The gap between the first and second The Outer Space Men Onell Design specials was five years. Five years. Thankfully Alpha 7 Zekroyas
was only 3 months after the last one, bringing the man from the red
planet back as a figure that's not only red, but has a unique color
layout. It's not just a color-swap, but there are significant changes
to where you'll find paint this time around. If you've been collecting
this line for a while you may have six (or seven, if you dig variants)
and more or less know what to expect. This is the first wholly
original painted version to see release in quite some time, as the
original Alpha 7 [FOTD #388] was based on a toy from the 1960s, and Alpha 11 [FOTD #744]
was inspired of a contemporary - and ultimately unreleased - redeco.
The Zekroyas version from Onell Design is a match for the Crayboth and
Quallerran figures released at the same time, so they're siblings in a
way. I'm super keen on figures painted like the Outer Space Men so I picked those up, too.
