Friday, June 8th, 2012 by Pixel Dan

It’s time for a Retro Review!

With the new film Prometheus hitting theaters in the U.S. today, I thought it would be fun to take a look at a classic Alien action figure!

So join me for a look at the Alien vs Predator 2-pack released in 1994 from Kenner! Video after the jump!

LOL...I guess I assumed all the fans of the film would refer to them mostly as Xenomorphs. If I didn't, I'd be under attack! ;-)

Yeah, these definitely seem to be the most screen accurate of the Kenner lines, I believe. That's the reason I picked up this set myself.

The Predators have been referred to as the "YautJa" and the "Hish" in Expanded Universe Material, as well.

I love the retro reviews. That was the reason I came to Popculturenetwork so long ago. The lack of new episodes of That New Toy Smell have made my Saturdays less enjoyable. But this is a great reminder. Heck this was mentioned in the second half of the first episode.

Also the Xenomorph only had the smooth translucent head in Alien. In Ailens it had a ridged head and strange blade like bones on their forearms. In Alien3 the Dog Alien had a smooth head, same in AVP. While they had the ridged head in Alien Resturection and AVP Requim.

I've got these figures in my closet right now. I had 'em as a kid, and tracked down some MOC new ones a few months back. These came out just a little too late for me to really appreciate them as I would have when I was 10 or 11 years old.

Awesome! I was the same. I was 12 when this particular set came out, and approaching my "too cool for toys stage." So I completely missed these as a kid. After opening up this set for this video, I'm very much interested in picking up some more. Heh.

i loved these figures growing up i still got them, i love the predators from series two, stalker, spiked tail, and clan leader, you should def do reviews on them, and your right it was weird that they made toys out of these rated " r" movies, but the did that with robocop too
