Microman

[Bryce]

Can anyone give me a brief overview of Microman? I know this kind of like giving a brief history of the rise and fall of the Roman Empoire but could someone try to go over the important parts? I know nothing about the subject but am really intreasted.

Yellloow? Anyone home?

Hey Bryce... I hear ya, but I don't know the answer

Well, apparently they used to make kinda wimpy articulated spacy looking figures. I have no idea what they are or what their story is but now the articulation ROCKS! Pretty much really small Marvel Legends, and they make great Ant-Man customs. That's about as helpful as I can be.

Thanks, I got a couple of the new ones but they arnt microman, (their batman and catwoman) it seems like everything you hear these days is microman, and I am getting left behind.

Here's a little more info. They appear to be imports from Japan that are being released by Diamond. Some of the names seem to be the same from the old Micronauts series that was released by Mego in the late 70's. I'm not sure what the connection is.

Here's some links with pics from Diamond's site:

Cool, are you going to get any of these? Whats the deal with the ones Palisades are doing?

[Captain Coder]

Here ya go Bryce. There's some good info in this article:

We may eventually get them, but we don't deal in the newer toys.

Thanks that claifies a lot. Was anybody here around when the Micronauts first came out? I just missed this one. I was under the impression that the Micronauts was THE big thing back then.
