    Outer Space Men toy revival?

    Are the Outer Space Men coming back or is the graphic novel it for them? It amazes me these have never been re-issued or made into a new line of toys.
    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...

      There were constant rumors that were making a comeback but nothing ever materializes. Here's the official site:
      theouterspacemen.com

      The guy who owns all the rights has a great youtube video up where he shows all the masters (including the 2nd series that was never produced) and asks for investors:

      Part One:
      YouTube - THE HISTORY OF THE OUTER SPACE MEN part one

      Part Two:
      YouTube - THE HISTORY OF THE OUTER SPACE MEN part two

      The Colorforms Aliens graphic novel is about all we get. There were also rumors about Zeroids making a comeback (by the people who own the rights to Captain Action) but these don't seem to be founded in reality either- more likely just comic book versions of them along with the comic book of the Colorform's Aliens.

        I thought the Colorforms were fantastic. Very imaginative, old school space fantasy.
        Since they were bendies, would it cost so much to reproduce them?

        Somebody make this happen!!!!
        Let's all chip in!

          Thanks for the info. It's a disappointing to hear the graphic novel is it. The Outer Space Men was such a wonderfully creative and cool looking toy line that never got the success it deserved.

            They are fighting an uphill battle trying to bring these back. They never were a huge hit, nor do they tie into any movie or TV series....Nowadays that's the kiss of death to toy buyers. Hopefully somebody in the toy biz with some brains, and a strong independent streak gets behind this and gives them a chance.
