Review: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men Beta Phase Commander Comet Action Figure

Arguably the least fanciful of the aliens in this line is Commander Comet, the Man from Venus who may as well be an angel or some dude from Earth. The bio on the packaging indicates his people visited ancient Earth and enjoyed Greece, so I guess there's an Icarus vibe. (He does remind one of Pit, who would come 20 years later and half a world away.) Anyway, where was I? Right. This Beta Phase version is limited to about 300 pieces and was sold at New York Comic Con first, and is cast in yellow plastic. The previous release was a clearish yellowy orange, so it's not exactly a huge difference-- compared to the contrast between 2010 releases, it's actually kind of disappointing it wasn't like black or green or something not closely related to orange.

Review: The Outer Space Men Beta Phase Alpha 7, the Man from Mars

When I saw the first look at Alpha 7 from the Beta Phase series, I had to do a double-take. "Wait..." I said. "Didn't I just buy a clear green version of this guy?" Well, sort of-- the San Diego version is bluegreen, and this one is more of a pure green. So it's different, but could be more different. Cast in green, he has orange ABS parts to round out the complete figure.

Review: The Outer Space Men Beta Phase Mystron, the Man from Hollow Earth

Four Horsemen Outer Space Men Beta Series Mystron Action FigureThe redder, the better! I expected the first clear release of the Outer Space Men Mystron, the Man from Hollow Earth to be red and the Horsemen surprised me by making it clear, smokey grey. Thankfully, they made the devilish being in a really nice clear red for the second release, more or less satisfying my demands for alternate color schemes until the real, painted version shipped.

In case you missed them at the show, ShopAFX.com has the 2011 Outer Space Men Beta Wave up for pre-order for $49.99.


Before you complain about the price, note that at the show, each PAIR of figures was $25, effectively making the quartet $50. (Obviously, shipping is extra, but that sort of makes up for the hotel and cabs and whatnot.)

NYCC Outer Space Men Pricing Revealed (and Increased)

The Four Horsemen posted news on the prices and sellers for the 2011 Beta Wave figures. That's the good news. The bad news is that they're $25 for 2 sets at each of 2 booths rather than $40 for a set of 4 at 1 booth.

200 sets will be brought to NYCC. 100 sets will be sold online after the show... and for all I know it might be $49 shipped for all 4. So if you're in New York, happy hunting! And if not... happy clicking!

The Final Outer Space Men for NYCC 2011 Revealed

The final two reveals! Electron+ will be cast in a clear blue, while Alpha 7 is a little green man. Previously, he was a little blue-green man, so it's not a tremendous difference. But it's different.

Details on how these will be sold are said to be approaching next week. Obviously, it's in New York, but things like prices and booth numbers are to follow.
