Lanard Toys: Ripping off other Toy Lines since 1979

[@Wholesome_Toy_Father]

The new Lanard 1/12 scale Predators and Aliens are way worth the price. They have great sculpts and decent articulation. Great for army building.

[@michaellara4095]

Love how they go with the GI Joe Classified figures. A little extra paint work and they go a long way.

[@kryoboy2.074]

Yeah the berserker predator is probably my favourite predator figure especially after painting it up and adding shading. I was hoping to snag at least 3 lanard xenomorph warriors on Xmas eve(the day smyths actually got them in stock after multiple delays) but my Mrs had already ordered the neca nes 8 bit nes dog alien without me knowing 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I've started getting into the gi joe classified line having just got movie snake eyes and storm shadow. These Joe's do scale well next to Joe's and now I'll start my own dutch's crew seeing as neca can't be arsed giving us more human characters from the predator saga. Gi joe Outback Gung ho Breaker baroness with coil bike are all on the list for this year but excited to see what lanard has up its sleeve for 2022

[@Sonic2Chronicles]

I loved the corps figures. I didn’t realize they weren’t making them anymore

[@applehead6179]

Yes me to. I remember now they were called corps in the U.K.

[@javierchavez4749]

Also loved them

[@josephmarkese8563]

There still making the corps toys. There was a new Rise of AI 4 vehicals sets.

[@Spacetrucker138]

Pretty sure they are still making them, walmart in my area does not have a slot for them though. Hard to get real answers about it. I think Smyths is there European counterparts that is still active. I love the Corps figures scratch that itch when I cannot afford anything else.

[@AIR2015]

I remember getting their Super Soaker knock off Big Kahuna water gun, it broke straight away and was replaced with a Super Soaker 50 😅

[@3Storms]

In all fairness remember that in the late 70s/early 80s grocery stores only had "grocery store" toys, so if you wanted the big toys mom had to go out of her way somewhere else. That's where companies like Lanard made their money by being in those grocery stores for "impulse-buys" by parents who figures it's close enough to those GI Joes and Barbies their kids wanted.

[@JustinTyme33]

Remco was good at ripping off ideas but they couldn’t compete with the likes of Lanard.

[@bradm8205]

My nine year old kiddo wanted some plastic army men for Christmas this year. Not a tall order by any means but all the ones I looked at were super cheap. Timee and BMC apparently make good ones from what I can tell but the prices for a play set or bucket was $35 - $50! I found a bucket of 120 pieces from The Corps for $14 on eBay. These were from 2018 but still sealed. By far the best quality and detail. Instead of a WW2 or Vietnam looking troop these were more modern/futuristic. Very similar to the design of G.U.T.S. from back in the day. They were so good we ended up buying another bucket for his younger brother too!

[@williamrandall9502]

Lanard makes some pretty good stuff, and at affordable prices too!

[@leebenhousen1611]

I remember as a kid the CORPS action figures were the best quality rip off GI Joe figures on the market. They had the same articulation and weren’t as crappy as most of the rip-offs. Also it seems like Lanard Toys are exclusive to Walmart.

[@danielferstendig]

Or Walgreens or target or Kmart.

[@emperorpawpateen.9992]

No toy company will ever reach the iconic status as The Revengers : Incredible Fella figure.

[@thegillmanedits]

Those Alien and Predator figs are great for customizing. Low price and a great base foundation for resculpts/repaints.

[@leighneil]

I got a small load of vintage toys out of the wood work a little while ago. There were some ROTJ figures, MOTU figures, 1985/86/87 GI Joes and some Lanard Corps figures. The ROTJ, MOTU and GI Joes had all the normal play wear and tear. The corps figures had no paint wear and tight joints. That should tell you all you need to know about them...

[@josephmarkese8563]

That there the better figures?

[@leighneil]

@@josephmarkese8563 Yes, that children of the 1980’s considered them a rip off and didn’t play with them.

[@Rovarin]

I don't believe you, The Corps figures would always have stress lines on their thumbs and would frequently break.

