Micronaut Resurrection?

With a special nod to my ability to fixate on things, I found an interesting interview about Micronauts in 2006 by a fellow at SOTA (State of the Art) Games. It seems they are considering re-releasing the old micronaut series in a new 6" poseable figure. Above is a picture of the Space Glider Prototype from a toy convention.

I am definitely heading for a divorce if I allow myself the luxury of going Micronaut Maniacal.

Micronauts Redux

Call me sentimental. Call me dumb. I bought a collectors set of 4 unopened micronaut figures on ebay for about $20. Don't tell my wife!

Micronaughts?

Straight out of ThinkGeek.com, these Acrobots remind me of a childhood toy I once had. Micronaughts were little robot men with all kinds of outlandish vehicles which "transformed" through creative assembly of various parts.

I remember fondly days spent playing with these toys. I had motorized elevator lifts, and faction "wars" and all kinds of hyper-imaginative fun with them. I even had friends come over to play Micronaught wars with me.

Ah the good old days....

I want a couple just for the sense of familiarity from my childhood toys. Hmmmm....I wonder if micronaughts still exist somewhere in the world of e-bay. Wouldn't my wife just love it if I ordered up some Collectors Item "Micronaught Super-Deluxe Dreadnaught Battle Cruiser" to display in the home theater?
