WHOA!!!!!
Super7 just announced that they have partnered with
Funko to produce the Alien ReAction figures with them. That means the overall cost per figure will be cheaper going to $14.95 per figure instead of $19.95 which was the original price. The best part is that if you already Pre-ordered with Super7, you will get an additional 6th Mystery figure.
So the set will now cost $75 for those who have not pre-ordered. It also means you will not be getting the 6th Mystery figure.

"Funko™ and Super7™ are excited to announce a new strategic partnership to debut and extend the ReAction Figure™ 3 3/4″ line..
One of the most unique and highly anticipated toys of San Diego
Comic-Con 2013 was the pre-order and launch of Super7′s™ ReAction
Figures™ Alien™ line. From the “Lost Prototype” 2-pack and Early Bird
Kit to the the full reveal of the final Alien™ ReAction figures™ , the
collector community was in a frenzied state over this new “retro style”
look of toys within the action figure community. At the same time,
Funko’s™ continued growth and expanding product line made it’s San Diego
Comic-Con booth one of the single most travelled spots of the entire
convention. After years of sharing the same aisle together, Super7™ and
Funko™ saw an incredible opportunity to leverage each other’s unique
business insights into a more strategic partnership. Beginning with the
launch of the Highly anticipated Alien™ ReAction Figures™ and then
several licenses to be announced soon, both companies look to establish a
firm collaborative footprint in the market with the ReAction Figures ™
line.
Our original SRP was $19.95, and the 5 figure set was $100. Funko
will be able to produce in much larger quantities and wider
distribution, and has a $14.95 SRP, which is $75 for the set. We are
aware of the discrepancy in price with the new agreement, so there is a
additional, secret figure that will be included in the Super7 pre-orders
that will be available only for those who pre-ordered sets of Alien
from us, and will not be available anywhere else. (And preorders are
long since closed.) We think it will be a nice thank you to everyone who
believed in this project and pre-ordered ahead of time, being part of
the excitement of the release of this long-awaited line of figures.
Thank you to everyone who has helped making this toy line come true – we have a lot more surprises in store for you!"
