Late last night, the Four Horsemen released pics of the early prototypes for the two figures of wave 3 of the Outer Space Men on their FANtastic Exclusive forums.

The first is Commander Comet. The character is sort of a “space angel”–with a face that makes Robert Z’Dar look like Iggy Pop.

The Horsemen’s design of the character looks great, and I suspect a lot of Glyos fans are going to be very happy with those removable wings.

As promised, exclusive to you FANtastic FANatics – here are shots of one of the Outer Space Men from wave 3 – COMMANDER COMET – THE MAN FROM VENUS!!

As we said before, this is a rough, unapproved prototype. He’s also still missing his crossbow accessory.

Mel is very serious about the look that these figures should have, and we’re certain that he’s going to come back with changes for us that are going to make these figures the best that they can possibly be!

It sounds like Mel (Birnkrant, creator of the OSM) keeps a pretty tight rein on these figures–which is certainly his prerogative.

Next up is one of my personal favorites, Mystron, “the man from Hollow Earth.” He’s basically Satan. I say, any action figure with paned hose is all right with me.

Our final sneak peek reveal of the evening – once again exclusive to all of you FANtastic FANatics!

It’s the second Outer Space Men characters from wave 3 – MYSTRON – THE MAN FROM HOLLOW EARTH!!

Again, this is a rough, unapproved prototype and he’s still missing his demon-blaster but you can definitely tell where this guy’s headed. We may turn out to be one of our favorites!

If you’re worried about limited articulation in the hips, that’s a new crotch underneath what will be a very soft PVC slip-over belt/shell. We have big plans for re-use of this crotch/slip-over shell combo in the future. Even outside the world of OSM!

Be sure to stop by booth #4045 at Comic Con to see these and LOTS of other new prototypes in person!

But wait–there’s more! The Horsemen also unveiled the revised prototypes of Symbiotech characters Tygos & Tygolith.

As promised, exclusive to all of you FANtastic FANatics (but feel free to re-post these wherever you want), it’s TYGOS & TYGOLITH!!

These two guys will be the first releases for Symbiotech, and if we can work it out, we may release a second Pygma and Goleth pair at the same time to create the first wave!

We’re extremely excited about the new Symbio-Lock articulation we’ve put into Tygos! He has ball & socket joints at the head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees, and ankles!!

The back-packs and other fittings on the character’s armor are compatible with Onell Designs: Glyos pop & play system!

Not only that, but the shoulder joints have also incorporated the Glyos build system into the ball & socket joint which will allow customizers a new level of interchangeability!!

Check out the photos, let us know what you think, and if you’re at Comic Con, please be sure to come by booth #4045 to see the original, non-updated prototypes of three more Symbiotech: Pygma/Goleth pairs!

While the Horsemen created these prototypes years ago, it doesn’t hurt that blue cat creatures are IN right now.

Now I know there are already some OSM converts around here, but what do people think of Symbiotech? Of course, I’m on board for pretty much anything the Horsemen do, but it’s still a new, unproven concept, a rarity in today’s market.
