I have enjoyed the Cosmic Radiation Zero Gravity figure, but it's wildly inessential. Regular Zero Gravity [FOTD #2,041]
already glows in the dark and for $5 more has a cardback and a more
interesting paint job. The Infinity version has a preposterously
detailed human head, thanks in part to some of the best paint you'll see
on a human head the size of a peanut. Commander Comet is often
similarly as good - you can't not be impressed by it. [ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
If you're a toy collector of a certain age, "Blue Stars" hold a certain meaning for you - and now it can hold new meaning with the Outer Space Men Bluestar Series revealed on Instagram. Glow in the Dark Blue Astro-Nautilus, Xodiac, and Inferno were teased - and the packaging is gorgeous. (Gary and Mel, t-shirts please.)
Today is a good day to buy. If you go to The Outer Space Men Shop, you can save 20% off with code OSMLABORDAY2019.
I just grabbed a couple of the now-in-stock Sofubi Orbitron figures the
other week with another sale code - you might want to pick up anything
you might be missing.
Orders above $100 get a free t-shirt. (Nobody gave me a free shirt!) Details on Instagram.
One caveat - the glow Orbitron has jointed ankles, and the plastic there is a little softer and thinner. For those of you who collect a lot of toys, that means only one thing - it falls over without support, usually within a couple of hours. I would strongly recommend picking up doll stands as support for these 12 3/4-inch vinyl figures at online or a local craft hut.
