Aliens and Marines Swarm Pack - Exclusive Figures for the Alien Playset Toys

In association with Amazon.com


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not what I was expecting... but still decent
I got these with the playset that corresponds with these figures. I picked up three packages of these at once because of one specific line "randomly assorted" in the product description. While that is true for these packages, it's not like they're different from what's in the playset. I think the playset actually has ALL the figures in it, making it rather pointless to buy this unless you want a huge amount of them and you need extra. While, I think getting extra was a good idea, I did not need three boxes of these.

The figures are pretty decent quality, they're very similar to "army men" in style. It's a single figure of imovable plastic on a large plastic base. Nothing is colored in on the figures. There are two marine and two alien figures per pack. 2 out of the 3 packs I bought were the same. I think these would be great to use for the Aliens RPG, even though that's a really rare Core Rule book these days, but these would be the perfect figure supplement for that.

Basically if you just wanted to have all the figures to display on the Playset then all you need to get is the playset. There are a lot of figures in the playset, but I think maybe an additional box or two would really round it out better. If you're trying to create a serious army then you'll love getting these additional boxes along with the playset.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Alien Swarm pack for gaming
The plastic that these marines are made from is a semi soft plastic.. For a long time I have been a fan of the colonial marines and have wanted some USCM figs for gaming. Since getting the old Lead figures USCM is very hard these days, I decided to get one of these swarm boxes. When I got my box I opened it and found two marines and two aliens in it.
The marines are soft plastic and had plastic soldier army men bases. But they had very little mold lines on them since. This was a plus since removing mold lines from soft plastic is a pain if you don't have a good file and sharp knife.

I cut off the plastic army men bases and mounted them on rounded gaming bases with glued on metal grating on it so it looked like the marines where standing on grating in a colony. I then painted them up for table top war gaming. Since then I have bought two more boxes of Alien Swarm Packs and nearly completed my USCM Squad and have a nice swarm of aliens based I am using also in wargameing.

My only complaint with these miniatures is they are made out of soft plastic and the size. If the marines could be made in 28 mm scale they would be much better. But I don't mind I really like my finish marine models and when they are not being used for gaming they are on display on my shelf.

But if you are looking for some USCM figures to use in table top war gaming and a slightly bigger size for the models is not a problem, then these Alien Swarm Packs are what you are looking for.
