Outer Space Men Coming in July - Cosmic Radiation Electron+

The first Monday in July! Apparently that's July 7, and you will have a crack at glow-in-the-dark Cosmic Radiation Electron+, so says the official Instagram. You don't need me to tell you this, but it is pretty fantastic and glows a smidgen more brightly than the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Alpha Phase Electron+. It will probably be around $20.

Next up. Electron+ The Man From Pluto. The first Friday in July. #outerspacemen #melbirnkrant #actionfigures #spacetoys #sciencefiction #cooltoys #customtoys #futureouterspacemen #alpha7 #astronautilus #colossusrex #commandercomet #cyclops #electron #gammax #gemini #horroscope #inferno #jackasteroid #metamorpho #mystron #ohpromatem #orbitron #terrafirma #xodiac #astrodite #glyos #prototype #starwars #sofubi

Review: Onell Design Glyos Neo Granthan Skaterriun Mimic

Refugees from the past! Standing about 3-inches tall, a Neo Granthan Skaterriun Mimic is named for Matt Doughty's elusive "Skate Wars" concept that he whipped up in the 7th grade. The sci-fi military figures looked pretty cool, and the Sketerriun figures are a nod to it. As usual, the nifty new color schemes got applied to many of the figures in the Onell Design catalog including the lovely Armorvor/Neo Granthan buck. It's good.

Friday at 9:00 PM Eastern, TheOuterSpaceMen.com will sell Cosmic Radiation Mystron - the glow-in-the-dark Man from Hollow Earth.  Our sample is here and the review goes up next week, and it's fantastic.
UPDATE: It seems to be up for sale right now.  Click here to get yours.

Friday night at 9:00 Eastern I will drop the balance of the Mystron Cosmic Radiation figures left over from the #fivepointsfestival I have less then a case left so these are really limited in number.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Aurustell Elite Armorvor

Sometimes things stay unfinished for a while, like this look at the Aurustell Elite Armorvor. I shot these pictures over four years ago when it showed up in the mail, but I'm only just now getting around to writing about it. This is a shame, because it's a good one. The Armorvor (and later Neo Granthan) mold has since come out in dozens of flavors, but I think this is the only golden one so far. (There is also a bronze one.)

New Spy Monkey Monsters, Demons, and Creatures in Battle Tribes

On the GlyosConnect forums, Spy Monkey posted a sneaky peek of this Friday's drop - with prices, and new parts  Check out the new heads, including a bat, a skull, a hooded head, a pterosaur, and a Cthuloid creature.  Another head looks like it'll give Darkenss a run for his money, so be sure to check these out.

6:00 PM Pacific, Friday, be there!

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.)

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.

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.

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.

This Friday night at 9:00 pm Eastern Commander Comet drops inside the official OSM webstore. This is the 7th Cosmic Radiation figure to appear. Get ready for something incredible at the #fivepointsfestival in 3 weeks. The OSM are making an appearance. #outerspacemen #melbirnkrant #actionfigures #spacetoys #sciencefiction #cooltoys #futureouterspacemen #alpha7 #astronautilus #colossusrex #commandercomet #cyclops #electron #gammax #gemini #horroscope #inferno #jackasteroid #metamorpho #mystron #ohpromatem #orbitron #terrafirma #xodiac #astrodite #glyos #prototype #starwars #sofubi
