ACTION MASTERS PREDATOR
Like Queen Alien, this is also made by Kenner. It is made of die cast metal and stands on a black support stand. For a fairly small figure, the paint and details are excellent. Predator's head, like Queen Alien's, isn't movable but is removable and like Queen Alien is rubber. Predator wields a machine gun with a removable, rubber turret. His body is a rusty tan color except his loincloth which is red and his armor is a shiny copper color. Predator's head has very nice detail because his hair is painted on very gently and his eyes are solid white which is a bit creepy in person. I truly do love this figure which I purchased along with Queen Alien at a flea market. This figure can be bought for a cheap price on ebay or amazon.
ACTION MASTERS QUEEN ALIEN
Action Masters is a series of action figures created by Kenner. The Queen Alien figure is about two inches tall. It stands on a gray support base and is a die cast metal figure. The Queen's details are very well done for the time this was made which happens to be 1994. Her head is made of stretchy rubber and is removable using a ball-socket joint. Underneath her, are four alien spawn eggs, which contain a baby alien also known as a Face Hugger for all the readers who haven't seen any movie from the Alien saga. The eggs are maroon colored and have a neon green painted slime. Her head is rotatable and is about an inch and a half long. This is a very good figure and can be purchased on ebay or amazon.
PREDATOR: THE WOLF
If you haven't seen any of the Predator movies, the Wolf is the pack leader of the Predators, hence the name Wolf. This Wolf in the picture is made by NECA. It features one shoulder cannon, Predator's main weapon. The paint job on this very fine and the little details make up Wolf, for example, Predator's eyes are two different colors. Another fine little detail on Wolf is his trophy necklace which is made of hemp string and consists of little plastic skulls. Predator has body armor on his shoulders, knees, shins, elbows, and breast. If you notice, his face is battle damaged as one of his fangs is sliced off. One of his weapons, a personal favorite, is his wrist blade. This is an excellent quality figure and I completely recommend buying it. Wolf can be purchased on ebay.
MONSTER IN MY POCKET
Monster In My Pocket began in 1990 by Matchbox. Monsters In My Pocket are little, rubber figures of monsters. At the beginning of its first run, there were eleven series, one and two being the most popular but three was the rarest. Each figure was assigned a point value. Series one was five through twenty five points. Series two was five through thirty and so on. Even though they are called MONSTERS In My Pocket, some figures were spiritual like The Great Beast was a spawn of Satan or Kali, the Indian god. Eventually, they were considered controversial in the United Kingdom. After the figures, other merchandise was made like video games but that's a story for another time. Matchbox was bought by Mattel and Monsters In My Pocket were discontinued. Monsters In My Pocket can still be purchased at ebay.
