That is awesome, but I gotta draw the line.

Especially if I'm shopping with Waller at CVI.

Super 7 gets retro with vintage Kenner 3 3/4″ Alien

For those of us who remember in pain the cancelled Kenner 3 3/4″ figures from the original 1979 Alien, Super 7 has answered our prayers!!!! Set to be released next year, Super 7 has access to the original prototypes!

This is the best news I've heard all year. I've wanted these for what seems like a lifetime, wait, it has been a lifetime!

I just hope that they do this line justice. Here's the official press release from Super 7:

YES!!! I'm a huge PW fan and got my daughter hooked. I did the same as you only I bought a huge lot of loose figures and let her play with them. My personal set is still MOC/MIB until I get my own playroom and then I'm busting open the Playhouse and all the figures. The only things I'll keep boxed are my big talking Pee-wee, big Chairry and Pterri.

I´m looking for the original stretch armstrong.

my first action figure, along with the best (in my opinion of course) 3 3/4" action figure.

Damn, these guys are my new heroes

Holy ____! Just saw pictures of a new series of figures done by the Four Horsemen called The Outer Space Men.

 

[Nintenjoe]

Not really digging the figures but the card presentation is awesome.

Stretch X-ray FTW.


How has the material aged?
Is it still stretchy?

And I dug around some more on the Internet and found out this isn't their first releases. Plus they're based on some figures from the 60s.

answer.
1.- this figure has lasted about 34 years only using body cream as maintence.
2.-yes it is.

thanks man, but I´m still looking for the classic stretch.

That is amazing it's lasted so long. I don't think I've ever seen a Stretch in person that looked half as good as that. And I love the packaging!

I have to say we all need to be on these No Doubt !

 

[choopie]

Those Alien figures are a must have. That's awesome news! They'll go great with my vintage Alien puzzle I picked up at an antique show a few months ago.

A nice $300 visa gift card has go me down to needing just 1 1/2 figures to have all the basic figures. I think I got super lucky to score Bluesnags and Yak Face for around $220 shipped. Now I just need A-wing pilot (when did he get so expensive) and the Carbonite block for Han. Then I can really concentrate on getting last 4 R2-D2 carded figures I want (ESB non sensorscope, Tri logo pop-up, Potf , and driods). Those are going to take a while.

 

[galactiboy]

Keep up the good work mfoga, and I agree... $220 shipped for Yak and Blue Snags is great

Here's the Pee Wee figures I got recently purchased... the Conky is actually the same one I've had since I was a kid, the rest are more recent pick-ups. I decided against collecting the human characters, so this set is complete for me.

 

[karamazov80]

Awesome GB. I would like to have those, though I know they would just sit in a box sadly. They were very well done figures IMO.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, for the time and the audience they're pretty decent little figures. Pretty cheap too especially after NECA re-released the whole set awhile back.

 

[karamazov80]

I mean, the likenesses of the non-human characters are pretty spot on. That was unheard of back in those days

Globie was always one of my favorites. He had a great voice and delivery. "That's over here, Pee-Wee!"
