Super7 to make Micronuats

[PNGwynne]

That'd be great.

I'm guessing the other two figures to be released may be a Force Commander and a Phobos (repaints or remolds in different colored plastic, with new heads)?

Dana

I had the exact same thought about Force Commander. For the second figure, I have my fingers crossed for Bug....

I don't doubt that they're going to make a force commander and phobos inevitably. But i think for wave 2 specifically, a time traveler is more likely. And either Lobros or Antron, since Brian Flynn mentioned Lords of Light variants are on the table too. And in general, they probably want to mix up character types a bit and not put out nothing but robotic looking characters for the first few waves.

I swear that I recall reading that Super7 is coming out with a ROM, Spaceknight item. Has anyone heard anything about this?

It was Loyal Subjects. Rom was listed in a press release they put out last year (along with Mask, Jem and some other properties).

Thanks.

I’d love to see more ROM stuff.

Looks like Microtron and Force Commander are going to be wave 2. Super 7 posted the image for Microtron but the text was for Force Commander, oops.

yep got the email Force Commander and Microtron

[powersthatbe]

they are both available now for pre order at BBTS.

I bought the Force Commander and Microtron figures and they are pretty amazing! Yay!

Hey gang,

I asked this before, and I can’t remember the answer.

What company (not Hasbro’s Marvel Legends)announced that they were going to do something ROM: Spaceknight related? And was it ever announced what exactly?

Thanks!

[powersthatbe]

That would be The Loyal Subjects who recently redid MASK Hopefully if they do It would be the original PB version. Anyway I just saw from FB the next micronaut reaction is Lord Meto who from what i saw from the artwork is gold and black.

[danadoll]

I'm so happy I was correct in guessing about Phobos coming out... Whoooo! I bought the Emperor, the blue and yellow Time travelers, plus the new Phobos and the orange Time Traveler.

I have the whole set, so far. These little guys are so cool.

I just wish they had the 5 mm hole and peg system like the original Micronauts. That would make these figures the ultimate come back for me.

As the Super7 Micronauts series continues, we may soon see a Nemesis figure, the opaque color Time Travelers (red, yellow, blue, and green), maybe a clear Time Traveler (clear plastics can be tricky, with the yellowing issues they can have), but beyond those, who knows?

Man, I love this Super7 Micronauts line so far, but they are starting to lose me.

I loved Micronauts as a child, both the Mego toys and the Marvel comic book. They are some of the very few childhood toys I kept all these years, through various stages of adulthood/immediate financial need/changing tastes.

I even bought as many of the Pallisades Micronauts from 20+ years ago as I could find. And as for this new Super7 line, I bought all of the first two waves. And I will buy their version of "The Emperor." But it's not a character familiar to my childhood. Nor is Phobos. And I already have four original Mego Time Travelers. So rather than new Super7 versions of Time Traveller in various familiar, basic colors, I would strongly prefer, maybe, a glow-in-the-dark one or something new. (Like the Pallisades medic version)

I have watched multiple interviews over several years with Super7's Brian Flynn talking about this Micronauts line. I know he is a passionate fan. I heard him once explain that the Marvel comics crossover characters (including Marionette and Bug) can't be made into figures for legal reasons. I totally get that. And I am genuinely convinced that he tried as hard as anyone possibly could to make that happen. So it bumms me out to say that, those are the two characters I personally really wanted and, from this point, after an in-scale Biotron, Microtron, Baron Karza and Force Commander, I'm not really incentivized to pay $25 for any other 3.75" scale Micronauts figures other than Bug and Marionette. And I am a lifelong Micronats fan who still buys action figures in his 50s. So if Super7 loses me as a Micronauts buyer, that's not a good portent for the future....

[danadoll]

I do wish at least, Marvel would make those few characters that they came up with into action figures (I would prefer to see them in 3.75 inch scale too)... Bug, Princess Mari/Marionette, Huntarr, Devil and Fireflyte, maybe a Commander Rann too (they don't have to mention his Space Glider background).

They could go with their current comic team name, "Enigma Force", to avoid any Micronauts copyright issues.
