If you’re active on social media you may have seen this new line of 4″ figures from Lanard Toys being shared in various Facebook groups! The new line is targeted at the younger fans, but seems to have struck a chord with the older fans who appreciate the Kenner-vibes that Lanard’s new series is putting out.
There are currently six different sets available, the majority of which sees Aliens going up against a (kind of) Colonial Marine! There’s also a pretty sweet APC and armored Power-Loader!
These figures are available exclusively through Walmart in the United State, and Smyths Toys in the United Kingdom (not until April though). Unfortunately only the Queen and motorcycle packs seem to be available in the UK though.

Didn't expect them to keep producing! Pretty impressed with all three to be honest.
Bumping this thread just so everybody knows, I've been playing around with her a lot recently, she's only 20 bucks but she fits with the neca stuff kinda (imo, at least going by some depictions like avp 2)
Makes me feel like a kid playing with my kenners again!
Will post pics when I get a chance to give you all a feel
Overall, I LOVE these figs, especially for the price. They are a really beautiful homage to the Kenner line, and for $10 for the basic sets you get some really good figures. The Alien figs are amazing for the price, plenty of articulation for some great poses. The APC especially surprised my, lots of cool decals and you can fit two figures inside of it.
But the real star of course is Queenie. The second jaw action feature is a lot of fun, and she has good articulation overall (only downer is no knee or horizontal hip movements, but I guess that would've caused stability and cost issues for the $20 price point.
The only thing that's really somewhat meh to okay on are the human figures. They have pretty basic hip articulation so no cool poses. That said, they look great and all the costumes are strait out of the film. Overall, if you see these figs, get them. For the price (like $80 for the whole set), you can't go wrong.
Haha, I can't argue with that. I'm all for it!
As a side note, I tried to check them out the other day but my Wal Mart did not carry them
I ended up merging all three slime pools into one big mega-pool, I'm planning to use it to slime up some of the Lanard stuff I got, and use it in the old Kenner Queen hive Playset.
Aliens come in pieces inside a pouch of slime. you put it together and put them in the slime in the egg. Two tiny huggers.

They also had the eggs that had the like Lego Build an Alien in them. Pretty curious about that one as well.
I'm interested in these new toys because I am a literal child trapped in an adult's body by way of arrested development that I should probably see a therapist about so I can join adult society instead of blowing my spare money on children's toys, but I might as well enjoy the ride while it lasts.
Also I got the Queen Alien and holy goddamn is it huge. It's radically out of proportion with anything in the line, it just dwarfs the power loader. Like it's a foot tall and the head seems only a little smaller than the NECA Queen.
Also the new Alien RPG clarifies that the scorpions that the Scorpion Alien comes from are giant scorpions (and therefore can be facehugged).
Well then what is supposed to be the demographic? An initial look would say younger kids, but most of the people on the forum here that are talking about buying them are probably adults. Again, I am all for more products and especially ones to bring in newer audiences.
I agree some of the DNA reflex idea they used is silly for ones like the scorpion, mantis, crab etc. that couldn't actually be facehugged, but all the others that could be facehugged I have no problem with it.

I could place her next to the JAKKS Pacific Godzilla 2019 I just got -
Spoiler
There's an Alien 40th Anniversary logo on the back of the boxes. That explains this.
My wallmart had 4 queens on the shelf and nothing else, lol the queens were 19.98 each, I bought them all lol.
I'll check for the others when night shift is over.
It all depends on what boxes get cut open in the toy department first.
Obviously your store missed the queen. But I'm sure you keep checking and she will pop up soon.
Also the queen alien is alot of fun to play with, her tongue is attached to some kind of springy swivel in her neck so when you move her head around her tongue will shoot out and than back in at different angles. She is quite cool and a much better queen alien toy than the 1 we got in the 90's. I just wish she wasn't a fan of prince lmfao, big purple bitch haha
I might do a YouTube video once I get them all. The queen has me really excited to see her full lineup of friends.
Update - the Queen was up for order in the Walmart app for retail price with free delivery to the store so I ordered one, it'll arrive by 1/13 or sooner.
I hope this isn't somehow Disney testing the waters for kid-friendly Alien content.
Godzilla is her trainer!

There's only 2 sets available in the UK unfortunately, but they're exclusive to Walmart in the States.
