Hasbro to bring back Micronauts

[pmwasson]

Very exciting. Can't wait to see what happens.

Wow, WGSH AND Micronauts. What are we bringing back next, mutton chops?

Seriously, I wonder if they will make new toys under the Micronauts banner or re-release the older characters, etc.

It only makes sense, if it wasn't for Hasbro, there might not have been any Micronauts in the first place (GI Joe > Takara gets license for GI Joe in Japan > Takara creates Henshin Cyborg based on GI Joe body > Takara "shrinks" Henshin Cyborg to create Microman). It's like things have come full circle (leaving out Mego's Micronauts, and Takara's Microman line's continued evolution helped lead to Hasbro's Transformers).

That is interesting news. It will be fun to see what they come up with.

There were some interesting signs. During the summer, a third party was granted trademark on the Micronauts marks, seeming to end the constant trademark battle over Micronauts between AGE and Takara.

Takara had also cooked up some very play-worthy, Micro-change like toys that found themselves quite out-of-place in the Transformers Bay-movie toy line.

Last week AGE filed for media trademarks, using the same address and attorney as that third party.

But I think this should be good. Hasbro + Takara = win, as far as I'm concerned.

Cool, didn't see this coming.
