Update: Outer Space Men Gamma-X Online Friday
|
|
 Via the Outer Space Men News Blog: Gamma-X Glows Crazy at Star Trek Mission New York - On Sale Friday Online. 9:00 PM Eastern. According to the official Outer Space Men Instagram, they're pulling a case of these guys for online sales this week. They were sold at Star Trek Mission New York - a convention - over the weekend at $25.00 a hit. The picture here is a comparison between the old and new versions. The glow has been improved. I've got a sample, and I quite like it - there weren't too many alternations to the toy other than the plastic and deco, but they did seem to affix the clear cone better on the head-mounted blaster.
For those keeping track, there are four confirmed figures for this year and an accessory pack thus far. Onell Design had an exclusive Orbitron Diversus a few months ago, another figure is expected shortly. The Outer Space Men LLC sold Colossus Rex 2.0 and Cosmic Radiation Gamma-X so far, with Cosmic Radiation Colossus Rex coming next month as a New York Comic Con exclusive. 8 other glowing figures were teased, but no dates have been given. In addition to these, a baggie of glowing accessories exists - some have been given with figure purchases from The Outer Space Men LLC, and it includes Colossus Rex' shield, axe, and mace along with Gamma-X blaster cone and armor. They look wonderful when glowing.
Next up (confirmed) is a Colossus Rex in Glow for New York Comic Con next month. There have been hints that Onell Design may drop one or more Outer Space Men in the upcoming months, but those are often a surprise.

Glyos - Glow in the Dark (and more?) Wednesday

 Via the Outer Space Men News Blog: Onell Design - September Drop Wednesday. 9:30 PM Eastern. According to the official Outer Space Men Instagram, they're pulling a case of these guys for online sales this week. They were sold at Star Trek Mission New York - a convention - over the weekend at $25.00 a hit. The picture here is a comparison between the old and new versions. The glow has been improved. I've got a sample, and I quite like it - there weren't too many alternations to the toy other than the plastic and deco, but they did seem to affix the clear cone better on the head-mounted blaster.
Currently the Glyos/Onell Design glow plastic seems to be the best in the business - it charges quickly and glows brightly. If you are a fan of glowing toys, it's worth your while to pick up a figure or two and add it to whatever glowing toy stash you may own.
