@@Gappasaurus MIB showed at least one pic of the other Kong toy with the tiny screw hole. It's barely visible. I'd rather have that with the other holes that are already there, than a screw sticking out of him. Plus, you can easily cover the hole with green stuff/modeling putty
Oh man The Corp. So thats what the toyline is called. I wll say this: you will never find a better line of action figures to feed to your toy dinosaurs
Honestly, would've been pretty neat if Lanard also did the other MV toy lines. Having giant figures of Godzilla and the other Titans that would also be compatible with Lanard's other lines would be pretty dope to any young kaiju fan.
I loved the corps toys when I was younger! I instantly recognized the figure designs as soon as I saw them in this video and it’s so crazy that this company made Kong stuff as well, I may have to get some of it now lol
Lanard is a pretty neat toyline. Their Alien line was pretty exciting, then they brought in Predator. Not the highest in quality but not the lowest either, just right in both quality and play value. Plus they make great accessories for other toys in that scale, seen some people make some cool builds and backdrops for photography.
You gotta hand it to them. Modern "hyper-realistic" toys is a tall order. Taking it to the extreme that the world's been doing for 2 decades was a mistake! Toys are meant to be toys. They are best when they look a little bit like toys and feel a little bit like toys. Lanard seems to know this, and even believe it; they've bucked the trend, and sacrificed their own reputation, having been relegated to a 3rd rate toymaker. But to me, they have the right idea! 👍

@@zygoclast6047 ahaha! 😂 ...Okay, so it may be simplified due to budget restraints, but a accidentally or on purpose, it is the right idea to me. And for so many good reasons!

Perhaps you have some vested interest in denying that reinventing the wheel is a pointless effort.
@@zygoclast6047 ... ...Oh, and another reason why you're wrong about these companies with low sculpt realism being beneath you is because sculpt is the easy part; Its working in the functional joints that really runs up the R&D budget. But, keep lying to yourself that they only produce toys that look like toys on accident, because they're too cheap and dumb to know how to sculpt. 👍
I agree! The Monsters Exist scene is the best moment in the monsterverse. John Goodman really delivers the seriousness of the world we too are learning exists. His tone when talking about the USS Lawton adds so much weight and mystery to who or what it was he saw. Never fails to Send Chills
The Core is actually such a sick play line. I had so many as a kid. The articulation was great, and they had a bunch of real-world guns. And super affordable so I could get a set each time we went to Walmart.
That mystery screw was to hold Kong in his packaging to make it harder to steal from his box. Not sure why people kept it, it doesn’t hold him together, lol.
I have a friend who will go absolutely FERAL at any mention of Skull Island. Loves it to death. If I could afford to ship things to Argentina I'd send him one of those big Kongs just to listen to his head explode.
I'm a 3.75"-scale G.I. Joe collector and nowadays it's difficult to get G.I. Joe vehicles anymore. Hasbro has discontinued the 1/18th scale and revamped into the 1/12th scale, so very few vehicles. Vehicles from the 1/18th lines are now on after market with crazy prices. These "generic and realistic" military vehicles by Lanard could be my best option: Get ones that resemble the actual G.I. Joe vehicles, slap on some G.I. Joe sticker markings, and good to go. They're cheaper, too! Vehicles for Cobra may still be harder, though, having more fantastical vehicles than the Joes.
I’ll admit I have a soft spot for the Skull Crawler (damn you scalpers and all the good shit being Walmart exclusive) but whats even funnier is the controversy on that particular fella and some other toys that were flat out traced in a few Monsterverse comics!
I kinda wish Lanard could get the license to make some the toys for the Godzilla Vs Kong sequel so we can get a giant 18 inch modern day Kong and a giant 18 inch of Scar King (the alleged name for the Kong we see in the GxK teaser. We mostly likely 99.999% won’t though as Playmates does not like competition apparently.
If Playmates doesn't like competition then maybe they should make toys that are actually competitive instead of making cheap, low effort dollar store quality garbage. Some of their Gvk & GxK toys are decent, but a lot of them are very hollow and lifeless, especially their Godzillas. I can tell Kong is their specialty..but man they do Godzilla dirty A LOT. I have no clue why they insist on putting him in all these awkward poses and put no detail on his body. But I also heard a rumor that NECA apparently lost the Godzilla license because Playmates didn't want to compete with them in the Godzilla market like they did in the ninja turtles market.
If this kong figure was perfectly scaled with the humans, he would be 4ft 8.4in Edit: yes, i did the math The figures of the people are 3.25 inches tall so you do 18 ÷ 3.25 = 5.5, then you multiply by around the average human height so 6ft, so 6×5.5=33, so monke is 33ft tall. For him to be 104 ft you add 71, then you reverse the math, so you do: 104 ÷ 6 = 17.3 then multiply by 3.25 so that would be 56.3 inches. Then divide by 12. So: 56.3 ÷ 12 = 4.69, round to the nearest tenth and thats 4.7, which is 4ft 8.4in so if scaled accurately, kong would be the size of an eight year old. And the helicopter would almost fit in his hand. Why did i waste my time no ones gonna read this.
As soon as I saw the figures on the boat this was the first thing I thought of: "You know there's lots of things you expect in war: carnage, sleepless nights but what they don't prepare you for is the incessant use of Fortunate Son".
I’d like to imagine if they ever expanded upon this line, we could get sets like: Chapman with a Spore Mantis, Mason Weaver and Slivko with a Sker Buffalo, and the best of all: A giant Skullcrawler (the big one) with a rubber tail you can curl around Kong so you can reenact the fight in the movie while accompanied by Hank Marlow with his Katana.
i've had a toy raft that looked similar, could float in the bath. i lost it, and i used to use it when i was a kid. it is one of my childhood memories, thanks for letting me remember that.

