I just love stuff that I can add to my existing Kenner collection, so the Lanard figures definitely worked there. The humans were all around pretty lackluster, with something being outright bad, but the Aliens, face huggers, eggs, and accessories were excellent.

I'm part of a couple of the groups on Facebook and the consensus seems to be the line is dead. Do you have a link? Now Hiya Toys has been putting out 1/18th scaled Aliens figures (now available at places like GameStop) but that's a completely different company and different line).Barbecue17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11169946891265569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-44005794199151068142022-05-26T03:11:18.735-04:002022-05-26T03:11:18.735-04:00Thought the line made a comeback this year in new ...Thought the line made a comeback this year in new packaging look it up on YouTubeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-83949183341012419812022-03-05T11:36:02.368-05:002022-03-05T11:36:02.368-05:00Absolutely.Absolutely.Barbecue17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11169946891265569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-4808014264642795012022-02-28T18:06:05.852-05:002022-02-28T18:06:05.852-05:00I don't usually customize my stuff but those a...I don't usually customize my stuff but those alternate heads do look really impressive. Skeletor's is awesome, especially the teeth and the way the jaw is open. You have some great shots on your Instagram. I'm rather new to Instagram and don't really like it much, though. (I don't use a smartphone which it seems to be designed for). I really just joined to follow stuff from Final Faction and a few others but I did start following your account!Barbecue17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11169946891265569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-56556475490304082952022-02-22T08:42:19.428-05:002022-02-22T08:42:19.428-05:00I'm not sure that there were any Legends I did...I'm not sure that there were any Legends I didn't find in stores this year from the mainlines.

I need to look more into who picks that and what the criteria is.

I have yet to dive into the Revelation line although I've been mightily tempted to pick up ScareGlow many a times.<br /><br />I never knew they made that Aliens reboot line!
