Colourforms Outer Space Men - OSM - were my favourite space action figures as a kid. I had the first series and they played well along side my Major Matt Mason with only the occasional scrap breaking out! I so wish I still had them!
They were really beautiful toys and the accessories were so well designed. The whole lot were the creation of the great Mel Birnkrant.
Theirs a whole cottage industry of modern new figures on the back of Mel's genius and these innovations will keep the spirit fresh for avid collectors for years to come.
I'm personally happy with just my store of kid memories to be honest as OSM collecting could be addictive.
There are lots of OSM fans especially in their homeland, The USA.
Here's just one of the fan sites, many of which offer new figures nowadays.
