Comic Con toy report: Old School Alien!

In 1979, Kenner was planning on making 3 & 3/4" Alien figures, as they'd been doing with the phenomenally popular Star Wars line. All they ever released was a 12" figure of the Alien itself and nixed the figure line. Photos of the prototypes Kenner made found their way out and fans have longed for this unproduced line ever since.

Super 7 announced at Comic Con that they've got ahold of the original prototypes and will use them to make these lost toys a reality!

They will be retro accurate with 5 points of articulation and come packed with accessories on blister card packaging. Clunky looking? Yes. But incredibly cool! Ripley, Dallas, Ash, Kane in spacesuit and the Alien itself. They're also producing retro-style Alien glassware, like the kind that used to hit Burger King back in the day.

Now if only someone would make that unproduced Jordan family tractor that was set to be part of Galoob's Micromachines line...
