Today I expanded the bootleg section of HIDEOUS PLASTIC to include some rare Chinese made knock-offs of Kenner’s 1990s ALIENS colonial marines. Several carded and opened Samples of ARMY HEROES FORCE PEACE KEEPER action figures have now been added to the lengthy, growing list of weird and wonderful ALIENS bootleg toys and figures. During the 1990s, Kenner released a range of popular ALIENS toys which have since been bootlegged by various unknown manufacturers. Today’s addition includes liberally unlicenced interpretations of toy versions of Ripley, Bishop, Hicks and other popular ALIENS colonial marines characters. Confront the very Manly lt. Ripley! Witness the ultimate fate of Kenner’s USCM! Marvel as they are abducted and conscripted into the ranks of Dollar Tree style ARMY HEROES FORCE PEACE KEEPERS generic troops!
er… yup. I kid you not.
Thank you Marc Cawiezel and Brian D. for your kind permission to use these images.

Thanks again for the write up on these! I’m glad that I could find some opened specimens and contribute photos to the site. Even 25 or so years later, what weird and wonderful discoveries this toy line keeps uncovering!
Nice write up. The whole world of bootlegs is wild.
