Scorpion Alien (Card not Mint), Aliens by Kenner 1992
Scorpion Alien (Kenner, 1992)
Exploding Action Feature • Vintage Sealed Figure
From the acid-bleeding depths of the xenomorph horde comes one of Kenner’s most iconic beasts—the Scorpion Alien, a standout from the 1992 Aliens toy line. With its terrifying exploding torso feature, scorpion‑like limbs, and translucent carapace, this figure redefined what it meant to bring horror into the action figure aisle.
Forged at the peak of Kenner’s 90s power run, the Scorpion Alien wasn’t just a toy—it was a crossover masterpiece, merging Ridley Scott’s dread-drenched universe with James Cameron’s militarized nightmare vision of LV-426. In a time before NECA or modern hyper-detailing, this was the figure that captured the imagination of kids and collectors alike, channeling the Aliens mythos into a format you could blast, pose, and proudly display.
Why This Figure Still Rules:
-
Dynamic Exploding Gimmick – Built-in chest burst destruction was pure 90s toy innovation.
-
Bright, Biomechanical Aesthetic – A scorpion‑styled reimagining of the Xenomorph with wild, otherworldly coloring that only Kenner could pull off.
-
Canon–Adjacent Cool – Though never appearing on screen, this figure expanded the Alien universe with its own terrifying bio-lore.
-
Kenner Legacy – Released during their golden era of reinterpreting R-rated properties for kid-friendly chaos (see Robocop, Terminator, Predator), this figure is a symbol of creative freedom in toy design.
