OUTER SPACE MEN / MEN FROM PLUTO / PLUTONIANS / ELECTRON +

Planet of Origin: Pluto

Plutonians are a sentient species of energetic beings using plutonian matter to take shape and interact with the physical world, they have the ability to go bakc to their energetic form to travel great distances. It is unknown if they need plutonian conditions in order to assume physical shape elsewhere.

Men of Pluto action figures where commercialised in the sixties. Their story was told at the back of their blisterpack: 

The cold and desolate planet Pluto is too far from the sun ti derive its heat and, thus, the very atmosphere lies frozen and life as we know it cannot exist. But there, at the very edge of the Solar System, the great intergalactic winds that blow between the stars carry with them great mass of cosmic energy. In the beginning, this living energy bombarding the frozen planet did itself freeze to become living matter and, this, a might race of beings began. created of energy, they can become energy at will and Electron +, from his laboratory in Electra City, can transport himself throughout the universe as a beam of light.

OUTER SPACE MEN / MEN FROM NEPTUNE / NEPTUNIANS / TRITON PEOPLE / TRITONS / ASTRONAUTILUS

Planet or Origin: Neptune (or more probably, its moon Triton)

The Tritons are a peaceful amphibian species of cephalopods which developed an advanced civilisation capable of space faring. They possess 6 tentacular limbs, two of which are more muscular and used for on-land navigation as a tentacular trunk on their head.

Deep beneath the stormy seas of Neptune, great citiesloom majestically in the shimmering twilight of a vast and beautiful warer world. Here the mighty Triton. People live. Not content to see the sun as but a shimmer and the stars as tiny ripples glowing on the surface of the sea above, Astronautilus and his band of Triton mariners venture forth to sail and chart that greater ocean, Outer Space. Often visiting our planet they land, secretly, without all human knowledge, in the depths of Earth's great oçeans.

OUTER SPACE MEN / MEN FROM URANUS / URANIANS / ORBITRON

 

Planet of Origin: Uranus

The Uranians are highly advanced humanoids who have developed a peaceful space faring civilisation dedicated to accumulating knowledge. 

Men of Uranus action figures where commercialised in the sixties. Their story was told at the back of their blisterpack:

From the barren mountains of Uranus, great waves of thought reach out through the blackness of outer space probing the universe. Thus, Orbiton and the men of Uranus search the stars seeking the lost knowledge of the Ancient Ones. On great ships they travel to the farthest reaches of our galaxy and beyond. Able to read the minds of men, they have collected the knowledge of a thousand worlds, and yet they go on searching in a never ending quest to learn that which it has been ordained no man shall ever know.

OUTER SPACE MEN / MEN OF SATURN / SATURNIANS / XODIAC

Planet of Origin: Saturn

The Saturnians are a peaceful humanoid species which developed a highly advanced civilisation. It remains unknown if the species originated in the Saturnian sub-system, as conditions do not seem to allow such carbon-based lifeforms to develop there naturally, but have lived there for a time, being able of feats of planetary engineering such as building the Saturn's rings which they use to affect the gravitic conditions of their ecosphere as well as an interstellar communication system.

Men of Saturn action figures where commercialised in the sixties. Their story was told at the back of their blisterpack: 

Saturn is the most beautiful of all planets. Its symetrical rings give it a matchless grace and there is nothing else like them anywhere else in the Solar system. Constructed and placed in orbit by the Elders, milleniums ago, they give the people of Saturn complete mastery over the force of gravity on their planet. Thus, all work is done by perpetual motion and men can fly above their world in great machines tuned to the frequency of the rings. Freed from manual labor, the men of Saturn have developed great wisdom and the wisest among them is Xodiac. It is said of him that he can tune his Staff to play upon the great rings; the music of ther spheres resounding throughout the universe; to be heard by wise men everywhere.