Honestly if I had this as a kid...I'd pretend this is some alternate history as strike force was there during Vietnam for monarch for special missions and such as one of the characters repainted for this line also has technically an old version as if he's a veteran
Hey MIB I like you’re work it was kinda Perfect that you uploaded this video today because ma and my dad are marathoning every monsterverse movie and today me and my dad are watching kong skull island with Mac and cheese.
My fave Monsterverse film is the dumbness of Godzilla vs. Kong. I really enjoyed that sucker, gleefully vibing with its nutty monster flavor. Also, I fully support the multi-ape Lanard shared universe, and I want to see Samjack and the Rock duke it out!
Oh Lanard… 😌 The original o-ring Corps! line that competed with the 80s/90s Joes had soooo many cool figures, vehicles & accessories, plus tons of spinoff lines, from astronauts to police & firemen to an all-girl adventure series to knockoff Power Rangers to Road Warrior rejects on rollerblades (not a joke 😆). I bowed out when they switched to the T-crotch figures, but they _are_ still cool 😎
I don't know if I'd say it's my favorite Monsterverse movie but Skull Island is a lot of fun and I almost always find myself watching it for a bit if I catch it airing on TV.
14:23 I got that exact gorilla for Christmas 2023 and I thought it looked a bit like 2005 kong or 2017 kong so I basically just called it that instead of “big boss gorilla” 🤷
I still have all those Kong Skull Island toys for my brother when he was 9 years old. And Yes even the Rampage Toys too. I did a play time of Kong fighting George & All the other Rampage Monster.......There really fun to play with too.
11:30 Holy crappola!! I had that helicopter as a kid and completely forgot about it. I don't think I even knew it was from that godzilla line, even though I had other toys from it.
you could use the playmates movie monsters series (the equivalent to the bandai movie monster series figures) skull island kong figure as the lanard kong figure. on a side note, you could use the battle roar skarr king GVK battle roar kong figures as an gorlla and orangutan figures for the lanard jumanji animal toyline since most of them have voice boxes making them roar. Or instead you could use GVK battle roar kong and battle roar skarr king as animals for your beast man figure to control along side the rest of the lanard jumanji animal figures.
I used Buyee once for some Ultraman stuff. They charged me for shipping, which was fine, but then they split the order, shipped one item for the full shipping price, and charged me for shipping again for the rest. they did refund the second shipping charge when I complained, but it still made me uncomfortable using them again.
The Jakks Pacific toy line for King of the Monsters made some really strange decisions; a 6" King Ghidorah and Rodan but no Godzilla to go with them? Just the 12" Godzilla all by his lonesome! At least they released the little "vs." battle packs to make up for it, but I do wonder if the King Ghidorah/Rodan figures would have sold better if there was a 6" Godzilla to go with them.
Oh, yeah. I remember my local store ended up having giant Kongs sitting right next to the Rampage's George on the toy shelves and I thought it was funny since they were obviously made off the same mold
There's a RUclips series called Spector Creative where they talk about the production period from concept to shelf and how toys often are not movie accurate because they're made in advance of the movies. That's probably why the, uh, _pteranodon thing_ has an inaccurate name and squid-like appendages.
Lanard's 18" Kong fits in really nicely with the 18" and 14" Mezco Kongs. And while it is significantly taller, it doesn't look bad paired with the X-PLUS Skull Island Kong or the Mcfarlane King Kong. Fingers crossed, Lanard at least continues with more kaiju focused toys.
These toys remind me so much of the whacky over the top action toys from the 90s and early 20s. Had I had these as a kid, i would have played the hell out of them :D
If I remember correctly the Pterodactylus is a completely different monster from the Leafwing in the Monsterverse though they're canonically related species and it came from the prequel comics.
5:29 You're talking about me, aren't you? No, I'm not gonna correct you on this one, since Lanard was the one that fucked up, since it's supposed to be a Leafwing.
I didn't even know all these other toys besides the big Kong even existed. But then again the only Skull Island merch I currently own are the Playmates Kong that my wife snagged for me and the Funko Pop with the helicopter.
Ah yes Lannard, I collected the Alien ones and it blew my mind the WeYu scientists/Mercs and supposed Marines were just the Corps figures 😆 it came full circle cause I actually had some Corps figures as a kid. Just was not as savvy about company names and practices back then
Godzilla:you saved me why
Kong:hmmmmm chai tea

I can remember having a lot of the corp toys growing up
and the cray thing is that the skullcrawler from the godzilla vs kong toyline looks so much better
The helicopter is to scale with the massive kong figure
It like when marvel made all their licensed comics canon to the main universe, but with bootleg gijoe instead of the real one.
I like Kong Skull Island waaay more than the Peter Jackson King Kong movie. Maybe because it doesn't feel overly long
5:29 You're talking about me, aren't you? No, I'm not gonna correct you on this one, since Lanard was the one that fucked up, since it's supposed to be a Leafwing.
I got that Skullcrawler from a bargain bin years ago and never knew it was from a set, interesting.
I didn't even know all these other toys besides the big Kong even existed. But then again the only Skull Island merch I currently own are the Playmates Kong that my wife snagged for me and the Funko Pop with the helicopter.
Ah yes Lannard, I collected the Alien ones and it blew my mind the WeYu scientists/Mercs and supposed Marines were just the Corps figures 😆 it came full circle cause I actually had some Corps figures as a kid. Just was not as savvy about company names and practices back then
