Review: The Outer Space Men, LLC Outer Space Men Cthulhu Nautilus Action Figure

Absolutely no toy line has the right to employ the phrase "a long time coming" like The Outer Space Men. The line is 50 years old, and some of the toys took nearly 40 years from concept to product. The 45 years it took to get Gamma-X makes Cthulhu Nautilus seem speedy by comparison - the figure was teased in 2011 as a concept drawing, while the coloring and head were based on toymaker Mel Birnkrant's massive imagination. In addition to The Outer Space Men, Birnkrant also came up with dozens of other lines like the unrealized Monstro-City, and this 2018 Cthulhu Nautilus head looks a heck of a lot like a Cthulhu-inspired creature from that toy pitch.

The Outer Space Men - Now 12-Inch Sofubi Figure!

Coming soon to Five Points Fest, this 12-inch Colossus Rex looks pretty gosh-darned stunning. (And yes I want one.)  Take a gander!  More info as we have it.  It should be on sale June 2-3 at the convention in Brooklyn Expo Center.

The Colossus Rex 12” vinyl is magnificent. This is the 1968 blue variant color which as many of you know are super rare as these were a mistake that the factory accidentally made. A hundred or so in blue (the original is green) made it out and into America 50 years ago and today is one of the more sought out OSM variation. In 5 weeks at the #fivepointsfest this first of many new OSM in this format will make his appearance for the first time. There are 5 total colorways including tons of blanks for the artists to go berserk on. This is the most important new OSM in 50 years and the 50th anniversary celebration continues. I want to thank @cluttermagazine for their tireless and incredible perseverance in creating this work of art. Josh and Miranda have proven themselves as consummate artists, technicians and the best partners I’ve ever had. This collaboration will continue forever as together we will create an army of vinyl OSM. #outerspacemen #melbirnkrant #actionfigures #spacetoys #sciencefiction #cooltoys #customtoys #futureouterspacemen #alpha7 #astrodite #astronautilus #colossusrex #commandercomet #cyclops #electron #gammax #gemini #horroscope #inferno #jackasteroid #metamorpho #mystron #ohpromatem #orbitron #terrafirma #xodiac #prototype #starwars #sofubi