[@chrisnelmes3786]

I know a few GI JOE collectors who use GUNG HO figures just for their weapons. Some of THE CORPS vehicles have been rebuilt and turned into GI JOE stuff by some fans as well.

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

I got a bunch of Lanard Corps Elite figures in 2017. Durable, great details, etc..

[@Dale_The_Space_Wizard]

My nearest Toys R Us used to sell The Corps. These figures were super cheap, and they would often sell a big pack of them. I enjoyed them and they were worth the money. They sold other lines and I admit I was a fan. They made good generic villains for Star Wars figures. They were perfect for the price that you were paying for them.

[@TheMaskedheel]

I got like a 3 pack at k mart of some G.I. Clones. One had a M60 was shirtless with black hair and a bandana called RAMROD. Wonder who it was supposed to be? He looked like Michael Landon though.

[@donaldrowe6047]

If the major toy companies were not trying to rip off the consumer to begin with maybe there would be no need for parents to have to opt for the cheaper brand knock off. But it's weird that these knock off companies seem to make a profit and at the end of the day a company is in business to make a profit.

[@timpeterson87]

I did box artwork for a Lanard Corp vehicle many years ago. The toy designer I worked for was a cool guy and I made the drive out to their California headquarters hoping to get work. I had no problem with them and enjoyed the work and got paid.

[@ThatJunkman]

That’s great story. Cool to work with them

[@Allison_Troy]

I remember in the late 90s/early 00s when they had the WOW Action Girls. I picked up a ton of those. The accessories were cool and the figures ended up being turned into Episode 1 Handmaiden custom figures.

[@TheGrungy1]

I was a poor kid. I loved them. Still do.

[@1977dajmo]

These ripoff versions are so fascinating. You have to think that the primary reason they exist is to trick unwitting grandparents into buying them for their grandchildren. If Lanard put as much effort into producing their own toys as they have into mimicking other companies' toys, they might have a chance to compete as something legitimate. It seems almost more difficult to create legally distinct versions of licensed properties than it would be to make something new!

[@masonwallace0572]

These toys take me back to the toy aisle at the farm & home store. I’d go there with my grandpa for snow tires. I got the Letterman reference too. No, not David. Lol

[@ronaldcordova7041]

I like and collect the Lanard 3 3/4 - 4” figures. I feel they bring value in an affordable way and can’t knock them for any similarities in other figure lines. I believe all toy companies are guilty of ripping other toy companies off, at least Lanard doesn’t charge an arm and a leg for their figures.

[@travisbishop7212]

So crazy, I was actually at a thrift shop earlier today and there was a gunboat which from a distance I thought was GI joe, and then I got it in my hand and I’m like what the hell is this crap lol🤷‍♂️ Then I looked underneath and saw The name and looked it up, learn something new every day 😉

[@ShakepearesDaughter]

Lanard also went all-in on the 1980s/90s "My Little Pony" craze. Lots of comb-the-hair candy-color pony items with symbols all over 'em, with regular ponies, seahorses, unicorns, flying ponies, and baby ponies. The only thing I don't think they copied were the pony big and little brothers, the males. I could be wrong though...I just don't recall seeing those. (Not a MLP collector, I just pay attention to toy trends and icons.) Lanard seems to have strong relationships with The Dollar Store and Walmart chains, and has been doing exclusives for them and probably Big Lots and so on, for quite a while. Considering that Lanard started business when the higher-end toy sales monoliths Child World, Toys R Us, and Sears stores were everywhere and holding consumer attention, Lanard apparently aimed to find their special bargain store niche and held it, going for the discount store and cheap drugstore/convenience store/supermarket toy trade. Meantime, Kenner, Remco, Ideal, Deluxe Reading/Topper, etc., went out of business, one after another, some even during the big boom years for toys. So I'm just sayin' L had a plan, and it worked, like it or not. There were toys. I guess it's totally arguable that they cannibalized sales for the bigger companies that went away, but some parents didn't have as much money as others and were glad enough to buy the cheaper stuff to give their kids a good Christmas. It might even have "saved Christmas" for some. I mean, you're on the road as a trucker or a construction worker or something and maybe you can only grab the time to go into some truckstop and buy your kids some colorful stuff. Or you're a single parent working graveyard shift. You have to shop odd hours. It all counts when kids are really little, and you have to go shop on payday, no credit cards for you, or doing toy layaway you have to keep paying on. (Remember those days? Mom did that stuff. If she had time away from babies or wasn't at a job herself.) You had to keep the same hours as the store, no "extended to midnight" or shopping on Sundays that I recall, from years and years ago

