    This just solved a huge riddle of my childhood. I loved the alien series as a kid and somehow convinced my parents to hunt these insanely obscure toys down and I always wondered what movies these other aliens were from. My parents had a running joke about how intensely violent/adult the stuff I was into and now I know why. 😂😂😂

    For R Rated Movies, Kenner's Aliens toy line from 1992-1995 lasted quite some time and even had its own crossover which is very impressive for an R Rated Movie toy line for kids.

    Isn't it funny how toy company executives considered a film about a space colony being overrun by parasitic alien monsters to be more "accessible" than a film about a space prison being overrun by a single parasitic alien monster?

      I gave up trying to figure out their logic, or lack of, a long time ago. You only have to look at their choices of figures released against those that were cancelled to realise their lack of any...

    I remember that the queen, scorpion alien, Hicks and Bishop where the first figures I got. My mom took me to Target to get me some toys and I picked these figures. Really awesome toys if a bit scary for a little kid! But I guess it encouraged my budding love of horror and Sci-Fi!

    I've got most of these and plan on using them as Warhammer 40k Tyranid proxies. The new NECA "reissues" look fantastic and are quite abundant. Pity AVP The Hunt Begins went OOP as i was looking foward to using them as 40k proxies also.
    Good memories.
    Maybe one day my Kids will get into Aliens with these as a stepping stone.

    • @ActionFigureResource
      @ActionFigureResource  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's a great idea. I used to run Warhammer40K and Warhammer tournaments in my shop and I had an awesome custom Nid army. Using these Alien figures would be perfect for that. I've noticed Blood Bowl and Warhammer is also available here in China so I'm thinking of starting a club in the school I'm work for it and to help promote using English.

    Those screen caps were never actually from a proposed animated series but were created for commercials for the toy line. The footage ended up not being used due to new cameras that allowed the director of the commercials to shoot the toys up close and clearly.

    *From Aliensfilmpedia:* (Series 3 - 1993) Three new Marines were released in Series 3. They were: Vasquez, O'Malley, and Hudson. Sadly, they were all released only in the UK, as well as the Australia / Pacific market. Note: The figures bound for Australia were packaged in "US-style" card backs. Kenner sent many cases of these figures to North American retailers, but they denied the new Marines because the Marines from Series 1 were failing to sell. Kids were only interested in the aliens, so Kenner sent 36 cases back to its China division. *24 cases were destroyed, so only TWELVE cases of each Marine are known to exist.* I personally have a mint-on-card Vasquez and Hudson on the US-styled cards that were intended for the Australian market.

    Mini-drop ship later turned up recolored in Kenner's VR Troopers line as the VR Pursuit Jet. The vehicle itself was a retool of a Hasbro GI JOE Cobra Firebat (by then Hasbro owned Kenner).
    There were unconfirmed reports that another series of Marines was planned before the Marines were scrapped entirely. It would've included human characters from Predator. Doesn't make any sense timeline wise, but who knows?
