<\/a>Today, well tonight now, I\u2019m taking a look at the figures in the Outer Space Men Four Horsemen Cosmic Creators Wave One, Megamorpho & Neonautilus. I know it sounds like a lot of proper nouns all strung together, so let\u2019s focus on the key words: cool toys, great sculpts, bright colors.<\/p>\n

A lot of new Outer Space Men cropped up over the summer. The new SDCC exclusive Alpha Phase editions of Wave 5 & the Deluxe Cyclops, the \u201cnew & improved\u201d 2.0 versions of the Wave 1 & 2 Infinity Editions, and the Four Horsemen\u2019s entry into the Cosmic Creators series. <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

The SDCC exclusives caught my attention first. Those new sculpts are fantastic and I\u2019m eagerly anticipating seeing them in full color, but the sleeper hit from the Summer releases is easily the Cosmic Creators Four Horsemen Editions. (Man, we\u2019re going to have to work on some acronyms here\u2026). <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

In this review, I\u2019m taking a quick look at the two figures that comprise \u201cWave One\u201d. Now technically, there isn\u2019t a Wave 1 or 2 when it comes to the Cosmic Creators sets as they\u2019re bundled as a group of four<\/a> at StoreHorsemen.com, but it\u2019s a little easier on me to break these guys up in two groups of two, so I\u2019m using the \u201cWave 1\u201d designation the figures have when they\u2019re sold as Infinity Editions. <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

As did the Mel Birnkrant editions, these Cosmic Creators reuse the standard resealable packaging as the Infinity Editions. And, this set comes signed by each of the Four Horsemen as well as team members Shane Dittsworth, Owen “O-Dawg” Oertling, & Sherri Lyn Cook! It\u2019s always cool to have something signed and thanks to the resealable nature of the packaging, I will be keeping this around – unlike most of the toy packaging that stands between me and my stuff. <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in my thoughts on the basic sculpts beyond the fact I think they\u2019re top notch or any of the basics for the Wave 1 & 2 OSM, head back to early 2011 for my Infinity Edition review<\/a> of these two figures. When it comes to this pair the reason to pick them up is largely for the new deco. Continue to Page 2…<\/a><\/p>\n

When the Four Horsemen sent over review sample of the newest Cosmic Creator wave, I was really impressed by the colors. While Mel had chosen a metallic path for each of his creations, the Four Horsemen opted to get loud. Metamorpho has been redubbed Megamorpho for this release and the obsession with making him pink has continued beyond the NYCC exclusive Beta version. I don’t mind one bit though, the basic space suit looks fantastic in this shade of pink and it’s a color I wouldn’t mind seeing more of in the line down the road. I think my favorite part of Megamorpho is the new colors on the faces.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

I like the pink & green faces, but it’s the cool blue on the more human face that gets me. It looks fantastic in this color and I found myself tempted to swap it out with one of the more traditional purple faces for a more unique look. <\/p>\n

The Astro-Nautilus repaint, Neonautilus, has a similarly fantastic deco. The metallic purple and powder blue of the suit are sharp, but it’s really the green “skin” that sets Neonautilus apart. Not that a purple half-man\/half-octopus isn’t otherwordly enough, but something about this bright shade of green really appeals to me. <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Overall, I’m loving the painted versions of the OSM the more we get and these fluorescent versions are new different. Along with the new names that help craft them as different characters, these guys make my displays look that much sharper than a few painted figures outnumbered by the clear exclusives. Admittedly, I’m a sucker for bright colors, but I’m happy with the choices for the contrast colors and I’m happy with what it means from a “piece” perspective as well. The green octopus arms, the hot pink suit, etc all should make some great color fodder for other OSM or Glyos builds!<\/p>\n

Thanks again to the Four Horsemen for sending these along!<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n
