It seems like a good time for The Outer Space Men to put on costumes for Halloween!
While there's not much news going on in The Outer Space Men line these days, there's still plenty to like - old figures can be had for varying levels of "not bad" on eBay if you're lucky, and they're still one of the more fun lines to play around with if you have more toys. I started picking up some of Hasbro's Marvel Legends 375 figures - the "Kenner" branded ones from 2020-present - and was thinking "hey, there's a photo I would like to see."
The Inferno Alpha Phase and Beta Phase figures were red and yellow respectively, so I swapped some parts around to give you this no-doubt thrilling photo.
It's worth noting that the Inferno figures - from 2010, so they've both just turned 12 - are starting to feel a tiny bit tacky, a little sticky, as often happens with some plastic figures as they age. Usually as they off-gas or whatever mold release oils work their way out, you might get some sticky or slick old figures - especially 1980s or 1970s Kenner figures. I've generally found wiping them down with a damp cloth makes them feel like new again and so far, I've never had to go back and do it a second time.
Also, hi to Gary and Mel, everybody hopes you're all well and maybe working on some other cool thing to share with us if you're so inclined some day.
