Whoa! Lanard Predator Is Pretty Sick!

Image
I've always given Lanard props for their quality, low priced action figure lines. I've even gone as far as sending them an email to compliment them. But damn, they really raised the bar with this Predator figure! Let's start off with the high quality packaging. Bright, vivid images throughout coupled with a short bio on the back all on  durable cardboard packaging. That cartoon esq drawing on the front makes me want a Predator animated series now! I like when action figure lines include background dios. They could have left it a bland, solid color but instead opted to add some cool jungle images and a target over an infrared backdrop. In hand Berserker Predator is solid! I honestly didn't expect it to be. Hell, my old Neca Predator figure, while nicer looking, was wobbly as all hell. Even some GI Joe Classified figures suffer from loose ab joints. This figure's joints are tight with ...

New CORPS! Elite Figs!

I was finally able to add some of the new CORPS! figures to my collection over the weekend.I was quite surprised to see so few of them left in stock.A couple more sets and I should have the entire lineup of new recruits covered.I'm still debating on whether I should pick up the Roc fig or not.      I hope Lanard sticks to this design  cuz I'm really diggin' It.

Lanard King Kong - Sam Jackson set

 Lanard  is really stepping up their game.Little by little ,the quality  of their product has improved and their variety increased.While everyone has been anticipating the release of  the CORPS! newest recruits ,mainly Impact, Lanard was quietly making moves ,acquiring the license to create King Kong figures and sets based on the upcoming film.It caught alot of us off guard largely because Lanard Isn't what one would consider a sexy name brand.It's a discount line that catered to the more frugal toy collector,kids and adults alike.So ,along comes all this super cool looking Kong merchandise and now we're thinking "Uh-oh,here come the price hikes!". But no!All Kong figures and sets still sported that familiar Lanard wallet friendly price tag.Damn,ya gotta give Lanard their due props. Wasn't sure what the name of the creature In this set was so I'm just going to call It the "Sam Jackson" set.That's right,Sam Jackson!Lanard's doing  actu...

You Can't Stop Kong,You Can Only Hope To Contain Him!

Shout out to Lanard for a job well done!Right when you think the line Is dying out and all they're going to release Is repainted military figures,they turn around and hit us with this!Not to say that the military figures and vehicles aren't great In their own right,but these Kong sets are really adding to Lanards ingenuity.The legend of Lanard continues...! Check out the size comparisons.Doom has his hands full!     Baron Zemo Is looking like a tasty little pizza roll right now. It's snack time!Doom calls for back up! Cap brings in the big guns,which pale in comparison to Kongs big guns. Take that,that and that... Somebody forgot to put  deodorant on this morning. Eeeeewww! Snake Eyes has a long way to climb before he can introduce his katana to Kongs jugular. Here's Lanard's Kong next to a six inch Supes figure. Every figure Is pretty much In scale with King Kong. Well maybe not Marvel Ti...
