Top 5 Strangest Kenner Aliens Toys

[@mksilver]

Even as a kid getting these, I always imagined that the animal hosts, like the mantis, weren’t earth sized animals. That it was an alien creature, like a mantis. The marines just referred them to the closest animal they appeared to be. Just me trying to make sense of it. But the crab one is beyond terrible. Even I knew that as a kid 😂

[@forestjohnson7474]

if your read the comics that came with the toys they explain everything. The bugs in those comics are as big if not bigger than humans.

[@Randomark3087]

I had soooo many of these when I was a kid. My favorites are the Boar, and the....mantis. XD You're right though. How the hell would face-hugger attach to a bug? Speaking of which, I always thought the crab looked more like a scorpion.

[@cowboysfandariusroadstruxt8289]

Finally a sensible comment. You had these when you were a “kid” and this guy isn’t a kid he a grown man with a room of toys. Sad isn’t it.

[@iodaspark]

A real 'eye-opener', man! 👁👍

[@terminalienstoychest]

Remember the Hicks figure released for Hive Wars?? That was one strange amalgamation of all space marines into one figure.

[@RETROORDIE]

I do and see it still on card today at places lol

[@mattmanw54301]

In my mind, I always thought the weird combos of alien and other animals were the results of genetic experiments. Like some Weyland-Yutani lab somewhere has scientists going nuts trying to create a perfect alien to be controlled as a soldier.

[@RETROORDIE]

mattmanw54301 Lol that would be hilarious! Just some drunk weyland scientist taking whatever he can find and making random xenos.

Bro im looking to buy a dreamcast my sister sent me a screanshot of one but the dude wants 549 im like hell no im just starting to get into collecting but even i no that aint right man how much are they really supost to cast dude?

[@RETROORDIE]

TRIPLE C 420 549!?!? Lol I would say in retail space 40-50 bucks I found one in a thrift store for 10 bucks I would recommend to just search eBay for a bit unless you have a retro game store or thrift store

[@theevilspirit7763]

@@RETROORDIE im moving back to ct wit my familly dude my sister said theres a retro store bro im hella excited man i grew up with all the old systems and i miss them u no

[@austinwillcut4919]

Actually there was a King Alien in a Dark Horse mini series called Aliens: Rogue, that may be where Kenner got that idea from. The figure looks very similar to the one in the story.

[@john-oh9cr]

what was ur favorite alien but from the old Kenner it has to be the snake alien from the movie it would have to be the runner alien

[@RETROORDIE]

It’s a toss up between the Mantis and the Queen Alien that had the wings and the acid spit action. I mean the Queen deluxe set on point!

[@CromTTV]

Knowing what we know about the franchise now and how anything can become a host with contact with the bioweapon I am very interested in Alien earth and seeing if any of these variations make it into the show.

[@blackdragon5274]

Giant crabs/snakes/mantises/bugs and spiders. Have some imagination man, we're already dealing with parasitic aliens, are giant animals that hard to imagine?

[@RETROORDIE]

Black Dragon lol you are clearly new here. As the title states these are the strangest aliens toys.

[@blackdragon5274]

@@RETROORDIE yeah, but your reasoning for being strange was that you don't understand how they could exist. Nothing is really strange about them from a design standpoint, they're all pretty cool. I believe the mini comics do say they're from giant bugs and such.

[@RETROORDIE]

@@blackdragon5274 lol I mean I collect Kenner Alien toys lol I know how cool they are. The comics they came with I haven't read since they came out and all of my toys I have now are on card lol so I haven't thought to look at the mini comic but still I think some of them are strange lol

[@blackdragon5274]

@@RETROORDIE haha, fair enough, keep enjoying em man, they're awesome!

[@RETROORDIE]

@@blackdragon5274 I agree! I cant get enough.

[@stueystyler]

Enjoyed the video! Regarding the King Alien, however, that figure doesn’t share any of the same parts as the Queen Alien figure. It’s an entirely new sculpt.

[@RETROORDIE]

I did not know that but awesome

[@juliocozy]

The hive wars line,the raccoon predator looks weirder than the crab alien

[@RETROORDIE]

Jocelyn Rose yeah like I said at the end of the video I haven’t even touched on the predator Kenner line yet lol

[@Vladslav.Drakulya]

it would be interesting to see the king in the movies one day(but in a health way)

[@john-oh9cr]

oh and you said some of these aliens don't have an actual backstory no but it is interesting to create one

[@RETROORDIE]

I agree, like the original line of toys had mini comics that came with them, would have been a good way.

[@yosisoyjavier]

Simple response to everything: the hosts could be snakes, mantis, crabs, etc.. but from another planet. The may be gigantic in that planet.

[@austinwillcut4919]

Actually there is a King Alien in the comic story Aliens Rogue where a mad scientist on a space station creates it through DNA manipulation, Kenner may have taken that idea from the comic.

[@andreslaza9712]

There Is a king alien in the comics

[@RETROORDIE]

Ultimate web slinger , true sort of...... The Rouge Xenomorph is nothing like this Kenner toy and wasn’t based off it in any way.

[@andreslaza9712]

@@RETROORDIE yea i guess your right

[@darrenspeak7549]

There's a story called rogue... About an Alien king. It's genetically created in a lab. Not a bad story

[@Passarium-1195]

The spider alien is what happens when a facehugger doesn’t find a host

[@TheCakesCup26]

I think the queen facehugger is the actual result

[@im3phirebird81]

that a facehugger does not find a host seems impossible, since the egg only opens when a potential host is near.

[@jamesthompson3023]

Big god damn bugs

[@RETROORDIE]

It’s a bug hunt for sure

[@Passarium-1195]

The king alien was designed by dr Ernst Kleist in aliens rogue to kill xenomorphs

[@terabitez3374]

Dragon alien Queen also in terms of the mantis alien look if theirs aliens in Alien so who’s to say there isn’t a giant mantis species

[@Passarium-1195]

The mantis alien was mixed with mantis 🧬

[@stethespaniard2]

You sound like real fun to be around

[@RETROORDIE]

lol if you can tell by the vids I make I don’t have friends nor do they leave the house aside for work lol so probably not

[@thomasjackson5204]

actually , a facehugger could probably get a pyphon snake ..a larger snake perhaps ... also, look into H.R giger who invented the alien in the first place .....has nothing to do with these designs ...this is pretty much take someones genius idea and lets run with it !! ...none of it after aliens makes sense ...not even aliens vs predator lol .....there u go

[@alienmakerdirector3866]

The answer is Weyland Yutani

[@RETROORDIE]

#Alienmaker Director lol true

[@lorenzocrespin6730]

Just use your imagination, how they were all created.

[@RETROORDIE]

@@lorenzocrespin6730 lol as a kid I did, as a adult I use my brain.

[@wannabewavy2366]

Ok, how the swarm alien is lazy to you is beyond me. I mean think about it, a fricken combiner alien is pretty cool. Also, would you rather have a plain alien, or a kick ass alien hybrid. So shut up about saying that the alien design is lazy

[@RETROORDIE]

Swaggy Pig lol first I’ll say try to make me shut up lol Second I’m heavily invested in the dark horse alien comic book universe and I have seen the xenomorphs incubate in many different species and a xneo is a bug almost already so to have it combine with a bug is lame and nonsensical so gtfo

[@wannabewavy2366]

Oh, sorry I was just being an idiot for some reason. Any way, I liked the vid plus, it introduced me to the swarm alien so yah
