Write a Review link for that item. Aliens (Kenner) (Kenner)The blister version of the Alien Queen has got to be one of the coolest fiigures in the 90s Kenner toyline. One of its main features is its amazing paintjob, which I wish other aliens had. My version is glossy black with some metallic gray accents that really bring the sculpted details to life. Furthermore, it's action features are really fun. It can extend its inner jaw by squeezing a soft rubbery section located in the lower part of its head, its tail-whipping action is surprisingly satisfying to use, requiring you to press a conveniently-placed button on its left leg, and it even comes with an accessory in the form of a royal chest burster that clearly resembles a queen instead of a drone. On the other hand, this particular version of the queen is not "movie accurate", a fact that seems to be criticized by some toy collectors, evidenced mainly by the fact that this one has 6 arms; the location of the tail is somewhat strange as it seems to come out of its torso, rather than its lower back; and Last but not least, its size which is not too impressive, being perhaps an inch or two taller than say the scorpion or mantis aliens even though it stands upright, unlike the movie version which stands more like a T-rex. Personally, however, I love this figure. I don't mind that it has 6 arms. I actually dig it, and the tail is so much fun to use that I can overlook its weird placement. Moreover, I reckon making a bigger version like the playset one would've meant a higher cost so I get it, and you even get a cool little accessory. My only gripe about the " Special Deluxe Queen", and the only reason why I wouldn't give it 5 stars is the fact that the inner jaw is constantly comming out, whether you are playing with the tail-whipping action feature or simply posing the figure, the inner jaw is always showing up like an uninvited guest. I truly wish they'd made it retractible.   by HAYL1311 |
