Super7 to Release 1979 Alien Action Figures.

[PGowdy]

A company called Super7 is planning to release a set of Alien (The Movie) figures originally produced in 1979 but never got released.

"In 1979, prototypes for 3 ¾" action figures for the ALIEN film were developed but never manufactured. Through our network of industry and collector contacts, Super7 has unearthed reference material and original 34-year-old prototypes and will now make these "lost toys" a reality.

Under authorization from 20th Century Fox, Super7 will produce the full series of ALIEN toys as part of our ReAction Figure Series (Retro-Action). Each is stylized exactly as items from the "golden age" of action figures with approximately five points of articulation, accessories, and period-authentic blister card packaging. "

OK this is quite cool but who thinks Disney, Hasbro and others will be keeping an eye on the subsequent sales? Is there a possibility that other moulds from the past might get dusted off and we see 'original' re-releases of other toys from the 80's, never made or otherwise? Actually would anyone mind?

All the prototypes and molds from the 80s are in private collections, and they denied Super 7 access to them from what I can remember.
These were made from 90s prototypes if I'm not mistaken.
