I saw this morning that Forbidden Planet UK are now offering pre-orders for the Funko/Super7 ReAction lines of Terminator, Alien, EFNY, and Predator.

I'm really tempted to maybe grab at least one or two figures from each line. The prices seem pretty good too.

Then I saw some of the proposed lines for later in the year...

I am very tempted with:

& now this:

They're iconic characters and I really like the packaging, but I don't think I'll be collecting them.

I think I MUST have Jules!

And Jason (Friday the 13th), Snake Plissken and maybe a Terminator, but DEFINITELY all the Firefly cast!

But I will have to open them to play with display!

Cheers for posting Paul, I'll grab me one of these mate 
Also liked the Jason and Michael Myers figures   

Cheers Andy 

They're cool! I love the old school look   
 
Anyone remember these from back in '97? They came with Burger King Kids Club Meals at Halloween and are  unquestionably the best ever toy's that came with any Kid's Club/Happy Meal without a doubt.
 
They also did Dracula, but I never managed to pick him up. You can still get them quite easily on ebay, usually in the States, keep meaning to get the Dracula but just haven't got round to it yet

That's something new. Never heard or seen anything about that Reaction Figure-line but it looks great.

Nice packaging with bright colours and frontphoto. I saw a photo of the action figure Butch Coolidge (from Pulp Fiction), it looks real nice and the price is also okay. Not all figures are great but Scream Ghostface & Freddy Krueger for example looks pretty realistic to me.

Maybe, i'll buy a few. I think these figures looks great standing next to my dvd's of Freddy and Pulp Fiction.

What's next? A John McClane retro action figure (yes please)?

OH great more stuff to consider collecting lol I would most likely go with the alien predetor stuff but not sure will have to see what else comes up

I want to get the Universal Monsters ones when they come out. Also the Jason and Michael Myers ones look cool.

well I bought one at a local toy fair  

This alien figure keeps popping up on forums I belong to. I guess it's a sign I should watch the movie today.

Nice one AJ    Opener or stays carded?

Thanks for the post and thanks for more credit card debt .... some of these I MUST have !!!!

please release the UDE's !!!

I'm really hoping that ReAction will make figures from the 1980 Flash Gordon movie, that film deserves a cool line of retro style figures!

ahahahahaahaha...the Pulp fiction line is great:

I was/am on the fence with 'The Gimp'. Seems too fucked up NOT to have one!

cheers!

I love these "new-old" ReAction figures. It's great to see other companies getting in on the act, too. Zica has Six Million Dollar Man and Twilight Zone, and new company Warpo has a Kickstarter for Legends of Cthulhu.

There are SO many coming out that I have to be picky. I'm only going to be getting toys from properties that were actually from the 70's & 80's. So, Back to the Future & Goonies, but not Firefly & Buffy. And even then, I'll be picky. Only one Predator is fine for me. Also trying to decide if I should open them or display them on the card.

If anyone's on Facebook, I run a group dedicated to these new retro-style figures. I can't post the direct link (my account is too new), but you can search "ReAction Figure Fans" to find it.

I was just at my local vintage toy store here in Cambridge yesterday and saw lots of these cool figures.  If anyone is looking for anything in particular, just let me know and I'll go back to the store and check to see if they have it.

Im thinking of picking up a fewmore, karate kid, goonies, aliens, (big trouble in little china = supercool figures)
the good thing about these is they can be had relatively cheap,
and there are some variants to keep us busy too.
I couldnt pass on the terminator series,
still need 2 more stickered variants, and the new frozen patrolman, (another variant)  

That's a great haul I still haven't picked up any yet but definitely want to add some

Nice terminator figures Oscar, I just got around to watching the latest Terminator film last night. Overall not a bad film and much better then T3 but it has some serious issues with the plot line ?!??

I have four of the new ones , leatherface , Jason , Michael myers , and freddy Krueger . they are very cool but I think besides pinhead im done
