Item Description
4" to 7" tall complete set of seven series one "First Shots" for what would eventually become one of the all-time classic action figure series (see carded examples items #2925-2931). From 1968. These are the figures sent to Colorforms from Hong Kong for approval. Six of the seven were given a spray of paint in the factory in order to better show the details of the rubber figure. Colossus Rex is molded in green and has wires inside for posing while the rest were molded without these wires. Colossus is missing two finger tips on his left hand. Astro-Nautilus and Xodiac have their original factory production tags attached. Astro Nautilus' head (as designed) is not attached as this was only to approve the mold, not the final figure. Electron +, Alpha 7, Orbitron and Commander Comet round out the set. Other than some scattered aging/paint wear they all display Exc. This is a unique, one of a kind set. If you are an "The Outer Space Men" completist, this is your once in a lifetime chance to own the only set like this in the "Universe." From the archives of toy designer Mel Birnkrant, creator of the Outer Space Men and comes w/signed COA.
