No Micronauts Toy Fair news?
You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Tags: None -
I went to the Figures.com index for Hasbro and there's no Micronauts section. I think it's unlikely we'll see anything this year. According to imdb.com, the movie isn't scheduled until 2012, and it's still in pre-production so who knows if it'll even happen. Though if JJ Abrahms stays attached, I think it's likely to get made, since he's got a great track record.
Though he's also attached to Trek 2 and Mission Impossible IV, so who knows when we could get these.
But the time is ripe for a 2nd revival of Micronauts, since the 3 3/4" scale is hitting big nowadays.Comment

I'd love to get some classics re-released, but I'm not sure if I want to start collecting new versions of the characters.Comment

I loved how Palisades did it - same molds with new colors, and new accessories added in. So we got a slew of new Time Travelers, Phariods, Galactic Defenders, Space Gliders, Aliens, and magnetic figures. Plus Takara was doing reissues of original figures we never saw over here, like the Spy Magician, Rescue Set, and the Microknights and others that if I bought vintage they'd be pricey to get, so that was awesome.
I wish the line had kept going.Comment

Microman - both new and re-issue stuff - dead at Takara-Tomy in Japan right now.
I haven't heard anything from Toy Fair yet. Its possible it might be part of a private information session, but there's no rumor of that either.
Perhaps its just too soon for them to offer anything at all. There are a lot of potential directions for their efforts to go - original designs, reissues of the circa-2000 Magnepower line and media property, etc etc - and each probably requiring a lot of study.Micronauts Collector, Historian, Consultant

But there's enough for me to spend money on this year as it is.Comment
