Mantis Alien (Aliens (Kenner)) Review

Mantis Alien
Aliens (Kenner) (Kenner)this figure wasn't the best out of the toy line. this figure wasn't the best out of the toy line.very little articulation was put in this figure it has a recycled action feature so no points for originallity personaly I think this figure could have used a second attack feature like a shooting second mouth also the alien lacks a tail another dissapointment seeming as an alien tail would make this a much better creature. The arms can't bend and I wish they hadnt made the neck so thin (it looks rather goofy). Another problem is the color scheme the green on it was fine but the silver what alien has a silver skin tone ? Aliens are supposed to be stealthy and I'm pretty sure silver doesn't do camoflauge any good. the foot design was also a minor complaint they personally to me don't look very alien like. however a few posetive things do make it better than the Gorilla Alien from the same toyline like the hands(or claws or whatever a mantis has) the hands were spiked I like that because the gorilla can't really grip another figure but the mantis alien can easily pin hold or hit another figure. overrall the toy is an ok figure it had room for improvment but the mantis concept combined with an alien was a cool idea like I said earlier a recycled action feature and a not so great paint scheme kinda brings down the fun but if you have may mantis aliens or other aliens from the toy line you could probably have fun with the toy.
