ReAction: Alien, Kane

Kane

Kane is part of the first line of the new Reaction figures from Funko and Super 7, they are 3 3/4 inch "Kenner" style figures with five points of articulation (the Alien has six). 






 The Nostromo space suit is very detailed and movie accurate.




 The figure stands well and looks impressive. 




 "It looks like some kind of secreted resin." Yes i know but, well.




 That entrance kind of reminds me of something...




 Considering the scale of the figure he does look rather accurate.



"Hang on, i'm just going to put my face up to one of these creepy pulsating egg like canisters!"



 I really like the space suit.



 I would like to get a cheap plastic "playset" or simply a back drop for them to stand in front of.



 The crew reunion.



 The suit is so detailed he really looks at home exploring another planet.


The helmet is clear and can be removed.



 The head sculpt is alright.



I think they did an awesome job modeling this figure.



 The figure stands about 4" tall and only comes with his helmet.



He can hold the other figures accessory's.

ReAction News: The Terminator

The Terminator

Funko and Super 7 are releasing figures for the ReAction line based on the movie franchise The Terminator.
The ReAction line creates
3 ¾” figures in a retro "Kenner" 5POA style.
 The Terminator movie was released in 1984 is a science fiction action movie.

 Is that supposed to be Arnold Schwarzenegger? It looks good enough i suppose.

 
 Looks cool has two guns.


The endoskeleton looks very cool it reminds me of my old Star Wars Kenner 8D8 figure.


A metalic chrome version of the endoskeleton looks cool, i wish they were named differently for ease of buying online.

 Look at that hair! Awesome. Though she needs an accessory.



Cloth coat looks pretty. Facial sculpt doesn't look too bad as well.


Opinions:

This line looks very nice, i may have an issue getting these unnamed variants though.

Released: 

August 2014 

 

 

8D8 Kenner Star Wars figure

Just for reference




ReAction News: Goonies

The Goonies


Funko and Super 7 are releasing figures for the ReAction line based on the movie The Goonies.
The ReAction line creates
3 ¾” figures in a retro "Kenner" 5POA style.



The Goonies is a action adventure  movie released in 1985 where a group of childhood friends seek out one eyed willy the pirates treasure.

 Chunk looks pretty cool, i love the chocolate bar accessory, but maybe he could be a little plumper? Also interesting they went from a "Hawaiian shirt" to a black one, though at this scale it may have been to intricate a design.



I really like this figure and all the gadgets, the coat is an odd colour though.




A cool figure, if a little bland compared to some of the others. The accessory looks awesome.


This figure probably looks like the actor the most, its odd that the colours of the clothing are off from the picture, perhaps as they had to do it with Chunk they decided to do it with all of them so Chunk didn't look out of place...


Awesome to have a Sloth, i do hope the kids are short and Sloth is at least a full sized figure. From memory he towered above them. I love and adore that pirate hat!

Opinion:

I really like this line, though if the scale is wrong, Kids adult height or same size as Sloth i wont feel the same. I think part of the awesome of Reaction is that all these different licenses are in the same scale and style.

Release:

August 2014

ReAction news: Escape from New York

Snake Plissken


Funko and Super 7 are releasing two figures for the ReAction line based on the movie Escape from New York.
The ReAction line creates
3 ¾” figures in a retro "Kenner" 5POA style.



Escape from New York is a sort of sci-fi action movie released in 1981 set in the far flung future of 1997.

This version of snake has a black singlet.



This version of snake has on a jacket. 


Opinion:
While the figures both look cool, I am not so sure i "need" to versions of the same character that are so similar.



Release:

August 2014

Reaction: Dallas figure

Dallas


Dallas is the cool Captain of the  Nostromo


He is the 3rd figure in the Funko and Super 7's 3.75" collectable retro figure line. 
 


The figure has 5 points of articulation, legs, arms at the shoulder and head.

He comes with a flamethrower accessory, the same weapon as Ripley.



The jacket back printing is very cool.



The shoes are insanely detailed.



The jacket is nicely detailed and is different from Ripley s.



The likeness isn't the best but is passable. 


The line looks good so far.



Ripley and Dallas take a romantic stroll down to the hanger.



Captain Dallas all around cool dude.



Stay out of the vents Dallas.



 They had the strange feeling they were not along, poor Alien felt like a third wheel.



Dallas didnt quite seem like his usual self.
