Ah, I’ve never seen those as Lanard product hasn’t sniffed the local shelves for years here. Never saw Jurassic clash stuff. All we’ve gotten is the Alien and Predator stuff.

All of the Walmart kid connection stuff is real narrow too. Stuff like this used to be too big. Now it’s too small.

"Sneaky shit scam" is exactly right and is also a great name choice for a new Corps! ninja/used car salesman character. I'm pretty laid back and don't give a shit about most things, but that narrow ass ship really pissed me off when I opened it up. I'm sure I probably bitched about it on here back then too, lol. I ordered it online back when it first came out with no reviews, so I've tried not to make that mistake again.
Another example is the little Fang knock off that's been around for years. We had a few that we cut the big guns and ball mounts off the front and painted them up like Fangs...they looked great. Later on, I found what must have been a newer release of it in package at a random junk store for $2. Got home and opened it to find the damn thing no longer has the landing skids, just some really tiny molded on wheels that look ridiculous...and just like you mentioned, the package was intentionally designed in such a way that the new shitty landing gear wasn't noticeable. I laughed at that one though. I can get cutting costs, but sometimes it's like they are putting that money they are saving back into more creative ways to deceive the buyer. Like those Flat Stanleys they pack in with vehicle sets. Some sweet old grandmas with trifocals think they are buying Timmy a vehicle & included figure and instead get a cardboard cutout of one.

That older mini copter that you are referring to had several tooling issues (skids and part of the main body was damaged in both master tools used in its manufacturing ) that was unfortunately broken during the last of it's offering the replacements would have put production way behind schedule, the solution that was done to replace it...... a whole new Mini Copter was put into the First Response assortment. And for everyone who may be curious, it fits a full sized figure in the cockpit, the mold for it was first seen in the Rampage line.

Are we going to be able to find that new Mini Copter at retail is the U.S. this year? I'd buy a few of those.

Yes, although styles, color/deco, packaging, and included figure may vary from previous release you will have the first response sets included at retailers. There's a lot of products in this year's assortments.
The Corps! Star Troopers Jurassic Clash And a few surprise items all will start hitting widespread domestic retailers this summer, with more products joining in the fall. You will see several Amazon listings as well going active on or around August 10th. For more info on all CORPS!

With all this talk of entertainment(movies) keeping toy brands alive, can we expect to see some sort of The Corps! media like cartoon and/or live action movie?

spartek1974 There will be more multimedia. Nothing that can be discussed yet though but there are plans for a larger footprint for the Corps! Multiverse brands.

I think the need for "media presence" is overstated and it depends on what your brand is. I mean, if you're the sort of cheap disposable toys made for parental impulse buys/a less expensive alternative to more expensive brands, you don't really need a cartoon/comic/whatever because nobody actually gives a fuck. Like, most kids nowadays don't even care that The Corps characters have names. Those packages are ripped open and tossed before the kiddo even realizes there are names. And no one can possibly care about that convoluted mess of a backstory lanard is trying to push. These are just toys you buy to push/zoom around making pew-pews. You don't "build worlds" with this shit.
