Fancy! Onell Design posted that they were aiming to do fancier paint jobs more in line with The Outer Space Men, and they got it. Standing about 3-inches tall, Glyarmor Cytechion DX is expensive but there's a lot of action here. The figure is molded in the same clear green plastic as Rayexx [FOTD #1,665],
but with layers of paint. Many layers. There's a creamy yellow layer,
metallic gold, and some grey - plus a few places for the green to peer
through.
Skate Wars! A new secret figure is assumed to be Pheyden as Brainoid from Adventure People - and it's joined by an Outer Space Men Cyclops, plus Pheyden with bonus OSM accessories. Which I didn't realize until after I placed my orders. Read the fine print, people. Click here to see the April 5 2017 Onell Design drop menu.
Another Gremlins-inspired figure! The Quallerran Waimog
brings you a Mogwai-derived creation with appropriate deco. The white
plastic has been painted up to resemble those Gizmo action figures you
bought and cherished or passed on and kicked yourself over, whichever.
I shot this one a couple of years ago, but I forgot to tell you how much I dug the Neo Granthan Gladiator.
The silver mold was one of three figures released when the
dinosaur-like "Neo Granthan" head made its debut just over two years
ago. Prior to that, the Armorvor molds came with wolf heads. I
really dug the wolf head, the Neo Granthan is nice, but I've always
wished we would see more animal noggins on a regular basis. Such things
are not easily supported by artisanal batch action figures. There
have been quite a few Neo Granthans since the debut, but not exactly an
abundance of silver ones.
Standing 3-inches tall, Rayexx
fills the demand I've been making of the poor, long-suffering makers of
Glyos for years. A matching Kabuto Mushi was also made, but I've been
pestering team Onell Design and the Outer Space Men guys to do an X-Ray
Man Jack Asteroid or X-Ray Woman Tera Firma for years. I hope they
still do it. But if they don't? Pheyden's good. I'm happy with
Pheyden.
The curse of completism! The Outer Space Men
doesn't have a lot of subsets - there were a couple of "wave" repaints
of fancy recolors, but the only linewide uniform set up until White Star
figures were the Infinity Edition figures. All but three of the
figure molds came out in white with blue trim by 2014, with no indicaton
when - or if - the set would be completed. The concept was neat, but
I'd be lying if I said that White Star Cyclops was a gap in my
collection that I needed filled. He and his brothers look really cool,
with the while plastic doing a good job showing off some details that
weren't visible on some of the clear or painted figures. But did I need
another Cyclops?
