The Kharn are alien creatures that were discovered on the moon after an asteroid collided with it. The Kharn come in three different classes. The Brute class is know for their power and destruction. The Drone class are used for basic labor and combat. The Synthoid class is able to transform.
The Kharn were released in an exclusive line made for the Dollar Tree Stores in 2020. There were 3 figures and 2 accessory sets made for the first wave.
Cesare Borgia is a real historical figure and was a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He shows up in Assassin’s Creed games frequently as a villain to Ezio.
This figure was part of a two pack set in the line being produced by Jazwares but was eventually cancelled. This is the second time Cesare Borgia has been made into a 1:18 scaled action figure. I was able to obtain a rare pre-production piece to add to my collection.
The Cyclops is a single eyed purply-pink generic alien looking thing.
Socket Poppers was the brand name distributed by ERTL in the early 1990s. This line was also marked in Europe as Connectors by Matchbox and Giotochi Perez in Italy. The basic concept was that all the figures could mix-n-match arms legs and heads. They can be found on Ebay listed under Socket Poppers or Connectors
The cyclops has a fantastic sculpt and looks very alien-like. The head is killer good though. One big O’le eye in the middle, individual teeth and fangs, ears similar to a swamp creature, and I really like the derpy expression it is giving off with its tongue hanging out.
Paint:
His paint applications are pretty good. The base of the figure is a light colored purple plastic with a light dry brush of darker purple on the torso, dark purple splotches on the arms and face, and a fading dark purple up the feet and legs.
Articulation and construction:
It has 5 Areas of articulation and the body is made of a very hard and durable plastic and the arms, legs, and head are a softer plastic so that they can all be removed and switched around.
Swivel neck
Swivel shoulders
Swivel hips
Accessories:
None
Size and scale:
The Cyclops is shorter than a Boss Fight Studio VHACK Blank . He can fit in pretty much any 3 3/4″-4″ alien based establishment.
Final thoughts:
I love this figure. The whole figure is just bizarre and a little derpy.
Morn is a Lurian cargo pilot that is a regular customer of Quarks on Star Trek’s Deep Space Nine.
Morn’s Deep Space Nine action figure was released in 1993 by Playmate’s Toys. This figure is still pretty cheap on Ebay.
As far as categorizing this figure and line in The Archive I will enter them under the Alien Supplemental line which has a bunch of different aliens from all types of properties.
Morn has a decent sculpt and looks like a big alien wearing clothes appropriate for a space port. The details are pretty soft. The head is pretty good though and I really like the expression he is giving off.
Paint:
His paint applications are pretty basic. Almost all of the figure is colored plastic and the only paint used on the body is some minor details on the jacket and gloves.
Articulation and construction:
He sports 7 Areas of articulation and made of a very hard and durable plastic. Probably why it has lasted 30+ years.
Swivel neck
Swivel shoulders
Single hinge elbows
Swivel V-hips
Single hinge knees
Accessories:
Morn comes with a bunch of random orange pieces that kind of look like weird rune stones.
Size and scale:
Morn is much taller than a Boss Fight Studio VHACK Blank but not too bulky. He can fit in pretty much any 3 3/4″-4″ alien based establishment.
Final thoughts:
It’s an okay figure. Won’t be used much other than a random alien in the background.
Silurian are a species of reptilians that exist in the Dr. Who Universe. They first appeared during season 7 of the show. The are from Earth and had gone into a hibernation state, which is why no-one was aware of them.
The Silurian figure was released in the third wave of figures in 1998. I got my figure in 2020 from Ebay. If you are interested in getting one yourself, the Silurian and other Dapol Dr. Who figures can be found using this Ebay link.
As far as categorizing this figure and line in The Archive I will enter them under the Alien Supplemental line which has a bunch of different aliens from all types of properties.
The Silurian has sculpted “scales” on its whole body with some blobish areas on its chest and back which I am not really sure what those are for. The details are very soft including the head sculpt. Yeah its an alien but the head looks like it could double as a Lego brick.
Paint:
His paint applications are pretty basic. The brown parts are all colored plastic and the only paint used on the body is the scruff around its neck and its toes. The head only painted the eyes solid and a red dot on its forehead, which I think is also an eye.
Articulation and construction:
He sports 7 Areas of articulation and made of a very hard and durable plastic. Probably why it has lasted 30+ years.
Swivel neck
Swivel peg and hinge shoulders
Single hinge elbows
Swivel V-hips
Single hinge knees
Accessories:
This figure is around 30 years old now and I got it second hand off Ebay so I did not get any accessories with mine. Not Really sure they came with any though.
Size and scale:
The Silurian is almost exactly the same height as a Boss Fight Studio VHACK Blank. He can fit in pretty much any 3 3/4″-4″ alien based establishment.
Final thoughts:
It’s an okay figure. Won’t be used much other than a random alien in the background.
