Review: Onell Design Outer Space Men OSM Cyclops Zardurac
One
of the recurring questions in any toy collecting game is, eventually,
the issue of "Do I want to buy another version of this character?"
Grumpy me says yes, because OSM Cyclops Zardurac is a different
and distinctive enough take on the man from beyond the Milky Way that it
becomes interesting. It also, surprisingly, had a larger production
run which had not sold out prior to arriving in my hands a mere 4 days
after placing my order. Not 4 business days, but I ordered Thursday and
got it Monday. That's bonkers fast. (As always, thank you Matt for the fast delivery and the bonus goodies. Oh, the bonus goodies.)[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]

Review: Outer Space Men Cosmic Radiation Commander Comet Action Figure
There are lots of glowing Outer Space Men now, some of which make more sense than others. Me, I want 'em all because I love glowing things. Cosmic Radiation Commander Comet
a sensible idea, given that an angel-looking thing could make sense as a
glowing, ethereal being. It's just like the other ones, but it glows.
And has silver paint. It's good.[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]

Review: Onell Design Glyos Capture Pheyden
If there's a reference to Capture Pheyden
beyond an early Capture Exellis - a cool robot figure - I don't know
what it is. This relatively new figure pays tribute to an older
figure, and possibly something else, but I don't know what it is off the
top of my head. How's that for a good start? The classic Pheyden
mold is, seemingly immortal. This time around the brown figure has
orange arms and thighs, with hands and feet in grey and brown. You can
really see that some good work went in to the paints here, and at this
point that's why you're here. You've got a Pheyden, but for the umpteenth
Pheyden it's gotta be special.[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]

The Outer Space Men Cosmic Radiation Commander Comet - Glowing This Friday
Friday! The Outer Space Men Instagram confirmed Cosmic Radiation Commander Comet is coming Friday at 9:00 PM Eastern.
Due to my being on assignment, I can't get the full review up in time
for the launch since other things were scheduled - but I can tell you
that it's bright, the silver hair is awesome, and the thinner wings glow
a tiny bit darker than the rest of the figure, providing an excellent
contrast. You'll want one.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Phanoid
A tribute! Standing about 3-inches tall, Phanoid is the next in this year's series of ongoing tributes to Fisher-Price's surprisingly wonderful Adventure People
3 3/4-inch action figure line. The genius of it was that it was packed
with mundane normal then-modern Earth stuff, plus it had a swell space
line partially made up of mixing and matching parts from said mundane
line in wacky colors to create the likes of X-Ray Man and Clawtron. It
was a great example of how you could make something new out of a
recolor that doesn't generally feel like the original.[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]

Reviews: Bit Figs Mega Bit Pheyden Flesh Set
I am a huge, huge sucker for M.U.S.C.L.E.-style mini figures. Huge. So I when I saw the Mega Bit Pheyden Flesh Set
I was sitting here asking if I needed to buy yet another set of these
guys. After realizing I still had to order that Copper Tape from
Flying Vipers and a couple of t-shirts, the answer was a fast "yes."
Once I'm paying shipping, all bets are off - if you sell music and band
shirts drawn by Matt Doughty - in my size, no less? I'm going to give
you my business. So here we are, more figures I don't need, but do
want.[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]

Review: Outer Space Men Cosmic Radiation Astro-Nautilus
I
don't know how many of you know how these reviews work, but to do one
every day I have to basically set them up like an assembly line and do
them weeks - sometimes months - in advance. This Outer Space Men Cosmic Radiation Astro-Nautilus
comes out tonight, and getting it shot, reviewed, and up this
quickly can be a trouble. (Heck, this intro? Wrote it when the figure
was still in the mail.) That's one of the good and bad things about
reviewing toys - on one hand, I know what kind of quality to expect from
this ongoing line as the actual manifestation rarely disappoints. It
also speaks of a certain homogeny that creeps in to even the best indie
line - eventually I can tell you what a figure will be before it even
arrives. The Astro-Nautilus mold is an awesome, creative design that is
one of my favorites. The glow plastic from the Glyos factory is second
to none, resulting in some of the brightest glowing figures you can buy
today. I haven't even held the figure in my hands yet, and I'm
perfectly comfortable telling you that fans of glow and this design are
going to want it and should buy it along with whatever other glow
figures are in the store that you don't have yet. Scary, eh? Anyway,
let's open the bag.[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
