The Reaction line worked with Alien because Alien had toys back in '79 that were produced and what-not, but never released. So they were releasing toys that never actually saw release to the shelves back when. With all of these new Reaction figures though it's weird and slightly confusing to me, if they have these character rights what's the point of making poorly detailed under-articulated toys? Alien had nostalgia to a point because there were (at least I think so) ads for the toys, these others aren't really nostalgic since when these respective movies were made there weren't toys being produced or advertised. I don't plan on getting these, but I know there are people who do want 'em and I say go for it, I suppose it is still a kind of nostalgia. I definitely feel like these NES figures are a following of NECA's NES figures, I suppose these guys were like "well NECA is doing it and those sell and people like 'em."
Also I still get a kick looking back and seeing how a lot of action and horror movies were made for adults to watch (what with the R-rating) and then marketed to children with toys. Good times.
