Something OSM At Onell Design - Relgothan Astro Kraken Conversion Set

Over at Onell.store, there's a new figure!  The Relgothan Astro Kraken Conversion Set includes what appears to be most of an Astro-Nautilus from the waist up.  It has a head, arms, and a torso - sadly, no legs.   Click here to see if any are left.

New Figure: Zollmen x OSM Astro-Nautlius

After the program of giant-size The Outer Space Men vinyl figures at pretty fair prices seems to have ended, we now have the reveal of the 50 piece 2024 ZOLLMEN X OSM ASTRO NAUTILUS BULLMARK SOFUBI figure.  It's a 12-inch figure styled to look like the Bullmark releases, which is good.  It's limited to 50, which isn't great.   It's $400, so I won't be buying one - on my browser it's a white price on a white background, so you won't be able to see it unless you highlight it or add to cart.

It's due around March, and will probably be one of the lowest-run items in the license.  It's super cool.

The Outer Space Men Bluestar Astrodite Now Available

Better late than never. The 2022 ASTRODITE BLUESTAR was posted to the Outer Space Men Shop on June 8, 2023.  She's a surprisingly cheap $15.  (If they lowered the prices on the other figures to $15, I think I'd order 'em all and complete my set - I only have the first four so far.)   She looks good, order her here.

The Outer Space Men Maximilian Gravity and Jack Asteroid Bluestar Figures On Sale at $15

 The Outer Space Men pulled another rabbit out of their hat with Jack Asteroid and Maximilian Gravity (Zero Gravity) Bluestar blue glow-in-the-dark action figures at $15 each. There are, of course many others.

I've dropped off buying the Bluestars at $25-$30 but I'd buy everything I'd missed so far at $15 a pop.   The four I do have glow for hours when charged by the sun, to the point where it's almost ridiculous.   If you don't have any blue glow figures I almost insist you buy at least one or two.

Shock - The Outer Space Men Galactic Holiday 2022 Wave

Update 12/23/22: individual figures are also up for grabs.   Colossus Rex is $30.  The others are $25.

I honestly thought we'd never see Galactic Holiday figures again!  Just now, The Outer Space Men Shop posted  THE VOIDRILLION COMMAND 2022 GALACTIC HOLIDAY EDITION set for $100.  $25/figure isn't bad for these guys.  

In it,  you get new flavors of Orbitron, Colossus Rex, Luna Eclipse, and Cthulhu Nautilus.  Click here to see if it's still in stock.

Naturally, I ordered a set and hope to have them to review soon.

Bluestar Outer Space Men Series 3 Revealed, Pricing

Gary from Team Outer Space Men sent us a note that the 3-pack of Cyclops, Gemini, and Orbitron are coming! And are sadly getting a price increase.  The 3 big beefy blue glow guys will set you back $90, but there's a lot of glowing plastic in there.

You can find more pictures on their Instagram here.

Bluestar Outer Space Men - Round Two Live Now!

As the fates foretold, Wave 2 of the Bluestar Outer Space Men are live now.  (It is uncertain if they are in-stock or a pre-order.)   Like the last batch they're $25.00 each plus shipping, and come with a wide array of accessories.

The glow-in-the-dark blue plastic is incredibly bright when properly charged, and the wave one figures turned out really well.   If you are so inclined, you'll probably love them.  The Glyos system works great for these 3 3/4-inch scale figures, plus things that glow in the dark are generally always nice.

The Outer Space Men Bluestar Round 2 Preview

The Outer Space Men relaunch kicked off 10 years ago as a sort of perfect mashup of Glyos construction and 1970s Kenner articulation and personality.  And it's still going!  On Twitter, The Outer Space Men crew previewed the next batch of Bluestar figures.  These blue glow-in-the-dark figures are updates of the 2011 crew - Commander Comet, Mystron, Electron+, and Alpha 7.  This is the first we've seen them in-the-glowing plastic.

New Outer Space Men Coming - New Series of Bluestar Figures

New! Via the Outer Space Men Instagram, take a look at preview packaging for the  next Bluestar glow-in-the-dark blue figures of Alpha 7, Electron+, Commander Comet, and Mystron!  The post promises more in a couple of weeks.

Bluestar Outer Space Men - First Four Live Now!