[@guschampion]

That looks way more like a Crocodile Hunter than a Crocodile Dundee.

[@HexNottingham]

I'm sure most of us wanted you to keep going. I was enjoying seeing the rip offs. How about a part 2?

[@josephmarkese8563]

1st, The Lanard's Alien are new better Sculpt and molds from the old Kenner lines. 2, The Corps is a On going toy universe.. With New Entries every year.. Time Crisis is a evolving story that will be going forward. 3, Star Troopers is a update of there Star Force toy line from the 90's.

[@zaphodthenth]

As a toy collector, I was buying lanyard toys only for the vehicles and the two female figures they marketed. Their vehicles were excellent and I used with my G.I..Joes/ custom figures and I used the female figures to make customs out of, by sanding down the body and switching heads. I bought four of the Terror birds from the Jurassic Clash line for use, and I bought two of their Aliens land vehicles on sale.

[@OFFICIALLANARDTOYNEWS]

Lanard. Not lanyard

[@Vexer-rl9fq]

So basically this company has made it's business for selling toys at the dollar store since the 70s. And they're still around. Wow.

[@cyrillewis9606]

The Alien and Predator lines are actually pretty good. Their scale and articulations work well for battle scenes with 6 and 7" action figures like Star Wars , Marvel, and Dune. The Corps aren't a bad line either. Thank for the review 👍🏾

[@TheMaskedheel]

I remember Letterman from Electric Company. Had a lot of generic go bots and Gi Joe growing up. I love going into dollar stores and looking at the toy lines kids have it so good these days. You parents no longer have to be rich to fuel your imagination. Always makes me smile.

[@carlswicegood4519]

Lanard is doing things the right way. The Corps is great.

[@captlazer5509]

The Corps actually had better vehicles then GI Joe did when it was slowing down.

[@jimsydnor7878]

faster than a rolling O ,stronger than a silent E, able to leap a capital T in a single bound

[@christopherlockery9629]

I saw a figure that was similar to the Ro-Bots one that was literally put under the banner of Auto-Bots! No joke!!!!

[@casual_bill8749]

Lanard toys The corps action figures were amazing. Especially the vintage ones from 86-99 i have really fond memories of playing with the star force figures as there wasn't alot of space themed figures from G.I Joe. The company has always had my respect

[@csj9619]

I remember "Ghetto-bots", "Bro-bots", "G.I. Jack" and other such dollar store knock-offs. I vaguely recall even seeing a spring break t-shirt that looked like the PowerPuff Girls, but they were all in wheelchairs

[@nexxus111]

Some of these are clear rip offs of other properties, but most of them are their own thing clearly being inspired from other properties. There's a fine difference between the two.

[@daltononeill5026]

I had a ton of corps figures as a kid and the vehicles where cool

[@martok2112]

This makes for another great: "What you asked for vs what grandma got you for Christmas/ your birthday!" video.

[@beckymckinley1398]

Even if they are G.I. Joe knock offs the corps toys still are really high-quality.

[@ChazBell]

Hahaha “Letterman”…. Never fear, I got that joke and thanks for recalling him to my memory!!! Faster than a rolling “O”! Stronger than a silent “E”… able to leap capital “T”!!!

[@sitoudien9816]

Ah lanard the toy company that won't go away. Their packaging is nicer than their toys. They are also infamous for reusing their Corp molds every single year.

