Cool Stuff: The Micronauts!
This time around, it's a gallery of Mego's Micronauts, a line of toys that came out between the time I thought I was too old for toys, and the time I decided to heck with it, I can buy toys for myself if I want to!

I remember these, vaguely. I don't think I ever had any, though.
ReplyDeleteI too think I saw some Micronaut toys (circa late Autumn of 1979?) but didn't buy any (dang) I really liked the first run they had in their own Marvel comic title (Michael Golden? artwork)
ReplyDeleteCool post Jon; thanks

Glad you liked them!
ReplyDeleteNice mint in box samples!
ReplyDeleteYou can see some in depth info on the toyline at http://www.innerspaceonline.com
Also more info on their much larger original Japanese parent toyline, Microman at http://www.microforever.com
:D
Thanks, Rockettubes... hopefully, my readers interested in more about the Micronauts will go check those sites out!
ReplyDeleteOh how I loved my MICRONAUTS toys! This post brought a tear to my eye!
ReplyDeleteAlso I just wanted to let you know I have awarded you a ONE LOVELY BLOG award... http://tinyurl.com/ykbtxsd
I was never seriously invested in Micronauts, but I loved my orange Time Traveler (though I would've preferred a blue one) and Giant Acroyear I got for Christmas in '77 or '78. Mostly, they served as droids/vehicles for my Star Wars figure universe, but they I still have a special place in my heart for them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Al! It may take a few days for me to get around to my awarding it to others!
ReplyDeleteJoseph - Sounds like this post brought back some nice memories to you!
