It appears Australia’s largest toy retailer, Toyworld, have re-stocked Lanard Toys ALIEN Collection series toys. Available here once again are the 7 inch Special Edition items:  Drone, Warrior and Runner Xenomorphs. Each lurid and wonderful item inspired by ALIEN comics and other media is available online for Au$27.99 (plus postage). This is the 2nd ’round for this set of Lanard ALIEN figures appearing in Australia’s Toyworld; and it’s a welcome return. We don’t see much in the way of ALIEN content released here. You won’t find ’em at TARGET. They just never get stocked. You’ll have to rely on specialist stores or importers to get anything related to ALIEN stuff in this country – and it’s ALWAYS a lot more expensive. While it’s great to see this series back at Toyworld, I still hope to see the recently released Glow in the Dark interpretations also be released at Toyworld at some point. I have had assurances that will happen. Eventually. Sort of. Maybe… Who knows at this rate, right? Anyway, I’ve had this trio of Special Edition toys for some time now and reviewed them. Grab a set for your kids. After all, these are intended as toys for children and not just fake toys for collectors to hoard in pristine boxes and deny their kids the opportunity to even touch them. Give your kids some Lanard Love, I say. Give ’em some face ripping space monsters of their own they can cherish dearly. These things are great!
