    These are resin? I dig them, especially Astro Nautilus. If I were to ever collect vintage the Bullmark versions of these guys would be the first line I would try to collect.

    i'm pretty sure these are regular plastic action figs.

    the originals were made by colorforms.

    Plastic? Neato! Colorforms did the original US figures, but (vintage) Bullmark did standard sized soft vinyl versions of 6 of them, all but Alpha 7.

    These are Plastic with a bit of softness. They use the Glyos system connections for all of the parts (interchangeable with all of the Onell Design stuff). If I'm not mistaken they also use the same plastic

    Wow, this whole time I thought the Onell Design stuff was also resin... I haven't got to handle any in person.

    Even the really early stuff Matt had done hand cast urethane for. I definitely recommend picking up a couple Glyos pieces if you haven't tried them. They're completely parts swap-able, and virtually indestructible, and they're not sold at insane prices. I don't mean to turn this reply into a sales pitch but I think you'll definitely get your money's worth:

    I take it Metamorpho has a Man-E-Faces sort of face-change gimmick... Cool!

    Me and Matt talked about creating a new series of aliens in the same scale as these guys. Stay Tuned!

    Yeah, the yellow part on top of his head is essentially just a peg that rotates the inner head around inside the helmet. No mechanics internally just manual face changing.

    :shock: These are very cool. Who is this little guy? Prototypical martian you say?
    I don't care much for the whole gang, but the angel and the martian really do it for me. I love the martian being smaller than the rest and I bet he is the cruel and ruthless master mind behind them all.
    Their clear helmets are also a great detail. The figures look like hard plastic, what are they made of?

    Great pic Paul!
    I agree these little guys had a lot of bang for their buck.
    Here's some I took at their booth.

    I want the clears so bad.
    But I can't forgive those horrible crouching motu sculpts.
    So bad.

    I like the clear ones way more than the painted versions, are they still available?

    Flippers already have them for triple on fleabay.
    There are some still in the four horsemen store, but not of the sdcc set.

    Alright, it's show your age time... who here had the Space Warriors Colorforms set as a kid? I did... I loved it like crazy, and it made me nuts that there didn't seem to be actual figures you could buy of the amazing toys depicted in the colorform's photographic images... I never knew that there were bendy figs available back when, and in any case I never saw 'em anywhere.

    Oh, and these are fucking awesome.

    After buying the normal version and getting two (of three) exclusive clear sets for the first wave, I skipped this set. I'll stick to the painted versions for now....unless a translucent red is released. :roll:

    Exactly.
    I'm a total motu fan boy.
    But... I can't find a single redeeming feature to those.
