Aliens Queen Hive Kenner Playset Video Review (Retro Toy Rewind)

[@BennyPlayer-du2je]

We never get to see vintage slime in it's prime glory! darn!

[@deepseacocoon]

I used to watch this video so much. Had a great time revisiting it after 7 years

[@fvlramos3184]

Spent countless moments as child staring at this in mall, did not get the chance to acquire it .. best alien Queen figure ever

[@galmorzu]

I still have this. Absolutely loved that toyline! That Queen was a fantastic sculpt for a kid's toyline and at its price level (was so happy to have that over the one from the first wave).

[@MunchnYa]

That slime looks great. Old skool looking stuff

[@shakeyourheadandlaugh9006]

as a kid my buddy had this. seriously the best toy ever

[@EternalRoman]

@Pixel Dan One thing that I do not know if you looked into on this playset, but if you look at the molding all over the set, the tray and the Slime/egg sack on top and sides, you will see cocooned people all over, their heads, and entire bodies, even a Facehugger on the top hatch. If you would paint it grey to customize it you will be shocked to see these molded in the playset. It is so cool :)

[@phoenixliger948]

so glad you kept this one last. I used to own this one and it was awesome with awesome ooze all over it

[@soundwave8466]

I LOVE THE KENNER ALIENS TOY LINE!!!! such well made toys that hold up so well! I recently bought some figures and vehicles on amazon. wish me luck!

[@MiniPainterGamerDadD20]

Man that Aliens line was so cool! I had a bunch of the heroes and aliens. I loved the guy who wore armor that made him look like an alien.

[@angelxenosinead5680]

LOVE how the Queen figure looks!

[@squidsminion]

I always loved how the queen had high heels

[@mickeysylvan6173]

thanks for going the extra mile and sliming. always wanted to see it in action (y)

[@n0isyturtle]

The Queen figure was the reason to buy this set back in the day. Way better than the stand alone one.

[@evanmiller2562]

Well actually me and a few KZbin users have a theory that that Queen was actually supposed to be the Gorilla Alien Queen from the comics. Coz if you look at them side by side; they both have similar headcrests, two pairs of large arms, tiny hands coming out their chests, three toed feet and long tails..

[@joelleon5738]

@@evanmiller2562 Well that's because the gorilla queen is based on the "original" queen xenomorph from Aliens just with some slight differences. Honestly the comic gorilla queen still looks different than the figure.

[@evanmiller2562]

@@joelleon5738 sorry but I disagree I saw every single similarities between the figure and the comix

[@VMIFerrari]

Something else of interest are the human *faces* molded into the Hive playset. There are at least 3 corpses scattered around. That would never fly today.

[@maxyrobbin]

Oddly enough, one of those faces is Bishop's... why would the xenomorphs coccon an android?

[@KouroshKabir123x]

That would be so awesome if NECA was to recreate this playset in their Aliens line

[@kevinnazario1015]

One of the best toy from the 90's. The Queen alien finally had a figure that look like the movie version.

[@comaproductions3288]

I remember this, one of my fav. Kennner Alien from the line. Funny how they missed that Face Huggers come out of Eggs not Chest Bursters.

[@trollpaintingminis4496]

In the commercials I remember it always showed this queen trapping a predator with her tail and it worked great so that may be why it goes over Ripleys head

[@williamsphil9445]

the queen in this set looks way better than the standard one that i had, which for some reason had 6 arms.

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Great nostalgia blast! Thank you ! This is a great set, and I still have mine, but I had to modify it slightly, because the "stalagmite" which is supposed to hook onto onto a tail spine and make the queen's tail whip around was too short to make it work like it was supposed to.

[@josejn2007]

I love Kenner's Alien Line toys. I salute you, Dan!

[@doriansc1]

Yes! I've been anticipating this video. the slime dried up long ago on mine, so its cool to see what could have been

[@ROvisuals]

You have to attach the Queen correctly for tail trapping to work.I have it and it worked for me. The notch would catch the tail when you turn the ooze dropper and trap the figure just right.

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Nah, I followed the instructions exactly, and the stalagmite was just too short to hook the tail-spine. I ended up taking some black Super Sculpey and making the stalagmite a bit longer, and now it works like a charm.

Alien queen: why can't I slime him Slime: I dried up Chat room log: alien queen has left the chat room

totally climactic .that was the best of them all i see why you saved it for last .i have a really cool alien autopsy set that used to have slime i need to get some new slime .great series. i wonder if sigourniy weaver has one of these .

[@Revcharge]

Neca should do this. i mean they already released these Aliens and Predators homage, why don't they make a hive instead of just the queen?

[@ia5662]

Haha the queen remembered to wear her high heels! So weird, but that is an awesome set and figure

[@lucasjacks3594]

That Queen figure is very impressive. I love the tail and the high heels!

[@PlasticGeek]

Oh man I was hoping you would do this one, mine has been sitting on my floor for years, never had the guts to throw slime in there.

[@Pixel-dan]

Why not? Do it!!! :-)

[@Rilyn666]

haha probably the most movie accurate Alien in the kenner figure series. apart from dropping goo instead of eggs.

[@terminatorplayz4614]

Rilyn666 Maybe it's some sort of last resort defence mechanism.

