      Very cool news...But OSM are the reason that "Metamorpho" isn't seen as a Mattel/DCU figure, just "Rex Mason, Element Man"

        I'm a big fan of Onell Design Glyos figures, so I'm looking forward to this a great deal.

            These look like awesome throwback toys. Hopefully the 4H can keep the prices down.

              Sweet! Love those big time. I don't buy much modern stuff at all, but I'm getting those for sure. The four horsemen are super talented guys.

                Awesome! I am SO getting those. They look great.

                The only downside is they are not in scale with the vintage toys. I won't be able to display them with my Major Matt Mason figures.

                  Yeah, these will ALL be mine, they look awesome.

                  I do hope someone will do straight up re-issues of the originals at some point as well.

                    These were before my time, I'd never heard of them before. They are really cool though.

                      Mine too.... but I dreamt of them since seeing the cover of the Colorforms set when I was a kid. The 3.5" ones look fantastic. Pity they aren't 8".... but does the smalle size mean we'll be getting their cars too?

                        They are before are lot of our times, same as a lot of the stuff we collect. But they are wonderful looking, creative and iconic 60s space toys.

                          I had them all when they came out. I think I liked Astro-Nautilus the best. I am a little disappointed that they won't be in their original 6-inch bendy format. For people new to the characters this probably won't mean much, but think of it this way ... how would you, as a classic Mego collector feel, if the 8-inch clothed Mego figures came back as 4 inch bendies?

                            I never had any of the originals but I've wanted them for a long time. I would have, of course, prefered them as reproduction bendy figures in their original scale. The new ones look fantastic and I plan on getting them all but it is still a little of disappointing I won't be able to display them with my Major Matt Mason figures.

                            It's still hard to get too down about the new figures though because they are NEW Outer Space Men figures!!! They also really do look great and still have a very retro style about them. I am very pleased the Horsemen did not update or re-imagine them in a "hip," "edgy" or anime style.

                            Now all I need are 3 3/4 inch MMM figures.
