YMMV / Micronauts

Go To

  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The toys remained popular in Italy for a few years after their all too brief popularity in America. Known over there as "I Micronauti", their run of the toyline included several figures that were not part of the American line, especially the Magno-figures such as King Atlas, Green Baron, Red Falcon, and Emperor Megas.
  • Spiritual Successor: In the form of Revell's Robolinks, which was an export of Japan's Blockman toyline. Like the Microman toyline that Micronauts is based off of, Blockman was also produced by Takara.
    • Parts of the toyline were revived both by Mego and other companies for years. There were the Interchangeables, just a Palette Swap of the original toys. There were the Lords of Light, which included reissues of several of the Micronauts' "Aliens" subline of figures, with the gimmick that you could put a glowing lightstick in their chests. And several of the Micronauts' vehicles wound up recolored for Mego's Pocket Super Heroes line. And, as mentioned above, Palisades briefly brought the original line back in the mid 2000's. It should be noted that the original Japanese Microman toyline on which all of this (and many of the original Transformers as well) is based is still going strong in Japan.
