Review: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men Beta Phase Gemini Action Figure

Sometimes a high price stings for a long time, and with Gemini time has softened it a bit. It still hurts, particularly given how lush the fully-painted figure looked when he showed up at my house recently at a lower price to boot. But I do love orange. So much. Gemini is one of only two figures to be cast in orange so far, the other being Xodiac from the very first release of these figures back in 2010. Both the orange and the yellow plastics match fairly closely, making this a worthwhile bright and shiny addition to your toy shelf. If you've got a little extra cash to waste, that is, otherwise just get the painted one.

Review: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men Beta Phase Orbitron Action Figure

Here's a good one. Debuting at New York Comic Con, Orbitron was a fairly quick sell-through online. Given the price it's somewhat surprising, as the New York trio was $15 more than the San Diego versions. Perhaps this is because the colors were way cooler? I think so.

One of the teller figures in this line so far, which makes it one of the tallest Glyos-compatible figures you can get, Orbotron is held together with Glyos pegs. The swivels in the biceps are the smaller Glyos peg (found in Alpha 7 and Gemini) while the rest are pretty standard Glyos fare, allowing you to swap them to your heart's content.

Review: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men Beta Phase Cyclops Action Figure

Part of the New York Comic Con Cyclops cost a lot more than the San Diego counterparts. That set was $50. This set? $65. No idea why. The figures were sold at New York Comic Con, and the remaining stock was split between Action Figure Xpress and Store Horsemen. They were $65 there too. There's nothing in the product to warrant the $15 increase over the Alpha and Galactic Holiday editions, but well, that's life. It costs more. Of the three figures in this set, Cyclops is the meatiest and provides the most options.

Beta Wave Outer Space Men Arriving Now

THEY'RE HERE!  The latest batch of Outer Space Men are arriving in mailboxes, if you didn't pick yours up in person from New York.  They're available from Action Figure Xpress (where I ordered mine) as well as Store Horsemen.

Action Figure Xpress just happens to have slightly cheaper shipping and they ship pretty quickly, so all things being equal you may just want to give them a shot first.  This round of Orbitron, Cyclops, and Gemini are reportedly limited to 300 sets, which, it turns out, may actually be too large of a run for the needs of the market these days, unfortunately.

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!)

Beta Phase NYCC Outer Space Men Revealed

The orange Gemini, smoke grey Cyclops, and purple Orbitron were revealed in a recent Action Figure Xpress newsletter!  These will be sold at New York Comic Con and, from what was relayed to me, the set will be sold via Shop AFX after the show.

NYCC 2012 Outer Space Men (Sort Of) Revealed

While the reveal hasn't started, we did some digging and found out there was a small announcement.  Toy Tokyo will be selling Gemini & Orbitron Outer Space Men figures at NYCC, but specifics are not available.  As the figures will be going on sale in about two weeks, it is unknown if they will be shown (or even really officially announced) prior to then or if this was meant as a surprise.  Either way, click here to see the only info released thus far.