As of now we don't know how many glow-in-the-dark Bluestar Outer Space Men figures will be ran, but the first four are in the shop now.  Astro-Nautilus, Inferno, Metamorpho, and Xodiac were the first four figures ran in 2010 - and now they're the first four blue figures!  Check availability here.  They're $25.00 each.

Outer Space Men Blue Glow Packaging

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.)

These are expected around Black Friday.

At Last: Outer Space Men White Star Zero Gravity

He's here! Finish up the (current) complete roster of Glyos-compatible 3 3/4-inch scale White Star action figures with Zero Gravity.   He's $25.00.

Just a few remain, and according to the official Instagram: "The last 3 3/4” Glyos OSM from the mind of Mel Birnkrant is live inside the Webstore. This is the 21st and last Whitestar figure to finish off the collection. While there are some major surprises this summer and into the fall; here is the ultimate installment to end one hell of a series."

Tonight: Outer Space Men Colossus Rex Tyraxsis

Onell Design will be selling Outer Space Men Colossus Rex Tyraxsis tonight at 9:30 PM Eastern (or in about 23 minutes.) right now.  Surprise! It's big and orange and I can't wait to get one.  Click here for the store to check availability.

Toy Fair 2019 - Technically - The Outer Space Men!

While there was no actual presence of The Outer Space Men at Toy Fair 2019, I did visit Gary Schaeffer and Mel Birnkrant to chat and take pictures of the new Sofubi Orbitron test shots.  (I did mention the Diversus edition mouth paint application is missing, so don't @me.)

Announcements - Cosmic Radiation Outer Space Men Continue in 2019

Not to be outdone, the Official Outer Space Men Instagram also added previews of 2 of the 4 new Cosmic Radiation figures.  Check out Luna Eclipse and Cthulhu Nautilus!  Luna (and Zero Gravity) already glow in the dark... but this time it's different.
And, of course, everybody loves a glowing tentacle monster.

I am so thrilled to have just received the samples of the new Cosmic Radiation OSM from the factory. Of course these were approved the moment I opened the box and was floored as to how stunning the new figures are. Another amazing job from Matt of @onelldesign These will officially drop very soon so get ready for a ton of fun on the way. #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 #glyos #prototype #sofubi #starwars

Announcements - More White Star Outer Space Men Coming

The White Star collection must be completed!   The Official Outer Space Men Instagram has been busy, and revealed the next four White Star figures - most likely coming in 2019!  Zero Gravity, Luna Eclipse, Cthulhu Nautilus, and Astrodite are all set to join the other characters in the white plastic with blue highlights.

The new Whitestar OSM Figures have arrived for approval. Clearly a home run and I cannot wait to get these into the hands of the artists who will do absolute wonders with these. I’ll have a 2019 late Galactic Holiday Edition created by none other than the brilliant @topheroy and I’m sure it will be as huge a sensational artistic success as his 2017 edition was. #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 #glyos #prototype #sofubi #starwars

Onell Design - New OSM Cthulhu-Nautilus Rlyehzoth Figure

A new figure!  This Cthulhu-Nautilus Rieyehzoth is $22 and up for grabs as of about 5 minutes ago.  It's green, and cheaper than the carded version you may not yet have purchased.  Other accessories are available, as is a special Vampire Noboto with wings from this very figure.  Click here to get buying.

New Outer Space Men Vehicles Coming

In a bit of news that's both welcome and ridiculous, the official Outer Space Men Instagram has announced 12-inch scale vehicles.  Now that 3 3/4-inch figures are about $30 and 12-inch vinyl figures are $120 - so a vehicle could be easily $200 or more.
No specifics or release dates were given, but do pay heed to the warning shot that fans of the line could be tapped for a significant wad of cash to keep the line complete going forward.
If for any reason they don't make it out in that giant size, I for one would be very happy to see some of the mini vehicle concepts from 50  years ago realized in a cheaper, less space-intensive format.  I'm excited to hopefully get my 12-inch sofubi figures soon, but if that line actually continues to completion I assume it will take up far more space than I would like - and that's before vehicles or alternate colorways come in to play.

Now Available - Zero Gravity!

New now!  Zero Gravity is up at TheOuterSpaceMen.com for $30.   Presumably, orders ship soon - I'm looking forward to mine, and I hope the glow-in-the-dark astronaut gets here soon.
