Shadowninja, you're entitled to an opinion, but it's pretty narrow minded. The Entire Alien Collection is a celebration of the multimedia aspect of the license. Something I have tried numerous times to explain, and neca, isn't a toy company they produce adult collectibles so 2 very different demographic groups. As for repaints the Deluxe Red queen was a homage to Aliens Genocide. And the red Deluxe alien queen has light/sound feature
As for Star Troopers, I read off exactly what is on the packaging, and on the video if you look in the description you will find two real world links on the subject in the insect world, Yeah, these are fun Toys. Not everything is an adult collectible. But unlike other brands Lanard is offering variety, including Alien collection, Predator Collection, Star Troopers, The Corps! And more. The new 7" aliens and predators will scale just fine against those NERF carrying CLASSIFIED figures, you may actually find yourself having fun. If you don't like them, its alright, no company can please everyone 100% of the time. But at least Lanard is continually bringing more to shelves for less. The Sub-Org alien aspect is great writing based on real world insects, read the links from the video. No one is pulling any kind of fast one, not every zombie is based in George Romeros mythology. and for those who aren't familiar with the REAL LIFE zombie process in the bug world should take a moment and read some articles as this is something loosely based on fact!

I doubt Lanard based it on Parasitoid Wasp and Ophiocordyceps fungus on purpose. They are not the first to do this type of thing. The closest it reminds me of is in the video game by Gearbox called Half life and it's head crab that pretty much does the same thing and they are not the first either. I get you think these are great and in their own way are cool but it was worded to make them sound different. You first said "Zombies in the corps, multiverse?" making people think about one zombie only. People don't think of these when they hear zombie.
I like how you mention the 6in classified joes every time I bring something bad about lanard like your insulting what I think is the greatest brand ever. I could care less. I dont buy them. You live in your own little world. You cant be on one of main sites of a brand and then try to switch people over to a lesser brand on that website. Not how it works. I like lanard and some of the stuff they have is cool but I'm not gonna put them on a pedestal above better figures when it is obvious they are not. They are play things for kids that is all. Some of them are awesome. Details wise they just don't compare and you cant say they do cause it is obvious when they are side by side they don't. My 9 year old points that out all the time. You would have to be crazy if you didn't think Lanard is trying to go up against NECA with the predator line. The box almost is the evil twin of the NECA boxes. They are trying to get the person that doesn't want to pay 20 bucks for a figure whether it is a kid or not.

Zombies are now in the Corps! Multiverse, as the storyline for the Corps includes Star Troopers. This development will carry into the ongoing story, you think that the links provided didn't correlate to the story? A lot of research went into the development of the line, Yes, this is a Joe page, and this thread is for fans of Lanard, a company that has consistently improved and produced more products for a constant price point affordable for fans of All ages, you liking it or not doesn't change anything. I do appreciate your feedback and your opinion.

aliens just started being clearanced here.
if they're being clearanced for the 6" lanard aliens stuff and no more 3.75", get ready for that to keep the pegs warm. those are not zombies. yes. that is something that happens in the insect world, but it's not what people expect when they hear zombies. if those goofy heads dont come off, those will keep the pegs warm next to the 6" aliens stuff. it's a misuse of the term, it's parasitic/symbiotic which they could have gone with and it be the same "this is a neat word!" effect. |

As for Star Troopers, The term Zombie is not misleading. It's most peoples conception of the actual term, Everyone immediately thinks George Romero mythology When many should look at the Origin of the term, (Has no one watched the serpent and the rainbow) and yes, the term is used in the Real Life Insect bug world which inspired Lanard, Yes it's set in space, and these creatures are bugs. I Explained the concepts and synopsis right off the packaging in both Star Troopers Videos, and I explained that on the Parasite bug assortment that the heads can be switched from the Star Trooper, to an infected Parasitic Zombie Trooper, as these gestate on their bodies even after killing them they can use the bodies until the SUB-ORG matures into an Adult bug, as these are the Larvae stages of the 4 adult bug types in the Initial assortment. Star Troopers as an assortment offers a lot of fun imaginary play for Kids of All ages. I do hope you'll check out the video, And for those who've asked, Yes I do have new camera equipment on the way to shoot these videos, and Product pictures to show and share what's to come. I'm including an attachment of the cardback for you to see that the heads are removable offering troopbuilding for both Trooper and for the SUB-ORG. Star Trooper Helmets are also included in each pack. For more info on all CORPS! Products https://www.facebook.com/TimeCrisisFightTheFuture/ The Official website, MORE Updates will be added soon!

Check your local store and let me know if your store opted to clearance the Corps! 4-Way Assault.
Your store may have opted to only carry the 7" line, as the larger assorted sets were supposed to stay on shelves through Feb. I appreciate the pic for confirmation, the gift sets were not suppose to be closed out yet. The gift sets were to stay in circulation till the upcoming products were in distribution, which includes the surprise items. not just what's been shown. For more info on all CORPS!

what the hell is a 4 way assault? and in what world does that delegitimize anything im seeing with my own eyes?
regular corps figures were NOT on the shelves here for the duration of the jumanji and the aliens sets. we went from jumanji - not clearanced just taken off shelves, then aliens (this year only) and clearanced as of this week. the super set in the photo is from texas, i live in florida, and have only seen this set twice in person. with the exception of the red alien set (not a fan), i am making out like a bandit on the blue and yellow ones on clearance. i've visited three walmarts between yesterday and today. two of the three have been a success for me. i aim to go to the one i saw the super set at tomorrow. i dont plan on it being there because it's where i saw the one set, twice.
