i've only ever seen lanard's horsey line at ollies. the only redeeming value is that it reuses a wow girl figure in one set and it's all 3.75"
in other words, because it's only available at ollies, and only by one or two at a time - it doesnt matter. |

1. Launch a 1/12 scale line based on the video game with non-threatening, non-controversial space guns. 2. Insert those same characters into a popular video game like Fortnite 3. Buy the license to make 1/12 scale Fortnite figures. 4. Tease everyone with a future release of a popular ninja as seen in his recent Fortnite appearance. 5. Release a movie about ninjas 6. Include toys based on the movie about ninjas in the existing toy line 7. Make a 2nd 1/12 scale toy line with complimentary characters with reduced POA and price point Tell Lanard to bring it on. I would welcome shelves stocked as demonstrated in your picture. |

On the beast bomber box, there’s an aircraft carrier. When can I expect to have a poor man’s Flagg to go with my poor man’s defiant?

I'm shocked no one here has asked for a re-release of Space Cowboys (Space horses last seen in the 90's S.T.A.R. Force line). Quote:
Lanard has multiple Domestic Partnerships though, so fans will have better access to many products that were not as obtainable over the last few years Sadly the latest big toy store news I've heard isn't domestic, it was FAO Schwarz partnering with a group to open a major toy store in Italy. But hey, if you're in Italy you now will have a new major toy location for those who live outside of the USA, I also want to let everyone know that both the Alien and Predator lines have arrived in Australia, (I know a few had asked). And for Domestic fans, outside of the Corps! multiverse I can promise you that the license products will have a few more surprises popping up. So kids, fans, and collectors alike will have multiple Lanard Action Figure lines hitting shelves soon. I know more than a few of you are only going to believe it when its in front of you, and I cannot wait for you to see them at your favorite retailers. For more info on all CORPS!

Good Eye, On finding that little Easter Egg, It has been discussed. It's a matter of timing. Some products get picked up sooner than others. It's a lot of planning from Concept to shelf. It would be a combination of WWII/Future tech, so it would be worlds apart from a glorified coffee table( which I do own that 1985 glorified coffee table btw, before anyone gets offended). A lot of the products that are coming up for the line will feature a mixture of past/future tech that has merged due to Time Crisis.
I'm shocked no one here has asked for a re-release of Space Cowboys (Space horses last seen in the 90's S.T.A.R. Force line). Products will begin arriving later this summer, and more in the fall. I would love to see a major Toy Store rise up, sadly even Toys R Us folded back up here in the states, If KB or Toys R Us were still around it would be befitting most if not all major toy companies, including Lanard.

Which explains why Hasbro based the character designs on the mobile device video game instead of the original toys, comics, or cartoons from the 1980s. Apparently the adult collectors collectively gave up on the nostalgia thing and only want designs from their new favorite video game.
Most of Hasbro's offerings are kids toys that adults can also enjoy. What you're missing is the change in modern child play patterns. Possibly due to increased screen time, kids engage in less imaginative and innovative play patterns. Lego really exemplifies these changes as more kids buy Lego for the mini-figs first and foremost. Second, most build kits are only assembled once and as per the instructions. Rarely are they torn down to make something new and unique.

More posing and accessorizing less epic tales of battles won and lost. Its part of the cognitive dissonance that makes it hard for some to accept the idea that modern 1/12 toy lines are for kids. I can do this too, and add in all the companies that sell at big box retail. Or they can take a multi-layered approach. 1. Launch a 1/12 scale line based on the video game with non-threatening, non-controversial space guns. 2. Insert those same characters into a popular video game like Fortnite 3. Buy the license to make 1/12 scale Fortnite figures. 4. Tease everyone with a future release of a popular ninja as seen in his recent Fortnite appearance. 5. Release a movie about ninjas 6. Include toys based on the movie about ninjas in the existing toy line 7. Make a 2nd 1/12 scale toy line with complimentary characters with reduced POA and price point Tell Lanard to bring it on.

I'm not. Those were a weird novelty at best. If there was a three pack with a gangster of love and a guy named Maurice, then I may feel different about it.
