Did you know that The Outer Space Men
toy line turns 50 this year? It's true! The space race got people
really excited about space and space toys, until we landed on the moon
and everybody got bored. Because of that, the original prototype figure
that led to White Star Mystron was never produced - but we got
little versions of him now for a fairly nice price. If you've been
following these reviews - and I've only got a couple left to write - you
no doubt know that a lot of the early figures share a ton of parts,
which coincided with lower pricing. Everybody won! ...initially. This
Mystron was in a Comic-Con exclusive from 2013, after each figure had a
minimum of 4 or 5 releases in various colors. The higher prices and
reduced paint was sort of a slap in the face. I still bought it - and I
basically like it, even though it'd make a better custom base than a
play or display toy. Also I get to say that I own a White Devil action
figure. [ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
