Review: Onell Design Outer Space Men Orbitron Diversus

Long pauses are as much a part of The Outer Space Men as space itself. The original line took a nap after its 1966 debut until 2010, and every year we'd see a surge of freshness around July with the line usually being over and done with by January until the next July. Selling out faster than you can say "give Uncle Scrotor a hug," Orbitron Diversus was the last new releases were the final "Infinity Edition" figures from February 2014. In that time, the rights to The Outer Space Men reverted back to the brand's owners, which means you're probably not going to see a heck of a lot of new sculpting but you might see more new releases now that the ball is rolling again. I hope. I mean, it's been 50 years - toy nostalgia usually peters out for most adults before they turn 40. Onell Design's new crossover Orbitron takes cues from its original inspiration - notably the Metaluna Mutant from This Island Earth.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Armorvor Neo Nonilla Action Figure

Think pink with the clear glittery Armorvor Neo Nonilla. Colored like a rabid Lisa Frank binder, this nifty figure brings you the Neo Granthan head with the classic wolf helmet and a backpack. And glitter. So much glitter.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Armorvor Keytrius Action Figure

If you need so much green that your green needs green, you're probably going to love the metallic Armorvor Keytrius. The tropical birdlike deco sports metallic green plastic, yellow visors, red eyes, and a few decent highlights - it's worth noting the swirls probably could have rendered the green paint unnecessary.

New Glyos Line - Battle Tribes

Spy Monkey Creations has brought us some pretty cool weapons and the Weaponeers of Monkaa line, and their next new thing is Battle Tribes.  This was revealed on October Toys' Toy Break, and the above image was being forwarded around late Friday night.  (You can see some more of Toy Break via stills here.)

The line is expected to launch at noon Pacific on Friday, April 8.  Painted figures are $15, unpainted figures are $10.  Each figure includes one of each head, all of the armor and weapon bits, and that's not bad.  They appear to be similar in size to the great Rise of the Beasts line.

Click here for Spy Monkey Creations, which at press time does not have any information on this line.  Battle Tribes does not appear to have an active site on any of the domains I tested.
