When the OSM were announced, we wanted to interview the men behind it. The Horsemen, Mel Birnkrant, & Matt Doughty all agreed to talk with IAT, but our schedule conflicted with that of Onell Design's Matt Doughty. We've finally corralled him and are happy to bring you his thoughts on the OSM.
Over the weekend, the NYCC Exclusive Beta Phase Outer Space Men showed up at my doorstep! This wave featured the four OSM characters in some exciting new colorways. We're still holding off on an official review for the main releases, but that doesn't mean we can't show you some pics of these cool exclusives.
We brought you our interview with Mel Birnkrant yesterday, but wait... there's more! Mr. Birnkrant has updated his site with a "brief" history of the two decades (1964-1986) he spent working with/for the Colorforms company. It's a great read that provides insight into the toy industry that you won't get anywhere else.
It’s been four months since our first interview with Outer Space Men creator Mel Birnkrant. In that session, we focused on the history of the OSM. Now, with the Alpha Phase in our grubby hands and the Beta and Regular Editions just weeks away, we thought it was time to talk to Mel about the present and future.
The Four Horsemen are only going to be able to make it to the New York Comic Con on opening day – Friday (Oct. 8th)), so if you’re going to be there, they’d love for you to stop by and say "hey"! They’re going to be doing signings at multiple booths at different times throughout the day.
