The Outer Space Men figure Colossus Rex 2.0 is now in "low stock" status so says the official Instagram. We reviewed this figure last year, and it's excellent. If you haven't yet bought yours, now would be a good time - the first version got expensive once it went away.
This figure is molded in green with a blue paint added for his scales, with golden weapons. They're cast in clear ABS plastic with a golden paint job, which looks swell up close. The original release had purple weapons.

Review: Outer Space Men Cosmic Radiation Astro-Nautilus
I
don't know how many of you know how these reviews work, but to do one
every day I have to basically set them up like an assembly line and do
them weeks - sometimes months - in advance. This Outer Space Men Cosmic Radiation Astro-Nautilus
comes out tonight, and getting it shot, reviewed, and up this
quickly can be a trouble. (Heck, this intro? Wrote it when the figure
was still in the mail.) That's one of the good and bad things about
reviewing toys - on one hand, I know what kind of quality to expect from
this ongoing line as the actual manifestation rarely disappoints. It
also speaks of a certain homogeny that creeps in to even the best indie
line - eventually I can tell you what a figure will be before it even
arrives. The Astro-Nautilus mold is an awesome, creative design that is
one of my favorites. The glow plastic from the Glyos factory is second
to none, resulting in some of the brightest glowing figures you can buy
today. I haven't even held the figure in my hands yet, and I'm
perfectly comfortable telling you that fans of glow and this design are
going to want it and should buy it along with whatever other glow
figures are in the store that you don't have yet. Scary, eh? Anyway,
let's open the bag.

Available Now: OSM Cyclops Zardurac, Bonus Weapons with Pheyden
A new Onell Design drop just went live with a new Outer Space Men figure - or at least one, as there's also a mystery figure. OSM Cyclops Zardurac is up now in pink and blue, and it's $25.00. These usually go fast, so click here to see if you can still order one.
Also I noticed Pheyden Zardurac has bonus OSM weapons, after I placed my order. Well, shoot. That's what I get for not reading all the fine print before hitting "place order."

Dated - Cosmic Radiation Astro-Nautilus
Who says dreams don't come true? Gary Schaeffer of TheOuterSpaceMen.com has dropped a note to confirm that Cosmic Radiation Astro-Nautilus will be dropped next week Friday, April 14. An early sample appears to the left - it's gorgeous. Of particular note, the suckers are painted and that really brings out a little more personality. I hope they paint future ones much like these.
