The couple discovered that flexible, paper-thin colored vinyl could stick to glossy surfaces without adhesives, allowing for endless repositioning and creativity¹. This led to the creation of Colorforms, a toy that consists of vinyl shapes that can be arranged on a laminated paperboard background to create various designs and scenes. Over the years, Colorforms has evolved to include full-color illustrated playsets, games, puzzles, interactive books, and creative activity sets for children of all ages. The brand has become a beloved classic, with more than a billion Colorforms playsets produced and sold since its inception. The success of Colorforms can be attributed to its innovative approach to play and its ability to license popular media properties. Early collaborations included characters like Popeye the Sailor Man and the Beatles, which helped to boost the brand's popularity. The company has continued to thrive by adapting to changing trends and incorporating contemporary pop culture into its products¹. Today, Colorforms remains a staple in the toy industry, known for promoting creative expression, concentration skills, and manual dexterity in young children. The **Colorforms Outer Space Men** line was introduced in 1968 as a departure from the company's typical two-dimensional toy lines. These bendable action figures, also known as Colorform Aliens, were designed by Mel Birnkrant and featured a series of extraterrestrial characters from different planets. The figures were made of soft, flexible plastic and included various accessories, allowing children to create their own space adventures. The Outer Space Men line was a unique and imaginative addition to the Colorforms brand, capturing the excitement of the space race era. **Alpha 7** is one of the figures from the Outer Space Men line. This character is depicted as a small, green alien from the planet Alpha Centauri The figure stands out with its distinctive design, featuring a transparent helmet and a detailed spacesuit. Alpha 7, like the other figures in the line, is bendable and comes with accessories that enhance the play experience. The figure's unique appearance and imaginative backstory have made it a favorite among collectors and fans of vintage toys.
