Sitting on an army of Toygraph Space Troopers, i'm relieved to see that a few Western Designers are stepping up and putting their signature spin on a beloved, but slightly over exposed toy. The first out of the gate is Brian Flynn's Ghost Trooper in signature Super7 orange and black. This could be one of my favorite Flynn designs to date. Probably because it's a riff on the vinyl gateway Ghost Fighter by Secret Base. My understanding is that a Space Trooper has lost his helmet in space and this is what happens. Bummer. I'd love to see this toy in more clear colorways. I have an extra helmet lying around. I might try to do something showing the ghosts ripping out of the helmet or something.
Next up to design Space Troopers are Bob Conge and L'amour Supreme
