 Re: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men
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.

 Re: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men
i'm pretty sure these are regular plastic action figs.
the originals were made by colorforms.

 Re: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men
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

 Re: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men
Wow, this whole time I thought the Onell Design stuff was also resin... I haven't got to handle any in person.

 Re: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men
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: http://www.onelldesign.com/store/

 Re: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men
I take it Metamorpho has a Man-E-Faces sort of face-change gimmick... Cool!

 Re: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men
Me and Matt talked about creating a new series of aliens in the same scale as these guys. Stay Tuned!

 Re: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men
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. Sanjeev wrote: I take it Metamorpho has a Man-E-Faces sort of face-change gimmick... Cool!

 Re: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men
I finally opened my set tonight and am blown away by these guys.
This is what toys are all about...such great figures!

 Re: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men
 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? Paulkaiju wrote: Best toys of SDCC 2011. These kick ASS!

 Re: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men
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.

 Re: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men
I like the clear ones way more than the painted versions, are they still available?

 Re: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men
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.

 Re: Four Horsemen Outer Space Men
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.

Exactly. I'm a total motu fan boy. But... I can't find a single redeeming feature to those. Sanjeev wrote: audiodifficulties wrote: But I can't forgive those horrible crouching motu sculpts. So bad. These?  Yeah...pretty fucking repulsive.
