New Old Figures

Post by Thundershot »

Hi guys
Looks like ReAction Figures will be producing more of those retro 3 3/4" Kenner style figures,
including Snake Plissken and characters from the original Predator & Terminator movies.

BTW do you purchase from these guys already T-shot? (or anyone else reading this)

If so, are they reasonable on shipping to the UK?

These look great.
They've really nailed the vintage style.
Can't wait to see Buffy/angel, Serenity and pulp fiction figs.

I'm adding them to my site at some point this weekend. The Alien figures sold really well and looked fantastic so I can't wait to see these.

Sweet Baby Moses, you are going to be selling them here from the UK...? Right then, I'm buying these through you AFS :)

Would you mind keeping us informed of when you are getting them in stock?

Personally, I'm setting up a tent right here in the forum and camping out overnight before the release day :) I want to be first in the queue when AFS's doors open for a Snake Plissken figure (I thought he was dead btw....?)

I think these are a missed opportunity as they are a little too dumbed down. The Rockateer looks to be the pick of the bunch.

That's the point though, they're 1970s style figures. Simple articulation and Kenner like sculpting. The Alien figures were based on actual Kenner prototypes that got binned in the late 70s.

I agree the Rocketeer looks the best to me too. Removable helmet and backpack too :)

I understand that they're meant to be a throwback but I think they're too dumbed down. They look even more basic than vintage Star Wars, Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon etc. The Aliens figures look to be far better than the rest.
