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. 😂😂😂 Toy lines for content rated with a hard R 👌🏻

[@ActionFigureResource]

nice story, glad you managed to solve your puzzle 😀

[@MindEyeMediaVR]

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?

[@ActionFigureResource]

There's no accounting for taste, after all there are some really weird action figure lines out there.

[@ActionFigureResource]

There's no rythm or reason to Toys Execs decisions. just look at some of the weird shit Toy Biz and Kenner released in their Marvell and DC lines.

[@ActionFigureResource]

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...

[@c.o.n.collectingofnostalgi889]

That animated series sound frickin brillant and Ioved the Robocop and Rambo cartoons...really wished that series had come out

[@ActionFigureResource]

yes, it sounds like it could've been a hit but unfortunately they got cold feet

[@c.o.n.collectingofnostalgi889]

@@ActionFigureResource bastards lol

[@maxyrobbin]

I have almost the complete collection (2 repaints missing). Fun Fact, the series 3 marines were also sold in Mexico by huge departament stores called "Liverpool" and at the smuggling market.

[@ActionFigureResource]

Thanks for that, do you have any samples you can show us?

[@cybertronnation9247]

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.

[@ActionFigureResource]

yes, these were ahead of their times in many ways

[@EricLinstone]

Yes, I in fact did, collect them all.

[@marcelluswallace4598]

Hopefully you still have your collection!

[@EricLinstone]

@@marcelluswallace4598 I do! Even have a good number of them still in their packaging. I was buying up every Scorpion Alien I could as an "army builder" to fill out the hive. As it was probably the closest to the standard looking Xenomorph that, that line had. Aside from the drone from the AvP 2 Pack.

[@batman9592]

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]

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.

[@batman9592]

[@ALIRStudio87]

Great video. Brings back memories of childhood. My entire childhood was Kenner aliens. Although my parents never allowed me watch the movies.

[@ActionFigureResource]

same here, but I got to watch them on video at my friend's when they came out 😆😆

[@Taffer-bx7uc]

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!

[@ActionFigureResource]

I never saw any of these in the UK but would loved to have had some :)

[@ohwow4596]

You forgot to mention the card board style playset only available for the aliens basically a card background I dont know what it's called but I remember seeing a video that features it

[@ActionFigureResource]

yes, now you mention it I remember that as well, it had slipped my mind. Thanks for the reminder.

[@ohwow4596]

@@ActionFigureResource I just saw the video again where I saw he said it's called 3D background I think

[@BeeTeeGee]

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.

[@ActionFigureResource]

Great info, thanks for that

[@anthonycarlisle6184]

The "scorpion" alien is taken from Aliens & is the xenomorph that attacks with it's tall primarily, like a scorpion stinger. That's what I recall from back then at least haha

[@ActionFigureResource]

I'm planning a series of videos covering all the Alien figures, including NECA's line in depth.

[@mamunestor]

I totally wanted and needed to see Aliens at 10 when it came out.

[@ActionFigureResource]

Yes, me and my mates too.

[@Passarium-1195]

Your correct about the Xenomorphs not being fooled by Atax’s disguise. The Xenomorphs recognize by sent, not by looks, they are like ants.

[@c.o.n.collectingofnostalgi889]

I still have my Alien Queen 😊

[@ActionFigureResource]

:) Excellent, may be you can share an image of it?

I had most of these figures and still have them to this day. No Hicks. Never wanted to pay secondary market value of twenty dollars at the time. Nahhhhh!

[@ActionFigureResource]

I would love to have some of these and the modern NECA figures, but I cannot get them out here in Thailand

[@Chodda]

i still have ALL of these lol... except the UK versions ofcourse... i recently rediscovered them all in a giant box in my attic haha

[@ActionFigureResource]

Awesome video

[@ActionFigureResource]

Thanks, glad you like it. lLet me know what other videos you would like to see

[@Toyeticmuseum]

Recently started collecting the Kenner line so I’ve watched this a couple times. I personally love the 90s style and Apone is my favourite! It’s funny when you said you’re surprised they aren’t more 90s with hi top sneakers but that would be more accurate to the film, Ripley has the craziest hi tops! Anyways great video, really enjoy it

[@ActionFigureResource]

Thanks Mikey, glad it hit the spot

[@jonathanlupfer5262]

I miss KB Toys! 🙁

[@dale3852]

Got them but unaware of the arachnid existence

[@The_Wizard_Owlin_Celestial]

First time I watched the first Alien I was 5 lol loved it

[@ActionFigureResource]

👍👍 I loved the first movie, it was more scary than horrifying.

