The Colorform Aliens AKA Outer Space Men included seven "bendy" action figures (similar to Mattel's Major Matt Mason) produced by the Colorform Company in the late 1960's. As "bendy" action figures, each 3.5" to 7" figure incorporated bendable wires encased in semi-hard rubber. Each fictional figure represented a different alien race from various planets in the solar system.
Figures in the series include:
- Alpha 7 the Man from Mars
- Astro-Nautilus the Man from Neptune
- Commander Comet the Man from Venus
- Colossus Rex the Man from Jupiter
- Electron+ the Man from Pluto
- Orbitron the Man from Uranus
- Xodiac the Man from Saturn
Each figure included some type of weapon while some included a helmet or other accessory. There was also a proposed Second Series that never made it to market, although a few examples both carded and loose exist.
Figures in the proposed 2nd series include:
- Cyclops the Giant from Beyond the Milky Way
- Gamma X the Man from the 4th Dimension
- Gemini the Man from Twin Star Algol
- Inferno the Flame Man of Mercury
- Metamorpho the Man from Alpha Centauri
- Mystron the Man from Hollow Earth
Also Produced:
- Space Warriors Colorforms Playset
- Space Warriors Alpha 7 Puzzle
- Space Warriors Electron+ Puzzle
- Space Warriors Orbitron Puzzle
- Space Warriors Colossus Rex Puzzle
The Puzzles are unusual as some also depict the 2nd series figures. The figures were also licensed to Bullmark of Japan, who produced some hollow vinyl figures for the asian markets. Some small knock-off figures exist, both as wired-armature, rubber "bendy" figures and hard plastic figures (included in playsets).
