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.)

Review: Onell Design Glyos OSM Cthulhu-Nautilus Rlyehzoth

The long-gestating alien came out, and we even got a rockin' redeco before 2018 ended. The OSM Cthulhu-Nautilus Rlyehzoth takes the base Cthulhu- Nautilus [FOTD #2,015] and gives it new colors and textures - and an alternate build!

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

Review: 12-Inch Outer Space Men Sofubi Glow in the Dark Colossus Rex Action Figure

This 12-inch Sofubi Glow in the Dark Colossus Rex was delayed a long time. Customs can take a while... and I have to say when the box finally showed up in October I was almost rolling my eyes, thinking "this can't possibly be worth the price and the wait." Well, it was, and it was. It's gorgeous. It's a glowing beacon. It's incredible and I'm glad they're planning on doing at least a few more of these.

Review: Outer Space Men Zero Gravity Action Figure

I was expecting a glow-in-the-dark version of Jack Asteroid - which we got - but to get a new character like Zero Gravity too? I'm surprised. He costs more than the original Jack Asteroid figure and has less paint, but the dude friggin' glows. The fully Glyos-compatible astronaut has alternate bent/straight arms and can be taken apart at nearly every point of articulation, and then some. That little moon ingot pops off, the helmet dismantles to 3 pieces, and the figure has an ab and a belt joint. The mold should look familiar - it was first released as the glow-in-the-dark Alpha Phase Metamorpho in 2010, and was subsequently released as multiple Metamorpho and Jack Asteroid bodies, most of which was reused for other figures in the first couple years of the line. It's the perfect generic humanoid template, they could keep more heads coming and I'd probably buy even more redeco figures.
