From John Kent of ToyFinity on Twitter:
I feel kind of silly that I still get really excited for new The Outer Space Men
figures. If I'm getting a new head or an all-new paint job, it's
difficult for me to be cynical. When the quartet that includes Galactic Holiday Voidrillion Command Orbitron
dropped in December I went from "Well I skipped wave 2 and beyond for
Bluestar" to "Get my wallet" in about 4 seconds. They're weird magical
beings. I shouldn't spend too much time being concerned about this, I'm
just going to throw on a Les Baxter record and write about the silly
space man.
The Quest for the Lime begins tonight with some pretty great figures! A nifty crow head on the Chakan body, returning Knights, and more are up for grabs at 7:30 PM EST in the store, so says today's Instagram post (pictured.)
Click here an reload furiously for the next several hours. It won't do you any good, but has that stopped anyone on drop day before?
Like a fresh page out of hte early 1980s! It can be hard to figure out all the inspirations for a figure design. The Trooper (Bulloch)
has elements that look like a Stormtrooper's thigh armor, the swappable
hands remind me of a Cobra B.A.T. and numerous other figures, including
Mr. Healey's own kitbashed resin customs. I hate saying I can't grasp
all the detail he pt in the figures, but so many 1980s figures share
DNA and inspirations that it can be tough to identify the precise
inspiration for every element of this figure. It just seems plain to me
that a black and white Stormtrooper figure repaint is probably
inevitable.
But did you know it also connects to the first figure, the Raider? If you remove the rockets, the backpack perfectly aligns with the twin canisters on the figure's back. How cool is that?
A full review of Trooper (Bulloch) is coming Thursday.
The new wave from Spaced Out Design is here! Check out the new recruits. Also click here to see what's still available. The blue to yellow gradient on Geodraxus Gradien is a new factory-applied technique, and that's pretty impressive stuff.
