Lanard, maker of "The Corps!", will be relasing their first ever licensed line this year!
They have the master toy license for the upcoming "Kong: Skull Island" film. While all of the vehicles appear to be reissues of previous "The Corps!" releases, and the main figures only have new actor likeness heads, the real beauty of the line lies in the creatures of Skull Island.
I plan on getting at least 6 of the spiders, 6 of the pterodactyls, 2 of the weird dinos and the full sized Kong.
Full line details:

Interesting. They will go with their not widely released two cool Corps! sets:

Well I didn't know about those either. I gotta take some time this weekend to see what future new movies I want to get excited about.

I was at Walmart today and they are in the process of resetting their toy section.
They had the planogram papers taped above each section. The "Kong" line will share a 4' section with "The Corps!' with "Corps!" getting over half of the shelf/peg space. The "Kong" line was shown to have 3 pegs for the "Creature Encounter" sets (spider/jeep, pterodactyl/boat, dino/shed) with a double high stacking of the helicopter/large boats on the shelf directly underneath and the giant Kong to the left partially underneath the pegged "Corps!" products. The entire bottom shelf was earmarked for larger boxed "The Corps!" sets as was the rest of the top shelf and pegboard. Stores with larger toy departments might have more facings for these products but this particular Walmart only has a tiny toy section.
The planogram was dated for implementation on 1/16 so we very well might be seeing the new stuff VERY soon!

Looks there is a reason the current Corps! sets are on closeout! A few days ago, Lanard hinted to me in an email that they will have USA distro for those sets in 2017. I guess they already had everything lined up!
-
Wow, great news. My pegs are so clogged right now I am waiting to see stuff that came out last month!
-
I saw the shelf/peg tags today after work.
No product on shelf yet though.
-
Sweet, that is a nice price point too!
-
They are showing up at Walmarts, get em while they are hot!
-
For anyone that is still looking for them, the "Kong: Skull Island" mega-figure is being restocked at Wal-Mart!
-
I really enjoyed the movie. I can see why this stuff is selling out.
-
This line is now (finally) being clearanced at WalMart. I've seen the Kong down to $19

I have seen them as low as $10.
The Creature Encounter sets are $7 and the helicopter and boat are down to $11.
After these are all gone, their "Jurassic Clash" line should start appearing!

For anyone that still needs them or wants more, the clearance mark downs on the Wal-Mart exclusive "Kong: Skull Island" line have gotten another tier lower.
