Outer Space Men NYCC Beta Wave Preorders Up Now

Action Figure Xpress put up the Beta Wave Gemini, Cyclops, and Orbitron at $65 plus shipping, the same price they were sold for at the show (sans shipping, natch.)  

For those keeping track, the Alpha Wave was sold for $50 last July, and Store Horsemen has that series down to $25.00 for a limited time... so if you don't have any versions of these molds yet, as far as bang for the buck goes, it's probably mathematically impossible to beat $25.  It's the same figures with the same tooling, just different coloring at a hugely different price.  (Thanks for the tip, Seth!)

Outer Space Men Jack Asteroid Sculpt Debuted at NYCC

ToyArk.com debuted an image showcasing new sculpts, well, some resculpts and one new sculpt.  Jack Asteroid, the first Earth human male concept we saw recently in the Outer Space Men line, was on display much to the surprise of people who are me.  I seriously wasn't expecting to see this one... but there he is!  Perhaps he'll debut in 2013 or 2014.

The figure, if you missed it, was designed as a refresh of Metamorpho reusing Terra Firma's accessories and a new head sculpt.   If you're at New York Comic Con this weekend, be sure to go check it out in person.

UPDATE: Tad Ghostal posted a much better photo of the two humans on the Fantastic Exclusive forums.

Mel Birnkrant Reveals the Outer Space Women Figure Concepts

Mel Birnkrant has proven what we've all known to be true: boobs make things interesting.  The Outer Space Women are a series of designs which take the Terra Firma body and adapt it to various planets in the solar system.  Will they ever get made as figures?  Nobody knows, but they're certainly memorable and distinctive.  

• Astrodite, the woman from Venus
• Ohpromatem, Evil Twin Sister of Metamorpho
• Poseida, the woman from Neptune
• Moltina, the molten woman of Mercury
• Horroscope, the sister of Xodiac
• Dezdemona, the sister of Mystron

Be sure to see all of these, and many other great designs, in Mel's Sketchbook.

Review: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men Cosmic Creators Four Horsemen Metamorpho Action Figure

Yet another version of Metamorpho! Dubbed "Megamorpho," this figure takes a cue from the neon end of space which vaguely recalls the aliens of Major Matt Mason as well as numerous toys of the late 1980s and 1990s. A radical departure from the previous painted versions of this figure, Metamorpho is cast in a metallic pink with bright blues and greens that are arguably the very thing people are complaining about when they call something "too neon." This means, of course, that it is perfect.

With about 20 parts when fully disassembled, this figure is more or less the same thing you've come to love and expect. The key difference, of course, is the insanely awesome paint job that should do a fine job of blinding your friends when they walk in the room. This time around, the "alien" head is blue, the "ape" head is green, and the "reptile" head is pink. His "button" on his chest plus the knob on his helmet are clear green, with the accessories rendered in the same pink plastic with painted green elements.
