Mcfarlane Toys

Hey peoples. Today I'm going to do some of Mcfarlane's toys today. Here it goes.

So last blog I did Neca toys and said next time I would do Mcfarlane. Mcfarlane basically makes toys around the same size, quality, and both do a lot of different horror toys. I currently do not have any Mcfarlane toys but I am hoping to get some for X-mas. One of the things I was hoping to get were the figures they made for John Carpenters The Thing movie. They made two figures and a company called Sota toys did a boxed set that came with a human and the creature turning into a dog. The monsters don't have much articulation but I imagine that is very hard with something as complicated as that and they still are cool figures due to there detail.

I also decided to get the alien they made from Alien Resurrection. They also made the dog alien and that would of been cooler but I guess that one was more popular as it sells on eBay for twice as much money. Everyone says the movies are bad but these are the only figures I have seen made except for Hot Toys and Hasbro.

I have seen eight terminator toys by them so far although they could be more. I have seen 24 different aliens and predator figures and three different statue dioramas from Alien vs Predator.

Another cool thing that they have made was a action figure for Corporal Hicks although it doesn't really look like Michael Bein.



Another company that has made some cool stuff is a Japanese company called Kaiyodo. They have made a alien queen, a drone, a warrior, and a predator. They have some really cool paint apps especially on the aliens with them being transluscent in some places and spray painted black in others and the predator looks wet and slimy like he did just run through a rainforest. The only thing I saw that could have been done better was the inner mouth on the aliens but I guess I'm lucky I got one at all. These come at around a 100 dollars in America.









So thats that. Thanks for the blog ideas but I might need a little help with #7. Bye.
