Alpha Blanx and figure kits by Go Native Toys

[the_Archivist]

So I've know about the Blanx for a couple years now and got one a while back. Like the Pose skeleton he is a bit small and measures just at 3 3/4"

He is very articulated. Very similar to MU but he has an O ring and metal T bar.
He also has ball neck, ball/hinge shoulders, and elbows. He has single hinge ankles and cut swivel wrists. His knees are an interesting mix of a double hinge with the upper hinge also being a ball.

I also noticed on their website they offer 4" figure kits
Go Native Toys webstore

The kits they offer are:
Grey Alien
Werewolf
Gorilla
Bugguy
Male zombie
Adam (from the Bible)
a monkey similar to monkeys in a barrel
and 3 different Zombie soldiers

I remember those. While they're intended to be sculpted over they look pretty lame as-is.

Might be a good option for Gorilla Grodd.

Nevermind:
The "Gorilla" is a 3 piece kit that is 2 7/8 inches tall, he is 1/18th scale.
He is separated at the shoulders. No base. $30

It looks like all of those (in the linked photo) are just solid kits, is that right?

 

[K-Tiger]

Yup.


The heads could probably work on actual action figures.

 

[Dropshipbob]

Too bad, I really dig that bug guy.

Probably wouldn't take to much work to make them articulated.

If you click on the link you can see their arms are separate pieces.

 

[Dropshipbob]

Yeah, saw that. I was hoping those were the pegs for articulation points.

 

[K-Tiger]

Some lend them selves to articulation better than others. The damaged stahlhelms, side and field caps are probably the most useful bits.

A better Grodd would probably be the ImagiNext Grodd or the Chap Mei/Animal Planet Gorilla. If you want Grodd to be really big the NECA Planet of the Apes Gorilla looks good too.

I guess I'll post this here as well.

Blanx Beta is now being offered at BBTS for the super amazing price of $17.

They did mention on their website that they may start a Kickstarter campaign to release the other figures. We will see, I guess.
