I had never til this day owned one of them. I saw them in clearence at Toys R US but also got side tracked by other toys.

These came out right around that time where I was telling people I was too old for toys, but would always secretly check them out in the store.

And, of course, there was that one time...

As with Bill, I was a bit too old as well ...

A younger friend of mine had a few back in the day ....

I didn't like them.

I thought they were all suppose to be robots or something (i'm still not sure what they are) ... but at the time playing being a robot wasn't very appealing.

I never did (and still don't know their backstory)

I liked the Micronauts quite alot, I had a fair amount of them as a kid. But I admit that I was a bit bummed after a while that they didn't have figures that closely matched the characters in the Marvel comic, which I was also a big fan of.

I somehow missed out on Micronauts. Maybe the small pieces scared my mom away, or more than likely, they weren't super heroes, and I didn't have any interest in them at the time.

Either way, no nostalgia the for me, but I can admire their ingenuity.

Funny you could get a vehicle, (Hydra & Galactic Cruiser), for the same price as a figure. Cann't do that now a days.

I loved the toys and the comic book. In my adult years I amassed quite a collection of them. I was still young enough to enjoy Megos, Star Wars figures and Micronauts fit right in. They really captured my imagination. The sci-fi ships had great details. I had hoped the Pallisaides comeback would open the door to more characters being adapted from the old Marvel Comic but the comeback fizzled due to quality control problems.

The American toys didn't have one; which was something I liked about them. I was always a sucker for the weird, no-name action figures 'cos I could make up the stories myself. When the Marvel comic came out, they changed a lot of things from the toys. The characters became little people instead of little robot guys. People who lived in a microscopic world. (Which turned out to be one discovered by Reed Richards in the first few issues of the Fantastic Four; although I didn't know that at the time since I didn't care for superheroes when I was a kid.)

The original Japanese story is that they're survivours of the planet "Micro-Earth" which blew up a long time ago. They were mutated into little robot guys by space radiation and eventually crashed here; along with their arch-enemies, the Acroyears.

I was just the right age to really have fun with these when they came out.
They were cool.
They were somewhat interchangable.
And they had cool motorized vehicles.
And some even had darts you could fire.
What 10 year old wouldn't love them.

I spent just as much time drooling over them in the xmas catalogs as I did the Star Wars stuff I would never get.
