The K9 Corps! LOTS of Pics!

Back in 2005, Lanard released a very unique 1:6 series called the K9 Corps! Large figures that most shared parts but were original and quite decent sculpts. The purpose was to have a totally different concept and to get youngsters into 1:6 collecting, whether that happen is not known but fans and collectors alike such as I will remember the fun time collecting these anthropomorphic canines! I got the two deluxe figures Taurus and Davis @ K-Mart locally and the rest @ K-B Toys.com (when they were still around, I remember that box they came in, it was huge!) and I got the bonus Lanard guy @ My local Walgreens. I am very thankful that I have the entire set as I have them all except the vehicle that was a tank with the same figure of Magum that I was not interested in. Here is some pics of ALL of the characters in the series!

The Good Guys!

Magnum!





Eclipse!





Rabid Fang!





Bull Dozer





General Taurus!





Dr. Davis Elliot!




The Bad Guys!

Malice!





Greyslash!




Each character came with a special bio card and even a special Video CD!






Group Shot!


Bonus character I got to go with them a few years later!

Ultra Corps. S.U.B.

I remember seeing these guys a while back ! they are a great set of figures Brandon, fantastic mate

Greyslash looks very much like he was inspired by the Werewolves in the film Dog Soldiers! 

Cool, thanks Dal!

You know, you could be right. He does make one awesome Werewolf indeed!

Like you say, those are really unique! I've never seen anything like them before. They're strange, but I like them!

Thanks! Oh indeed they are and yes you could do that  

Excellent action figures, Brandon!   

what a great toy line for youngsters and adult collectors! It's certainly something different than the norm for 1:6 action figures. The trend with toy manufacturers these days seems to be leaning away from the usual war toys that we all recognize.

I remember seeing an article about these whacky K9 creations a few years ago, it's a pity they're not available in the UK. What I like about 'Lanard' toys is they're very affordable (cheap). I've got about 3/4 S.U.B figures and about 24 (it might be more) other 'Ultra Corps' troops, including a couple of early 'version 1' figures.

I had to pass 6 Ultra Corps figures last week at a boot sale, I had run out of money. The latest figures have very nice head sculpts, some are soft squashy heads and some have hard heads. The weapons that come with 'Ultra Corps' figure sets are pretty good, they are well detailed and can be used with vam/Joe and MAM, they can also be custom painted   

Dr. Davis Elliot has a good head sculpt! He's probably the creator of these war dogs!.
