The Micronauts were the US market issues of the original Japanese market Microman line. Before that, was a 12" clear figure called henshin cyborg. The cyborg was Takara's innovation on Hasbros GI joe. Takara had the license to make and sell the 12" joe bodies in Japan. Then they put electroplated parts in a clear body and came out BIOTRON5https://www.blogger.com/profile/07482236049114597729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339934783733755736.post-4910617453691993802011-02-26T23:25:42.072-05:002011-02-26T23:25:42.072-05:00If somebody takes the time to read my stuff, I'...If somebody takes the time to read my stuff, I'm grateful.

I don't know if you've seen much of the Microman toys (the toy line they were adapted from) but some of the modern ones are excellent, too (even if they lack the nostalgia value of the Micronauts.)<br /><br />It'll be interesting to see how the Micronauts movie spins-out.<br /><br />And ROM was awesome.
