    OSM Non Sport Cards

    I found a company who's printer has all 1970's equipment. The cards will resemble the original Star Wars cards. The wax wrappers are out of control and the gum is individually wrapped for today's China lead paint world that we live in. I am trying to keep the cost of individual packs down to $3.00. I am trying. Thanks so much, Gary.

      Cool, sounds good...well, except for the lead paint! Seriously, I'm a fan of old trading cards (an new trading cards that look like old trading cards), so I look forward to checking them out!

      Are you planning to distribute the cards through Diamond in the comic book shops or will they just be available at the website?
      Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.

        Oh man, congrats on tracking down somebody to print wax packs, that's a task in itself.

        As for reproduction figures, oh pretty please, I've always wanted a set but purely because of their wonderful design. I wasn't even born when they were released.

          >Not too sure about that 70s gum, though. Isn't that a health hazard?

          Only if you eat it, or use it to shiv someone.

          >I wasn't even born when they were released.

          Me too! That Colourforms set was the first time I saw 'em to; and I went nuts trying to find them! I'd love a Mego scaled set. Who would win; the Outer Space Men or the Tomland Star Raiders?

            That's awesome news. I've wanted a set of those for years. Amazing figures.
            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

              You could definitely shiv somebody with that gum. I would ask for wax packs in prison.

                The Outer Space Men LLC;

                there was some talk about this a while back here. I assume you're that guy in the video with all the masters and unreleased 2nd series of the Outer Space Men (see my post with links to the YouTube videos)?

                I really hope you are able to offer reproductions of the original figures (including the unreleased 2nd series). That'd be awesome.

                Keep us updated. And do you have a mailing list? You might want to start one to keep us updated on progress with the OSM.

                  Yes I am the guy with all of the prototype figures and thanks to you all for continuing the threads. My first question would be if anyone knows how to combine all of these threads and postings so that I can answer all of your questions about the return of the OSM. I think it would probably be the administrator of the blog to combine the threads. If anyone knows how to do this it would be great.

                  I promise you all that the Graphic Novel is not all that there will be. I will get the figures done. I have been approached by several companies to bring them back. I am waiting for the best deal and the best way in which to do it.

                  You are right that without a property behind me like a full length feature film my figures may just sit on shelves next to dead figures without properties either.

                  With the advent of Hollywood turning to famous toys in which to base films on and with the new Major Matt Mason film now in production starring Tom Hanks (it is his Playtone Production company doing the film) it would make perfect sense for my OSM to get to the screen as well. I have sent copies of the GN to Playtone and Tom Hanks to see if he would collaborate on a film project or even get my OSM to have a cameo appearance in the MMM film somewhat like Samuel L Jackson did a cameo in the end of Iron Man. The OSM were based on MMM anyway and certainly done to scale so that kids could play good guy bad guy with the figures if they so chose to.

                  The stick of gum just so everyone knows that will be in the Non Sport Card packs is freshly made and individually wrapped in sealed cello. It would have been a riot to get gum sticks left over from the 70's. A guy at the big apple con said that he had recently opened an old wax pack and tried the gum. It instantly turned to powder in his mouth and he threw up. Funny!

                  My mailing list I guess is registering on my OSM website. There are always new updates on products and stuff that I am doing. Don't forget everyone that the code MEGO will get you 20% off of the GN and Tee Shirts!

                  More to come!

                    This, and the new Megos, is the best news of the year.

                        Hi everyone. Please take a moment to watch this interview that I did at the last comic show. I think that I touched on a lot of interesting facts that some of you may not know. Thanks so much, Gary.

                          Oh My God! Outer Space Men are coming!

                          I remember reading an article in a toy magazine that had this guy that landed the series 2 prototypes. I am just as excited about these as I am about the new Mego's.

                          Great stuff! Maybe I should go hunt down the G.I Joe Adventure Team figures that came out a few years ago.

                          We are living in good toy time!
