This latest limited edition Xenomorph Mantis Alien soft vinyl figure seems to be the answer to the prayers of many Alien fans. With Alien: Earth set to hit TV screens this summer, the timing for the newest Alien collectible feels just right. At the moment, fans of the ferocious Mantis Alien have a stellar pre-order opportunity. For $200 on the Mondo shop site, fans can add one of the most blood-chilling death dealers of the Alien franchise to their fierce Xenomorph collections.
In fact, the exciting news is that Mondo plans to bring in a new era of Alien collectibles in the spirit of Kenner Aliens action figures. Although NECA is coming in hot with the Aliens line of action figures of its own, the new collection delights from Mondo are bound to be a hit. No doubt, the Alien franchise is among the most densely packed horror franchises, and a fresh take on Xenomorphs only adds to the dark charm of its diversity.
On this high note, let’s check out the latest masterpiece that this tasteful toy maker has decided to spoil Alien fans with. The company has decided to start off on solid ground with the iconic Xenomorph – the Mantis Alien from the Aliens: Swarm mini-comic. It certainly makes for a decent companion to share the joy of diving into the upcoming upgrade of Alien: Rogue Incursion with.
As a callback to Aliens: Space Marines comics from the 1990s, fans will definitely enjoy the spectacular detail that goes into the Mantis Alien figure. From the vivid green color to Mondo’s signature design style, this vinyl gem pays a proper tribute to this Xenomorph and checks a lot of boxes from a collector’s perspective. After all, Xenomorph typology is impressive, and each variation of Xenomorph commands respect.
Facts About the Mantis Alien Soft Vinyl Figure
To keep the planned Sakura variant company in the impending hostile alien takeover, the first Xenomorph to pop up is the Acid Blood variant. This would solve the mystery behind the vibrant green hue of this terrifyingly charming collectible. It would be a good idea to watch out for this deadly mantis-looking extraterrestrial insect – one would hardly want a bite on the head from one. Although, with how many fans of the franchise delight in playing as a Xenomorph, there seems to be no cause for concern.
This deluxe limited edition also features:
- Articulated Arms, Mouth, and Head
- A Green Attachable Facehugger Accessory Figure
Though these limited features might not seem like much for such a creature, the sheer size of this collectible more than makes up for it. Despite its soft vinyl appearance, this figure is built to kill, as it features a massive 10.5-inches in height.
Thankfully, this isn’t a real Xenomorph. One could only imagine the damage that this giant head-munching space insect is capable of inflicting. In fact, perhaps a space marine could give us a quick lesson on how to beat this type of Xenomorph just in case a swarm ensues someday.
Speaking of Space Marines, Look – It's Corporal Hicks!
In addition to the feisty Mantis Alien, another action figure is here to say hello. Corporal Hicks is reporting for duty and about to get this alien cleansing party started.
His articulated figure is sure to put up a real fight against the massive maneater. That’s bad news for those Mantis Aliens who have missed out on the memo about coming in peace. More so, the figure of Corporal Hicks isn’t the only treat that fans are in for. No space marine would ever go into battle without some serious firepower.
Along with the character figure, fans will find weaponry that can make this battle legendary enough to offset an alien infestation – a bazooka. Space marines may not always have all the ammo they need, but Corporal Hicks does stand a fighting chance – the included reloadable missile accessory makes sure of that.
With the big mean bazooka locked and loaded, fans can have their very own apocalyptic battle between humankind’s best and brightest and the Xenomorph with the wit of a mantis.
In the meantime, dedicated fans of the Alien franchise might want to move faster than the pace of Xenomorph chomping if they want to snag this collectible all for themselves. This delight has a limited production of 500 units, and it pays to place a pre-order before the last Mantis Alien is gone. May your collection be well on its way to a lovely mantis-themed Xenomorph infestation.
