Super7 keeps their retro Kenner love going with an exclusive Alien Egg Chamber playset for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Just look at that box design and the image of the kids playing with the figures. That’s about as good as it gets. Bravo Super7! Here is the official release from their Facebook page:
Super7 x Funko: Alien Egg Chamber ReAction Playset
Limited run of 250/numbered
Look kids! Now you can relive the excitement of the Nostromo Crew’s journey into the Derelict Alien Spaceship! Venture with Kane deep into the mysterious Egg Chamber ReAction Playset and pose your sturdy ReAction Figures on the detailed, egg-covered base. Inspired by the playsets of the 1970’s and packaged in an era appropriate photo box, the playset provides the perfect backdrop for all of your ReAction Adventures. The playset comes complete with classically styled action base made from durable hand-cast resin and corrugated cardboard, full-color Alien Egg Silo backdrop that slides into the base for display.
ReAction Figures sold separately. Limit to 1 per person for the entirety of the show. $100 ea.
At 250 pieces, this one is going to go quick! Hopefully they will come out with a slight variation on the box as a more widespread release. I’d love to see more of these end up in Kenner collections!
