Since the 70s there have been numerous incarnations of KISS released as toys, from MEGO-style dolls to Pop! Vinyl, Hello Kitty, K’NEX and a full series of large scale action figures that McFarlane did awhile back. What there has never before been is proper 3 3/4″ action figures – we’re talking STAR WARS size, G.I. JOE size figures. Well, for 2015 it’s happening with the release of KISS Alive II 3 3/4-inch scale action figures by Bif Bang Pow! This is going to be a complete set of the original members – Gene Simmons (The Demon), Paul Stanley (Starchild), Peter Criss (Catman) and Ace Frehley (Spaceman) – as they appeared during the ALIVE II era. Here’s the early details…
KISS ALIVE II Action Figures:
“Each of the KISS Alive II 3 3/4-Inch Scale Action Figures feature detailed character-specific clothing and accessories based on the Alive II album. These exceptional figures feature 11 points of articulation. Gene, Paul and Ace each come with a guitar and Peter has a pair of drumsticks. Pose each figure with his accessory in all your favorite rock positions! But wait, there’s more! Each figure comes in full-color packaging that comes with a unique drum set cut out. Collect each action figure for a complete drumset. If you’re a fan of KISS you’re going to want to collect them all! Ages 14 and up.”
Now, the only thing available for viewing is concept art, but with the figures set for a May release according to Entertainment Earth, I’d bet we see the real figures on display at Toy Fair in New York next month.

We need to get a set of these for Rock Father HQ, and I can guarantee that if we do, Gene Simmons will be piloting the Millenium Falcon for a bit.
Stay tuned…
