Review: Onell Design Outer Space Men Gemini Ulstriax - Fugitive from Algol

As far as bang for the buck goes, the amount of parts in the Onell Design crossover OSM Gemini Ulstriax - Fugitive from Algol is pretty solid - and if you buy the matching companion Quallerran figure, it's even better. Not only is this a nicely decorated figure molded in light grey plastic, but Onell Design tossed in some bonus parts - dark red clear weapons of Orbitron are thrown in the bag at no extra charge. This is only the second heavily decorated version of Gemini out of a grand total of seven releases. The main, classic yellow one should be your first purchase and this Onell Design special edition should be your next stop.

Review: The Outer Space Men, LLC Outer Space Men Cosmic Radiation Cyclops Action Figure

Since its rebirth, it seems we're going to be getting a few new Outer Space Men figures like Cosmic Radiation Cyclops. A complete glow in the dark lineup has been teased, but not confirmed - so far this year alone, we've received 5 figures in glow plastic. Interestingly, the non-vintage characters haven't made the transition, nor have the first two years worth of character remakes - but teaser mock-ups make me think we can expect them all next year. I'm kind of glad they're working backwards, as these designs are a little more complex and fun as stand-alone figures... plus they're massive masses of glowing plastic.
For those keeping track at home, the first few Cyclops figures came out in 2012 with the painted one hitting in 2013. It was a gorgeous figure, and the final of four Cyclops figures until now. There's this one, and in January we're told the White Star version will also go on sale.

Fugitive from Algol Revealed - OSM Gemini Ulstriax

Last weekend, the Onell Design store had a "Fugitive from Algol" figure for sale.  Nobody knew what it was, other than probably being Gemini.  Earlier this morning the shipping notices started going out, and the figure was revealed to be OSM Gemini Ulstriax on the Glyos Database.  Cool!

White Star Officially Continues in January

They're coming!  Orbitron, Cyclops, and Gemini White Star figures were previewed - where else? - on the official Outer Space Men Instagram.  Here's the image, which will continue and conclude the set from SDCC and NYCC in 2013.   Unless, of course, they're going to give us an Astrodite to go with it, and I sincerely hope if they do, we see her as a White Star first.

January 2017.

Cosmic Radiation Cyclops - Tonight!

Color me surprised!  The glow-in-the-dark Cosmic Radiation Cyclops will be released tonight at 9:00 PM EST on TheOuterSpaceMen.com.   Pricing is unknown, but do keep in mind there are three other figures which have been previewed that should also be coming soon. 

Also don't forget that the first two Cosmic Radiation figures Gamma X and Colossus Rex are still in stock, along with Colossus Rex 2.0, if you want to snag those and save a few nickels on shipping.

Click here to see if Cyclops is currently available.

White Star Cyclops - Will the Set Be Finsihed This Year?

Apparently we're not done yet - a White Star Cyclops was previewed on the Instagram page just a few hours ago.  Presumably, Gemini and Orbitron can't be far behind which would finish the set.

Tis the season for Cyclops. #outerspacemen #melbirnkrant #actionfigures #spacetoys #sciencefiction #cooltoys #customtoys #futureouterspacemen #alpha7 #astronautilus #colossusrex #cyclops #electron #gammax #gemini #horroscope #inferno #jackasteroid #metamorpho #mystron #ohpromatem #orbitron #terrafirma #xodiac #astrodite #glyos #prototype #testshot #starwars #sofubi

And Gemini Makes Three - Cosmic Radiation Outer Space Men Continue

Seemingly revealing a release pattern, it would seem the entire The Outer Space Men class of 2012 will  be released in glow in the coming week(s).   Courtesy of their Instagram, here's a look at Gemini!
Assuming there is a next batch, it would seem reasonable to believe we'd see a full group of four - either the class of 2011 or 2010.  I'd hope for 2010 first, I really would love to see Astro-Nautilus and Inferno in this format.

Rounding off the 2012 OSM collection will be Gemini Cosmic Radiation. Available soon in the OSM webstore. #outerspacemen #melbirnkrant #actionfigures #spacetoys #sciencefiction #cooltoys #customtoys #futureouterspacemen #alpha7 #astronautilus #colossusrex #cyclops #electron #gammax #gemini #horroscope #inferno #jackasteroid #metamorpho #mystron #ohpromatem #orbitron #terrafirma #xodiac #astrodite #glyos #prototype #testshot #starwars #sofubi

Cosmic Radiation Outer Space Men - Orbitron Incoming

Courtesy/stolen from the Official Outer Space Men Instagram, it's Orbitron!   "Coming soon," we don't know when "soon" is but I'd wager it will be in the $20-$30 range.

COMING SOON!!! #outerspacemen #melbirnkrant #actionfigures #spacetoys #sciencefiction #cooltoys #customtoys #futureouterspacemen #alpha7 #astronautilus #colossusrex #cyclops #electron #gammax #gemini #horroscope #inferno #jackasteroid #metamorpho #mystron #ohpromatem #orbitron #terrafirma #xodiac #astrodite #glyos #prototype #testshot #starwars #sofubi
