$20 apiece is a bit pricey. Nice retro look and all, but I'll have to pass.

I love the glasses so much.   We really need to have them back as promo pieces, as opposed to collectables priced at $49.99.  ;D

20 bucks for 3 and 3/4" figures? That's crazy? I never cared for that scale. It's more for children's Star Wars toys.

I'm a 3 3/4" GIJoe fan, and although I don't buy new Joes anymore, they sell for around $9.99 a piece, as do new 3 3/4" Star Wars figures.  Do I think it's too high for the size of the figures?  Yes, which is why I don't buy new figures.  But, that seems to fall in line with the other lines as far as price, which is around $10.00.

And, if these were around $10-$12, I might get at least two or three. Wouldn't mind having Ripley, Ash, and The Alien. But, at $20, I don't know if I'll even get just The Alien. At that price, they should have better articulation. I know they're going for the retro look, but the prices sure aren't retro!

Am I the only one more interested in the glasses!?  I definitely want a set of those!!

They supposed to be coming out with a 19" alien. How much is that going to be?

The glasses are cool...they look like something you'd have gotten at 7-11 with a Slurpee. But $49.99 for four glasses? That's as bad as the $20 mini-figures.

Its $10 for every 3 3/4".

The purpose of this project is to re-create these unreleased toys directly from the 70's prototypes.  I am sure it was not an inexpensive endeavor, plus these are licensed as well.  This is not a huge company that is going to be able to create the toys as cheaply as Hasbro or whatever.  All things considered, I am OK with the price point, and I think that it's pretty cool that someone is making them in the first place.

I agree with this.  I would prefer that somebody applied this concept to the Universal Monsters, though.   ;) 

I mean, I think we would all love to have reissues or designs inspired by the original Monster glasses and the Remco figures.

Wolfman

I would be more interested if it were "It, the Terror from Beyond Space". That was the original Alien after all.
