Great find. Less CUTE than the usual Micronaut tribute vinyls.
I hate it when I miss a cool design, but with designer vinyls, 2010 is a long time ago. Mego is way safer to collect than designer stuff. Plus Mego Collectors hang on to toys longer than 3 months

Technically they have sold out
Cosmic Squadron Home (http://www.cosmicsquadron.bigcartel.com/)

But after some digging I found the official sales site that Matt is selling them through overseas.
The prices are not much more than the $65 Comicon prices, but as usual postage is a killer.

The guy seems more like an “Outerpace Man” (http://members.cox.net/colorformsouterspacemen/) than Micronaut. Not really my style but it’s nice to see another Micro-homage out there!

The regular version is more "Buzz Lightyear", so silver head, clear yellow body definitely their nod to Micronauts (just as the latest incarnation of the Outer Space Men have their Micronaut themed variants in translucent and silver)
