Quick Pics Incoming - Outer Space Men's First Twelve Figures

While we're working on reviews next week (and beyond), we wanted to give you a link to some quick images we uploaded to our Flickr page showing off the new Infinity Edition figures alongside their Alpha Phase and Beta Phase counterparts.


Above, get a gander of Xodiac swapped with his various siblings.

Outer Space Men Infinity Edition Figures Delivered

In all the excitement on Friday, we totally forgot to mention that our set of the Outer Space Men series 1 (Astro-Nautilus and Metamorpho) plus series 2 (Inferno and Xodiac) arrived in fantastic shape. We're snapping pictures for reviews in the coming days, and we can say that it's totally worth getting a set to play around with.

Particularly exciting is mixing the Alpha Phase Inferno with the Infinity version. This picture we just snapped in a hurry while we were futzing around, The picture is the Alpha Phase Inferno with the alternate arms and gun from the Infinity figure. What a difference some color makes! The Infinity Inferno is molded in grey plastic and painted red, in case you were curious.

A quick note: if you use the Alpha head and flames with the Infinity figure, it looks a heck of a lot more like the original prototype toy-- more on that later this weekend or early next week.

Outer Space Men Trading Cards in 2011

Apparently comics and figures aren't enough, the Outer Space Men are getting a line of trading cards!


There's not a ton of info just yet, but promo cards are making the rounds and it looks like it will feature the original photography from the 1960s, and typos. (One says "Xodiak.") We found the story at Non-Sport Update forums, because the manufacturer's site at Sidekicklab.com was seemingly down for the evening.

Official Pictures of Outer Space Men Holiday Figures

Previously we were treated to unfinished test shots-- today, the Four Horsemen shared the real deal with the rest of the class with silver and gold accessories. It's like the Burl Ives song, with less rum.



Those are the silver ones. New changes from the prototypes include painted details on Inferno's gun, a little Saturn on Xodiac's chest, and added deco on Metamorpho's weapons. We're crossing our fingers that the samples we bought are silver and not gold because silver is so much more Micronauts-y.
