Article Summary

Mondo launches a deluxe Aliens soft vinyl set featuring the rare Mantis Xenomorph design from the 1992 Kenner line.
Set includes a 10.5” Mantis Alien, articulated Marine Hicks figure, bazooka, missile, and a Facehugger accessory.
Acid Blood variant limited to only 500 pieces, celebrating Alien Day 2025 with exclusive collectibles for fans.
Mantis Alien figure features detailed sculpting, extendable inner jaw, and classic attack gimmicks from the toy era.

In the early 1990s, Kenner launched the Aliens toy line, transforming the R-rated horror franchise into a surprisingly successful action figure series aimed at kids. Debuting in 1992, the line featured some wild and interesting takes on the iconic Xenomorphs, with variations like the Bull Alien, Snake Alien, and Scorpion Alien. Each of these beauties was designed with its own unique attack gimmicks and animalistic designs. Rather than strictly sticking to the terrifying designs of the films, Kenner leaned into colorful, exaggerated sculpts and heroic human characters like Space Marine versions of Ripley, Hicks, and Bishop.

This popular toy line still has some pretty iconic Xenomorph designs that have stayed alive through games and comics. One of those deadly Xenos was the Mantis, which is now back and bigger than ever with Mondo's new Aliens Deluxe Limited Edition Soft Vinyl figure set. This new Acid Blood release is limited to only 500 pieces and features a 10.5" tall Mantis with a 5" tall Colonial Marine Hicks. Hicks will come with a rocket launcher with shooting projectile and a Facehugger is included. Fans can witness this glorious fight right now and purchase this Aliens set right from Mondo for $200.
