Four Horsemen Outer Space Men Test Shot Pics

The Four Horsemen sent us some pictures of their upcoming retro chic collaboration with Onell Designs, the Outer Space Men. I didn’t know anything about the Outer Space Men before the Four Horsemen announced the license – they were originally produced before I was born (but not by much). If you’re like me and want to learn more, here’s a couple of links:

  • An Outer Space Men Archive – this site was created by Mel Birnkrant, the original creator of the toy line made by Colorforms.
  • TheOuterSpaceMen.com – this is the official site for upcoming Outer Space Men products.
  • The Four Horsemen’s Outer Space Men Forum – you’ll find discussion boards and OSM info from the Four Horsemen.
  • Onell Design – these folks are the Four Horsemen’s production partners for the OSM line, and created the Glyos line of toys.
  • Poe Ghostal’s interview with Matt Doughty (Part 1 | Part 2) – Matt is the founder of Onell Design.

Good reading all around – enjoy!

Masters of the Universe Classics Gygor Preview

Masters of the Universe Classics Gygor - with Gorilla Grodd.jpg

When we saw him at Mattel’s Masters of the Universe Classics Toy Fair event, I know a lot of people thought that Gygor was based on the Collect & Connect Gorilla Grodd from the DC Universe Classics line. Nope – it’s a totally unique sculpt! Giant gorillas are great – I can’t wait to size Gygor up against Grodd, the Kriegaffe from the Mezco Hellboy line, and the Monkeyman BAF from the Legendary Comic Book Heroes line from Toy Biz!

First Look – DC Universe Classics SDCC 2010 Plastic Man – TheFwoosh.com

There’s been a lot of Mattel news in the past week and a half that started with the announcement that Mattel landed the Voltron license for the upcoming animated series. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out the extremely awesome first look that VeeBee posted on the Fwoosh of the upcoming DC Universe Classics Plastic Man a few days back.

To be perfectly honest, I’m not exactly a big fan of Plas – primarily because when I was first exposed to him, all I really wanted in comics was dark, brooding, angsty stuff. But I do think that this figure delivers all that it possibly could. I’ll definitely be picking him up.

Masters of the Universe Classics Chief Carnivus Prototype Pics

If you were here over the weekend and caught our post about Wizard World Philly, then you know that Mattel introduced Chief Carnivus as their September Club Eternia figure for Masters of the Universe Classics. Here are the official pics, I think of the painted 2-up prototype, from Mattel.

I didn’t see a lot of the 200X animated show, so Carnivus is new for me. I’m actually curious as to how he’ll fit in with the Four Horsemen’s Seventh Kingdom figures.

MOTU September Figure Revealed

MOTU Fans,

Friday night was a big one for MOTU. First, the brand was inducted into the ToyFare Hall of Fame during Wizard World Philadelphia (an incredible honor) and our own Scott Neitlich was on hand to accept the award on behalf of Mattel. Then, Scott went on to reveal our September MOTU figure. Ready? It’s the one and only fantastic feline himself… Chief Carnivus™!

Chief Carnivus™
Heroic Feline Warrior™

This fan-favorite figure from the 200X series will go on sale Wednesday, September 15th right here at MattyCollector.com We’ll reveal his bio a little later, so keep your eyes on this spot!

DC Universe Classics Wave 14 Packaged Pics

Seeing these packaged pics of DC Universe Classics Wave 14 reminds me that there won’t be a lot of rest before this Wal-Mart exclusive wave hits stores. With no Wal-Marts within 45 minutes, I’ll probably be relying on the kindness of fellow collectors to get my hands on this wave of figures – so when you find these babies, help a brother out! 🙂

These all look great, but I’m digging Zatanna the most thus far. You can see the pics of the Wave 14 two-ups and Collect & Connect Ultra-Humanite from back when Mattel posted their updates on DC Universe Classics Waves 13 and 14 on their Facebook page.
