@@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
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.
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
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! 👍
@@bentonrp After all, it's not as if products are directed towards different demographics or anything silly like that. Of course, when both Lanard and Neca are given the license to an intellectual property, both resultant lines will be directed towards the same buyers. Any reduction of detail in the products will, of course, be due to artistic liberty, and not any ridiculous concepts such as budgetary restrictions. It's such a relief to know that brave revolutionaries such as Lanard, Chap Mei, Jakks Pacific, and others are here to save consumers from the horrors of higher quality materials, greater subject-accuracy, and the like. Indeed, toys are "meant to be toys". That is, the height of a toy's purpose is to evoke the likeness in build and aesthetic character of a toy from the 1980s, the decade from which the loudest, most self-centered, and most infantile voices on the subject coincidentally also seem to hail. Not the 1930s, not the 1880s, and not any other age in the history of toy manufacturing, whose inhabitants would likely bear a similar disdain for your own preferences, but the 1980s. As we all know, it is a stylistically superior decision to cut corners when manufacturing your products. Despite the fact that there are no inherent problems in producing higher-quality products, it is a mistake! Producing cheaper, lower-effort products is a bold political statement! And it is 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! So few toy lines do semi-realistic figures anymore. And though there may be different markets, over articulate hyper realism has many more problems. Not in the field of photorealistic canvasing perhaps, but in the action figure business, definitely ! Whether it be the increased cost, fragility, unnatural appearances from too many joints, variation in extreme detail, unavailability from low production run as well as from their attempt at higher standards, lower output, etc. All my point is, is that there is science to it. And the major industries has turned the market away from that median while trying to innovate. But you could choose not to believe me. 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. 👍
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.
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
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 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
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'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 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.
@Monster Island Buddies 14:45-14:47. The bozos in charge of that website used an image that represents the Universal Resorts theme park ride 'Skull Island: Reign of Kong', which is tied into 'King Kong'[2005], not the MonsterVerse franchise. 🤦♂️
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.
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.
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.
I was not expecting much with this video but I am in stitches lol. Awesome vid!!! I'm new to this channel and I'm loving it. Keep up the great work! Also, that is a freakin sweet mask.
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
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.
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'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.
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
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!
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".
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.
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.
5:33 your kinda right but a pterodactylus is in fact a real creature! It's just like the pteranodon but much, much, much, much, much smaller but hey atleast ya didn't call it a "flying dinosaur"
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.
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 😎
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.
Kong: Skull Island was my favorite of the Monsterverse movies because it was able to just have a bizarre premise and embrace all the cheese and camp along the way while the others were trying to be more serious. It's like someone slammed together a kaiju movie, a 1970's indie war movie, and a big freaking 90's style summer blockbuster. Though, as someone who once had to school around there, I did appreciate King of The Monster how Godzilla was rampaging through Boston and stomping his way through Fenway Park. Makes me wish I saw it at the movie theater that's actually near said park. Anyway I don't exactly remember the Skull Island toys, but the Rampage ones rang a bell. Maybe because it wasn't as well received as a movie no one was scalping the toys. I really don't thinK Wal*Mart can properly handle and exclusive line. Took me forever to get the endtire Scoob! 2-pack figure line, and all I really wanted was Dastardly and Muttley.
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.
the problem of lanard is they keep reusing toys and remaking a real model vehicles without any trademarks and they had been sued on it, filed a lawsuit and forced to pay a hundred million dollars for the intellectual property damages.
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!

As someone who got the giant jakks Pacific Godzilla when it came out. I was very excited about this Kong to go with him
I have that Kong right next to my closet along with that George from rampage one that is the same size as Kong
Kong: Skull Island was my favorite of the Monsterverse movies because it was able to just have a bizarre premise and embrace all the cheese and camp along the way while the others were trying to be more serious. It's like someone slammed together a kaiju movie, a 1970's indie war movie, and a big freaking 90's style summer blockbuster. Though, as someone who once had to school around there, I did appreciate King of The Monster how Godzilla was rampaging through Boston and stomping his way through Fenway Park. Makes me wish I saw it at the movie theater that's actually near said park. Anyway I don't exactly remember the Skull Island toys, but the Rampage ones rang a bell. Maybe because it wasn't as well received as a movie no one was scalping the toys. I really don't thinK Wal*Mart can properly handle and exclusive line. Took me forever to get the endtire Scoob! 2-pack figure line, and all I really wanted was Dastardly and Muttley.
Man, you just unlocked a memory with those corps toys. They are durable af I don't think I ever broke any as a kid.
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.
the problem of lanard is they keep reusing toys and remaking a real model vehicles without any trademarks and they had been sued on it, filed a lawsuit and forced to pay a hundred million dollars for the intellectual property damages.
Gotta agree with your choice of favorite monsterverse movie
You could have the 98' Zilla fight Kong
New subscriber.
You had me a Kong👍
9:23 not crawling in the slightest he is strutting
This comment is totally not related to the video but does anyone else think that minilla just looks like a greasy lizard
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!