[@christopherlockery9629]

The Jurassic Clash toy seems to ring a bell for me...

[@greenmanstudios8746]

Very informative, thanks Junk. Same boat here, I just bought the Aliens 7 drone xenomorph figure for an upcoming review. I had a hunch the toy company behind was the same guys who made the Corps two thousand eight figures. What I did not know, is that Lanard is basically retail store bootlegs. Lastly, I did a wiki search to learn more about the toy company, for starting out with just two guys in hong kong, they actually have come along way.

[@Hyperlooper]

If the original GI Joe line wasn't priced for collectors and not for kids i wouldn't have to buy the lanard stuff

[@RarebitFiends]

I looked up Street Eaters after watching this. People are asking more for them than I expected! I don't think it was a rip-off of MASK (which I was a huge fan of) since the main gimmick of that line was civilian vehicles with combat alt modes that usually also took on a different terrain than civilian vehicle (cars become planes or submarines, motorcycle becomes a small helicopter, etc.). The gimick for Street Eaters seemed to be battle armor and battery powered lights and sounds. My guess is Street Eaters may have been one of their unofficial movie tie-in lines, specifically Mad Max as Beyond Thunderdome came out a year or two prior, but I believe the VHS release would have been not too long before these toys came out. It could also be more general as Mad Max inspired a lot of post apocalyptic scifi films in the 80s.

[@williamsorrells6058]

I would agree but also pop in a little wheel warriors in there since it seems all the parts can be swap around.

[@JohnDoe-cj4gn]

I'd also add STOMPERS to that list of potential source material / toy lines it borrowed from. Specifically it reminds me of Mega Star / Future Force from Schaper Stompers even including poseable micro action figures.

[@darthsmoker420]

The GI Joe rip offs back in the day were pretty good. The ones they make now aren't as good but it's the only action figure my son ever wants

[@MrLurchsThings]

The Corps, the GI Joe rip-off that outlasted Joe’s.

[@OFFICIALLANARDTOYNEWS]

RIP off is such an ugly word....The Corps! Have evolved into a stand alone non ko line. Hasbro....well how many versions of Snake Eyes do kids need? The truth is even starting as a "For Use With" line. The Corps! as you said...outlasted Joe.

[@Tjrush-rm4jj]

I remember there were tons of imitation Mad Balls out there. Another notable one was Ugly Balls, lol.

[@BeeTeeGee]

Lanard didn’t take the Kenner Aliens toys and repainted them. I own a large collection of the 90s Kenner line and Lanard’s offerings are new sculpts or repaints of sculpts from their other lines, but not the Kenner ones.

[@ScratJitZu]

The best part of them is they're movie toys.

[@MiyamotoMusashi9]

Street eaters are wheeled warriors

[@joeholtster1891]

Whispering Willie is my favorite from the Corps figs.

[@Wario7793]

First time I'd heard of Lanard Toys was buying the APC tank from Aliens. I had no idea they'd been around since the 70s. Thanks for the heads up, Junkman. Interesting find.

[@JackieWohlenhaus]

I only remember the madball ones. Their new stuff isn't too bad looking as far as candy colored aliens go.

[@OFFICIALLANARDTOYNEWS]

Konami, Capcom and multimedia inspired colors. @Jackie Wohlenhaus

[@ferocious4561]

Maybe Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines was part of the inspiration for Street Eaters? I think some of those Corps figures could be found in general stores in the Netherlands.

[@lothean2099]

I like the alien line they do. I do custom paint them because those colors are indeed funky.

[@OFFICIALLANARDTOYNEWS]

[@trtledave3079]

4:51 I wonder if Street Eaters was somewhat based off the Wheeled Warriors line which also had vehicles and small figures

[@robertonline6543]

That right... good catch!

[@bobastu]

Lanard's Star Troopers is a fairly new line, not even seeing a full US release yet. Maybe you were thinking their The Corps Star Force line from about 10 years ago. I contacted Lanard about Star Troopers about a week ago, and they told me it would see a large US release in 2022. I personally am excited about this line.

