Review: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men Cosmic Creators Mel Birnkrant Edition Red Devil Mystron Action Figure

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.

Outer Space Men Scratch & Dent Sale Starts Friday

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!

Review: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men White Star Metamorpho Action Figure

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.