[@kathywebb854]

Except that face huggers come out of the eggs

[@Heavymetalrille]

Happy Halloween Dan! Thanks for the awesome Slime videos...i want more :)

[@FantasticFlicks]

on Kenners part, the hatchhlings don't come from the eggs, the face huggers do, and then use a human host to produce an alien

[@firstorderflametrooper4695]

They got discontinued for some reason after making outstanding Star Wars figures

[@raytheshredgod6987]

+First order Stormtrooper those Star Wars toys were so good no other company can make Luke have a yellow lightsaber and make it work

[@boeingnz]

+First order Stormtrooper The company was bought by Hasbro. I have a Star Wars Ep1 figure with Kenner on the box bus Hasbro on the figure.

[@spartan8648]

Iam Rayman I like shfiguarts, figma, neca, hot toys. They are much better.

[@wowwow998]

First order FlameTrooper it was because they got taken over by hasbro

[@kingbob184]

Back when ideas where more original and kids actually wanted toys great cool retro

[@Pegwarmers]

The hatchling is funny because the facehuggers come out of the eggs. They lay eggs in people that the Alien hatchlings come out of.

[@Pixel-dan]

Yep!

[@galmorzu]

Yeah, that kind of surprised me when this first came out, because the mini comics with other toys acknowledged the chest bursting aspect. So I figured they wanted eggs in the play set and just used an open one as its hiding place. The face hugger from that egg is actually sculpted on the top of the egg sack, so I think they intended for the egg to just be a hiding place.

[@decham7331]

+PixelDan Eardley (The Pixel Dan Channel) u know tht u can fix tht slime ryt?

playsets are defs meant to be for kids.. Aliens is not a movie for kids. Imagine the evil dead slime playset.

[@rocketraccoon1976]

Cool! Where can I get it?? Does it have the raping tree vines & branches??

[@CyrusCageSCWS]

hahaha

[@FrozenVibraniumProductions]

CyrusCageSCWS I think it was made for the unfinished show. And from what Craig told me, kids watched rated restricted movies

[@scottreacher]

These toys were made for an unreleased show called OPERATION Aliens. There are screenshots from the show and a lot of the Aliens merchandise from this line in 92-93 has the Operation Aliens logo on it.

[@cheez-itclan5581]

Flint McFreely the person who made this

[@orkkleavagetv4369]

...Seeing so many slime pits in a row has made me realize just how inherently kinky this whole idea is. The flushomatic hinted at this, and the grabby hand in the slime pit was a big tip off, but Ripley and the queen's intimate encounter here just pushed right over the edge.

[@serafinalig4054]

i dont now why but i like the hatchling from the egg its special

[@DementedDistraction]

Cool playset - always wanted this one as a kid but never saw it in the stores. That said, I think people in the comments are getting a little to agitated about the chestburster/hatchling coming out of the egg instead of a facehugger - they designed this thing way back when with the intent of having children play with it. A 10 year-old kid isn't going to give a crap about true-to-film accuracy, they're going to want to slime their figures and play with a huge Alien Queen. Don't forget, this is the same line that gave us a Gorilla Alien, Crab Alien, Wild Boar Alien, and a space marine who has an Alien 'disguise'.

[@rodster6campingprepper]

Oh my god I wanted this so bad as a kid! Could never find it anywhere in the UK. A running theme of my life.

[@harambetidepod1451]

I will never forget the smell of the slime lol

[@nike80nl]

The Queen is rocking some great High Heel boots 🤙

[@machiavellianwolf8246]

Always wanted this! but was never available in the UK. Saw it at a comic con here in 97 but were asking £100 MIB.Sadly I couldn't afford it, but always loved this playset. Brill review Dan, I'm very jelly ;-)

[@jseyes]

She's a little short because this was at the Aliens vs Predator era and this may have been more for the Predator's height. Plus that's an original aliens figure, the playset was a later one.

[@eddie6198]

That Queen fig looks amazing though!

[@calvinj7496]

i think the white slime you recently reviewed would work great with this since aliens has those saliva like goo that were always left behind

[@strikerevimus]

A bit disappointed that there weren't any MIB toys shown this year, but looking myself at some e-Bay listings, I guess there never was or has been an MIB figure that included genuine slime. Missed opportunity... Oh well, slime lovers can dream, right? Happy Halloween.

Totally awesome review! ! ! ! !

[@sentinelmoonfang]

Wow. I've never actually seen that toy! I had a huge collection of the Aliens toys as a kid, and my queen was the carded version that doesn't look NEARLY as accurate to the movie as that one.

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

I has this- as much as I loved the Queen- right down to her high heels, she couldn't stand on her own. Ever.

[@singleedge778]

This made me happy

[@marcbrunson6986]

When I was a kid I had Drake. I recently bought Ripley for pretty cheap from this line. Trying to find this playset is very costly from what I can see ha ha. I want the power loader for Ripley even though it's not accurate. Gotta give a badass lady a badass accessory ha ha. Crazy that you did this video 7 years ago. The ooze probably could have stayed sealed but at least you had backup ha ha. It's funny the queen has heels ha ha.

[@langlest]

I would have loved this when I was a kid, I had the MOTU slime pit & the Ghostbusters toy that blew slime bubbles I can't wait for my nephew to get a bit older so I can start buying playsets like this again lol I'm not having a go at toy collectors with that comment btw :) I'm 39 with a massive TF collection

This toy series was originated to promote the cancelled kids cartoon Operation Aliens. I wonder if the aliens were going to hatch from eggs in this show in order to tone down the content for kids. That would explain the goofy hatchling in this set.

[@seanburns1955]

Hey bro great video. Bought this for My son this christmas.same thing happened with the slime when I checked it. What is the back up slime that you used and where did you get it? Thanks
