Colonial Marines VS Aliens
Xenomorph Swarm
by Lanard Toys
For the month of October I’ll be posting everything I can relating to monsters, and other frightening beasts.
I’ll be posting things outside of my usual order
Okay for starters let’s begin with one of SciFi’s most iconic horrors, the Xenomorph form Alien.
This Alien toyset is part of a larger scheme to bring back a lot of the retro franchises in toy form (I mean why not, it’s already more appealing than many of the new movies), and I’m pretty sure these Aline figures are made by the same toy company as ‘Elite Corps’ toyline I did a few reviews of a back in 2016; Lanard Toys.

I’m going to start with the box here, and I don’t give them all that much attention; but today I feel like I have to.
This is a very attention grabbing box.
The set in total comes with a Space marine (naturally), and Xenomorph (duh), a gun for the space marine, a xenomorph egg, and a face hugger. Okay; not bad for $10 I suppose.
I’ll start with the Colonial Marine….he’s trash. He is literally a re-purpose of the Elite Corps toys. I mean, I SUPPOSE by itself it’s an okay figure (below G.I. Joe standards) but ‘army build’ worthy, I suppose. Just keep them in the back ground behind your actual G.I. Joe figures.
But it’s the Xenomorph which really takes the spotlight here!!!
