Rounding out the set of Outer Space Men Cosmic Creators Edition figures, Red Devil Mystron
is one of the best of the bunch. The four figures are indeed stunning
creations, but the 200-set run failed to sell out - we're almost a year
after its launch, and they're still available for their original price.
The advent of lower-run figures like these has resulted in toys made
specifically for toy collectors, which is a twist on the hobby having
been tracking down parts of a shared cultural experience. This is art
for art's sake, and thankfully creator Mel Birnkrant redecorated his
creation in a rather spiffy way. [ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
The Four Horsemen's Scratch & Dent Sale for damaged packaging Outer Space Men figures starts on Friday at 3:00 PM Eastern time. Some orders (including mine) have seemingly not been shipped from the previous sale in February, so be prepared for a potential slight wait on these.
They boast prices up to 50% off which ain't bad. Good luck!
Generally
speaking, my love for my action figures increases with time. We spend
time watching TV or writing reviews, or I have to carry them around from
one home to the next. For all of their faults, I usually love them.
With White Star Metamorpho I've come away from this set (and
indeed the bulk of the 2013 offerings for this line) quite disappointed.
This set was blown out at reduced prices and practically given away
due to the 200-piece run being unable to sell itself, it looks as if the
White Star line won't necessarily ever be completed, and unless you're a
customizer these things are kind of a dud. They exist, sure, but
they're probably the least interesting figures in the entire run of
close to 80 different figures. [ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