[@OFFICIALLANARDTOYNEWS]

Yes, the Star Troopers line will indeed be coming later this year.

[@parkmallbaby]

This is so funny. Reminds me of Syfy channel ripping off blockbuster movies. Anyway I like their 12" figures and been using them for SOTWs accessories and other 1/6 accessories from the 1990s. They're durable and their joints don't seem to get loose cause I never found one that had flimsy joints.

[@cynthiamiller586]

Street Eaters, to me, looks kind of like a ripoff of Wheeled Warriors. Even the figure is similar.

[@grotgrusson5124]

The _Street Eaters_ "looked like" an Dino riders figure in my eyes =)

[@OFFICIALLANARDTOYNEWS]

Street Eaters took batteries and were a for use with stompers or rough riders

[@SGD_ToysDownUnder]

You're not wrong on your assessment that Lanard's entire MO is knock offs at a budget price, but you're off mark on a fair few. Jurassic Clash is fairly recent, likely made to capitalize upon Mattel's Jurassic World, not Kenner's Jurassic Park. Make some great modern DinoRiders though. That's the thing with Lanard, they're cheap, they're knockoffs, but they're not bad toys at all. Lots of charm, get the job done, decent quality. I genuinely enjoy collecting them when I can find them. Go great with Chap Mei Vehicles too.

Blakes 7 ! I watched all of them last year.

[@OFFICIALLANARDTOYNEWS]

Junkman, first I want to say I absolutely love your shirt *Blake's 7 excellent. Now let's dive into this Lanard discussion as I want to counterpoint your views a bit especially since there's a few inaccuracies in your description. La-nard toys *for pronunciation has made for use with and cost saving alternative toylines for decades, we can agree on that. But on alien and predator these are NOT kenner molds the molds are all new, and the appearances/colors are a multimedia inspired approach *comic, videogame, and a tip of the hat to kenner. But they aren't copies at all. And on Star Troopers...the entire star Troopers line is a continuation of the 90s Lanard product S.T.A.R. Force line. The alien humanoid figure is a tip of the hat to sci fi genre alien sidekicks as a whole, hearing your side it would be like saying a star trek alien ripped off a star wars alien..... and I get it, if you're not familiar with the lanard lines and you only hear that tired old argument that "The Corps! are just k.o. joes" then you have a locked in perspective.... well I'm here to tell you Lanard lines have their own mythology and are branching away from that old stereotype. Lanard Toys are fun toys, for kids, collectors, & fans of All ages. There's something for everyone. F.Y.I. the Corps! are still going strong. Now the older 80s lines sure there were some in your face lower cost alternative lines, but that was a common practice in the 80s. The Jurassic Clash line is a part of The ongoing Time Crisis storyline, not a jurassic park rip off, again I get it, if you aren't familiar enough with the brand you could make your automatic conclusion. I invite you to stop by my channel or visit me on social media, I'll happily discuss the ongoing lanard product lines in depth with you or anyone. Kung Fu takeout was a continuation of Dragon Do, a youth friendly martial arts toyline, and the line was lastly incorporated into the corps super soldier line - also a younger aimed marketed toyline. Street Eaters was a low cost alternative to the stompers and rough rider lines of the time. Again I appreciate the subjective point of view, but I would love for you or any of your viewers to visit me on any of my social media or here on KZbin to discuss the lines. I really enjoy your channel and always appreciate your in depth at star wars.

[@q.h.s5051]

Can’t forgive goofy and stupid rip offs but I quite enjoy their modern Predator figures. Jungle hunter being the best followed by the Berserker, and then City Hunter last (Less poseable ankles, incorrect armor color and quickly repurposed JH mask). The Aliens are alright but could use much more articulation in the legs and feet. I hope they can make some Terminator and Robocop figures in the future. I’m sure they’d be decent and nice as long as the sculpts and articulation is good.
