As mentioned earlier, Denys Fisher Cyborg toys were quickly replaced with Mego Micronauts figures, an offshoot of Takara's massive Microman line in Japan. Following the success of Marvels Ant Man and his journey into the 'Quantum realm', the smart money is getting behind Micronauts as the next big thing. Hasbro have optioned a new figure line and theres rumour of a crossover with its historical relative Transformers. What shape the new figures and attendant comic strip may arrive in is anybodys guess, but the original line and their more recent Microman iterations are still wonderful toys.
Wonderful pictures.They highlight the translucent quality of these toys that I have always admired.
ReplyDeleteWonderful action figure poses and super vivid images. Very enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteGreat micro shots Bill. That top model looks like Han in Carbonite!
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorite toys from back when.
ReplyDeleteI'm very curious to see if the new ones will keep the chrome and translucent elements (I suspect they won't...)
Sorry Bill, but Collosus Rex from the Colourfotms Outerspacemen would have just pulled this upstart's limbs from its sockets. The Outerspacemen had translucent weapons several thousand years before Microman. Ypu wanna fight about it? Behind the bike sheds after skoo! ha ha
