They might have honestly even competed with the hiya APC. That and the figure. Overall, though it is a cool vehicle and good for the kids to play with. Lanard just needs to up the game with the figures a bit.
Now the figure. The marine that comes with the APC would be a awesome figure if it wasn't such a piece of dollar store poop. If they made it more detailed, more poseable, and a better mold it would be awesome. I was picturing this guy being made using MTF parts or joe parts so might have to try.
As you know tooling on any action figure line costs thousands, especially all new molds, with Alien being a license line, not only are there tooling costs, but license fees, so yes, there were some concessions. Reusable molds from v1 total soldier kept costs manageable and from an assortment standpoint as I stated we got all new molds for the aliens, including the queen, I'd loved a larger APC, but each line has a budget and it's the same in the way gijoe club had partial costs for a new head, but reused and repainted a figure, to keep costs manageable.
It's a challenge, but lanard is keeping the lines affordable, and now more than ever that is important.
