Operation Aliens

For the longest time I thought this was a myth but all the signs were there.The Kenner action figures , the jigsaw puzzles the lunch box's....all about Aliens all aimed at kids. Why would such things exist....sure Kenner had a was know to make toy from movie licences from movies not for kids....but Aliens.

We it turns out there was an attempt at an animated series called Operation Aliens. 




Now details on the show are pretty slim but from what was gathered it would have been in the vain of G.I Joe meets Creepy Crawlers . Every week Ripley, Hicks and the rest of the marines would take on a new and even more deadly version of the xenos. While chances are It would have been cheesey as all hell I would have loved to wake up Saturday morning's and see an Aliens Cartoon. The pilot had been made but so far has escaped fans however some screen shots from the show did make it online.




And yes you can see in the 3rd box at the bottom Hicks giving an Alien a fucking roundhouse kick. Fuck yeahe. 
My hope is that a time will come when someone does track down this lost relic of forgotten Aliens history.
If its good or cringe worthy well I guess that remains to be seen.
