That's what I was thinking.
I kept looking back and forth at lance bishop, ridley scott, lance bishop, 1979 to celebrate the 40th anniversary, aliens 1986.
Like...What?
Where are the Brett sneakers or Lambert cowboy boots, dangit.

Guess what that is.
Same! The Audible releases are what I end up enjoying most about Alien Days so I'm disappointed it's an announcement and not a release, but just excited to know another one is still coming!
It'd be sweet but I'm not holding my breath.
Yes, I'd have preferred blue card since that would match the rest of my vintage Alien stuff, but was forced to go black since I'm not a Con person (and not filthy rich). I just want to have the whole crew on matching cards to hang on my wall!
They're being rather tight-lipped about this one, so I'm hyping myself up something stupid lol
I'm sure it'll be good, whatever it ends up being
They were also released as a set of 5 exclusives on blue card for New York Comic Con last year. Ripley didn't quite make it and was withdrawn. I am expecting she will show up as an ALIEN Day release. Unfortunately, these things are ridiculously hard to come by now and stupidly expensive when you do find them. Gah.
There's no black card versions, unfortunately. On the other hand it would be neat if Parker, Brett and Lambert did get a black card release. I'm not the only other person who wants that to happen. It's certainly not too late.

Thank you! I'm all about the ReAction stuff, and was hoping for Parker, Brett, and Lambert on cards. Looking like I might have to settle for those 3-packs...
I remember my belly getting that falling feeling as his expression and voice slowly changed to barely controlled panicky terror as he realises he's completely alone and in the cramped confines of the ship's bowels with something he can't even comprehend and his mind is playing tricks on him.
I always felt that the alien showing up was a bit of a let down, at least compared to the insanely tense build up as all his bravado starts to evaporate

There's no Super7 announcement on that link. There are some new Loyal Subjects figures coming out in May; and the Diamond select ALIENS Warrior envelope opener gets a mention. The rest of the announcement involves books which you'll already know about, some posters and a reminder NECA have figures coming out but no Super7 stuff is covered in the announcement.
I know Super7 will be releasing their 3rd Wave of ALIEN SPACE VILLAIN blind box figures in June. Plus 3.75 inch figures of Ripley, Newt, Hicks, Vasquez, Hudson and Bishop (which can be pulled in half. lol) is coming but I have no release date.
Info on those items here, here and here.
Super7 may have something else planned. We still haven't had any word on their ReAnimated figures for over a year now. Maybe we'll find out about those on 4/26.
-Windebieste.
I used to agree, until the prequels.

I can't access that website because apparently my browser is not secure enough. Can anybody be a pal and tell me what Super7 has on offer?
Sponsored by Disney and it's a sausage party.
Thus would begin the "beauty is just like, your opinion man" arguments.