OUTER SPACE MEN / MEN OF JUPITER / JUPITERIANS / JOVIANS / COLOSSUS REX

Planet of Origin: Jupiter

The Jovians are sentient heavy and scaly reptilian humanoid which seem to have developed a civilisation in zones of the planet Jupiter where life could emerge.

Men of Jupiter action figures where commercialised in the sixties. Their story was told at the back of their blisterpack:

From the huge red spot near the equator of the giant planet Jupiter, a great ship travels forth. On board is the mighty warrior Colossus Rex, strongest of the strong. The colossal strenght needed merely to survive the crushing pressure of the atmosphere and enormous force of gravity on his native Jupiter make him a veritable superman on other worlds. Invulnerable to attacks, invincible in battle, brute strenght is his only weapon. Yet no power in the galaxy can defeat him. We hope his mission is only to explore the universe and not conquer it.

OUTER SPACE MEN / VENUSIANS / MEN OF VENUS / GUARDIAN ANGELS / COMMANDER COMET

Planet of Origin: Venus

The Venusians are sentient humanoids looking strikingly similar to humans who have developed an highly advanced civilisation capable of space faring on Venus, building cities of which Olympus is the largest. They are known to have visited Earth as early as circa 1000 BC, landing in the Greek Isles where they were likened to gods. They since have kept a close watch over our planet.

Men of Venus action figures where commercialised in the sixties. Their story was told at the back of their blisterpack: 

From Olympus, largest of the great sky cities of Venus, the mighty cloud ship Cumulus sets forth. Like a fiery comet it blazes through the blackness of outer space toward our Earth. Its captain, Commander Comet, is a direct descendant of the mighty Zeus, leader of the historic first venusian expedition to Earth which landed near the Grecian Isles 3000 years ago. Commander Comet's present mission is one of routine surveillance and once within the atmosphere of Earth, his ship will join the great fleet of  Venusian crafts that float like clouds above our planet night and day, watching undetected over our world.

OUTER SPACE MEN / MEN FROM MARS / MARTIANS / LITTLE GREEN MEN / ALPHA 7

Planet of Origin: Mars

The Martians are short green skinned humanoids with a large head, wide eyes, pointy ears and a pair on antenna coming out of the top of their head. They developed an advanced civilisation capable of advanced space travel a long time ago when their planet was still able to sustain life. Some still survive deep below the surface but most have left their homeworld to wonder the cosmos, actively looking for a new home on whihc they could start anew.

Men of Mars action figures where commercialised in the sixties. Their story was told at the back of their blisterpack:

From below the surface of  the dying planet Mars, the descendants of a once great race live on. Above them the majestic cities have long since crumbled and the vast canals lie buried beneath a silent sea of rust red sands. With time and water running out, Alpha 7 and other members of the Martian Armada travel the galaxy in search of another suitable planet to make their own. Their  frequent reconnaissance missions and landings on our Earth have given rise to what most Earth men consider "wild stories" of "flying saucers" and "little green men".

OUTER SPACE MEN / MEN OF MERCURY / MERCURIANS / INFERNO / VOLCAN PEOPLE

Planet of Origin: Mercury

The Mercurians are a humanoid species that developed an advanced civilisation on the first planet of the Solar System. Not much is known about Mercurian biology, but their body appears to be made to endure temperatures as high as 700 Kelvin (430 degrees Celsius). As a side effect, they seem to be quite vulnerable to the effects of colder ones and will resort to special suits allowing them to keep their heat when travelling off world.

Men of Mercury action figures where commercialised in the sixties. Their story was told at the back of their blisterpack:

On Mercury, the planet nearest to the Sun, great rivers of molten lava churn and flow past majestic cities, glowing red hot in the blinding radiance of the Sun. Here, in tempeature so great that life as we know it would be consumed in a flash, the mighty volcan people live - beings of living fire that burns eternally. Protected by suits of thermal alloy, lest the freezing cold of outer space would snuff them out, INFERNO and the Men of Mercury travel the universe in the great chariots of fire that we call comets.
