    I wonder how Kenner initially thought there was a market for action figures for a rather grim, R-rated (that was quite intense by 1970's and early 80's standards), horror (albeit science fiction) movie.
    My guess is, they probably didn't know what they were getting themselves into. They had a big hit with Star Wars and wanted to jump on the next Sci-Fi blockbuster. Which, unfortunately for them, turned out to be an R rated very un kid friendly violent gore-fest. It was a different time and I think we can admit that had the 3 3/4 inch figures actually been released they would have bombed. As collectable as it is now, the big Kenner Alien sold very poorly when it was released and was on discount for years.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

            Sadly it looks like the blisters will have to be cut to get the figures out. I wanted to play with them!

              I only ordered the Alien, and I bought two so I could keep one packaged, and open the other one to battle Bionic Bigfoot.

                  I am so giddy over this, and I check every thread often for updates, but...

                  I'm thinking of going on blackout mode until Christmas Morning. I'd like to open them and be surprised at the identity of the sixth figure, rather than just read about it on the internet.

                    Shall we speculate the identity of the sixth figure?

                    I think it will Dallas in the space suit.

                    The kid in me wants it to be a Kane with chestburster action.

                      I missed the super 7 preorder for these and am dreading the scalping for the mystery figure.
                      If anybody here ends up with an extra (ha!), I'll swap a bbp dalek for it.

                        I love those glasses. As soon as I am not broke, I am grabbing them.

                          Yes, I too think Dallas in Spacesuit would be the logical 6th figure. And with that, I will not return to this thread until after I receive mine, so as not to spoil the surprise.

                            Just got an e-mail that mine are shipping soon.

                            I ordered a set and a couple of extra Aliens from Fantastic Plastic.

                              Just got mine today! I haven't opened them yet, was planning on waiting, but I may open them now.

                              It seems the contents is actually printed on the box, so if you want to be surprised, don't look at the box.
