Super7 to make Micronuats

[danadoll]

I suppose this is slightly off-topic as it has to do with Micronauts but not Super7. There is a guy that makes custom Bug figures in the Micronauts/Microman size. He sells them under Shawn Markel (@mad_man.markel) on Instagram. Toy Polloi did a review of his Black Hole figure that might give an idea of the quality.

That Bug figure is pretty cool! I might give him some business.

Hey, as long as it isn't anything made by Mathew Ignash from Utica, Michigan who goes by "Scaleface" AND "My Flea Market Treasures" on Ebay (He's really anti-LGBTQ+, so I won't be giving him my business... Ever!) and "mathewignash" on the Cults3d and Yeggi websites, I'll check it out.

That does look really cool: thank you for highlighting it here! I never would've known about this otherwise....

I still believe Hasbro will make some Legends Marvel Micronauts at some point. The last couple years they have done ROM and Crystar so we'll see.

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.

In this same spirit, I was hoping that maybe Super7 could make a 'generic' version of Bug by calling him 'Galactic Defender' (his original Micronauts inspiration, I understand), but just with a green, insect-like visage. I am sure that Super7/Brian Flynn must have considered this idea, but were dissuaded for legal reasons.

My secondary hope was that Super7 would remake the Micronaut Alien characters, among my personal favorites as a kid and now among the most expensive on eBay. I assume that Super7 hasn't done this because there aren't great re-use possibilities for those molds. So not really a financially viable idea in 2026. (My Palisades version of Membros is now a little gummy.)

Lastly, I was lucky to be able to buy, many years ago, the Palisades version of Space Glider repainted to resemble Commander Rann from the Marvel comic book.

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....

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?

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.

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!

[danadoll]

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

Dana

[powersthatbe]

they are both available now for pre order at BBTS.

[tmthor]

yep got the email Force Commander and Microtron

[Dannyc]

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.