[@rayfincham1595]

I have all of the Aliens figures, still in their boxes, put safely away in storage bins. I got a complete kick and nostalgic feeling watching the video, thanks for this.

[@ActionFigureResource]

Glad you liked it Ray! I love the Alien franchise but never got any of the Kenner toys, you're a lucky man!

[@rayfincham1595]

@@ActionFigureResource Thanks, hopefully you didn’t think I was bragging or anything. It’s one of the collections I still have and try to keep safe. Had to get rid of a lot of my other collections but I won’t ever depart with my Aliens collection!

@@rayfincham1595 Not at all, I'm just envious that you got these, presumably, as a kid.

[@rayfincham1595]

@@ActionFigureResource heh, actually I was in my early 20’s when I got them, I was and still am an Alien fan, with of course Aliens being my all time favorite movie.

[@ActionFigureResource]

@@rayfincham1595 unfortunately we didn't get a lot of these toys in the UK, at least not where I lived. But as a kid I was more into the action man gear in the 70s.

[@comicbookbuff4400]

I was unaware these suckers were rare!! Do you have them?

[@ActionFigureResource]

No, unfortunately I don't. I saw one of the Kenner 1979 18" Alien figures on eBay for $900 today.

[@ericslate194]

sweet! thx for the great vid! ....so, if i have almost all the original 90's AvP/Marine toys... where could i sell them? All loose and out of boxes, lol. BUT! Lovingly kept with all parts! even the mini comics. :)

[@ActionFigureResource]

Where are you? Send me some pics and what you're looking for for them and I may be I interested.

[@Cazvolaine]

I know this is 2 years old but, Did you know about the "Cloaked Predator" that was clear you had to send away in the mail for? There was a commerical back in the mid 90s for it and you had to get the address and a bunch of proofs of purchases for other figures in the line and they sent you a predator that is a cast copy of the 2-pack Alien/Predator but the plastic is 100% clear and the weapons included for it were silver. I have one! You're welcome to ask me about it!

[@chonthicha84]

many thanks for the,comment. yes, I heard abor this,but after I had made the video. I'm gradually working my way through them,and,doing more,detailed and,in depth videos but thay are very time consuming.

[@videogamephilosophersaurim7732]

Yeah…but that bishop figure was awesome! So was apone!

[@ToonamiT0M]

I never knew there was a planned cartoon for Aliens. Just thought the toys were toys sake. I have several of the KB figures.

[@dans15]

We got the series 3 humans Australia. I had Hudson and O'Mally.

These were so cool considering kids weren't supposed to see the movie.

[@TheCakesCup26]

Something of note was the prototype full sized dropship that was shown off at ethier toy fair 1993 or 1994 that had a cockpit that turned into an escape craft.

[@ActionFigureResource]

Was it ever released? Or another golden grail like the Mattel Battleship Galatica that never mind it past the prototype stage?

[@TheCakesCup26]

@@ActionFigureResource It was never released but it was shown off at toyfair.

[@ActionFigureResource]

@@TheCakesCup26 Which means someone, somewhere has at least one of these but if there's one there are probably a few more. Very rarely would they only make one prototype to show off.

[@TheCakesCup26]

@@ActionFigureResource I’ve been checking up and down all over the internet and all I can find outside of that video was a black and white picture of it from a website called “The super toy archive”. Searching Kenner aliens dropship play set mostly just brings up the mini dropship and the super toy archive image. So there is probably atleast 2, maybe someone should get in contact with a former Kenner employee who worked on the aliens line.

I find it weird you pronounce Neca N.E.C.A. it's supposed to pronounced like (NECKA) or (KNECKA). Aside from that solid run down on these classic figures, I've been debating with myself getting any aliens figures since my shelf is already chocked full of Godzilla and Jurassic Park figures.
