots of the remaining figures, or test shots for next year's new molds for Alien.  Who knows? Let's hope they make a bunch because I'll be sad if I miss them!

Funko Confirms SDCC Exclusive B&W Rocketeer ReAction Figure

Funko has many exclusives every year, and this year they're starting to tease out announcements.  It's hard to see but there's a Black & White Rocketeer sitting up there as one of their 2014 offerings - more ReAction figures are coming, but who?  We'll see soon!

Review: Super7 x Funko The Rocketeer ReAction Rocketeer Action Figure

In the early 1990s and late 1980s I was utterly obsessed with Star Wars Kenner figures, so when The Rocketeer hit theaters the format made sense to me as a toy. Of course, the world moved on since 1985 and the 5-jointed 3 3/4-inch Kenner style is a strange choice for this Rocketeer figure. In 1991, we saw G.I. Joe begin its descent, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the rise, and it seemed the favored format for the mid 1980s to the late 1990s was the 5-joint 5-inch figure in Kenner's post-Star Wars style. It's strange to say this, but in many respects this figure (and indeed the future of ReAction) is marketed to guys who were big in to that old Kenner Star Wars line, like me. If you've got a Death Star Droid in your closet in a shoebox or a pile of yellowed Snowtroopers, this is a worthwhile purchase. It's a very satisfying, if simple, chunk of plastic.

Review: Zica Toys Six Million Dollar Man Bionic Bigfoot

The Bionic Bigfoot was a figure I got to see a little before the general public and my immediate reaction was "I gotta have that." This was before word got out about all the ReAction stuff - I'm trying to remember how long ago it was, but I'm drawing a blank here. It looked like something I would ask my parents for as a kid and not get - and now I can have it! And I got it. It's cool.

Zica Toys Bringing Back Captain Action, Real American Hero-Style

While not Kenner-style, Zica Toys announced Captain Action will be made in 1980s G.I. Joe style - a great idea in terms of setting their figures apart, and an interesting choice given the older-skewing nature of the property.

Here's a choice quote from Zica via Facebook:
"They won't have O-rings but the articulation will be the same."

Well! There's a great new addition for the Joe fans, and it's a pretty good sibling to Joe given that brand's scale change over the years.
