To this day, I had never heard of Micronauts, until I just decided to use google to figure out what toy I had.

I didn't realize that the small ball-joint section could be moved to the side of the arm to make a 90 degree angle joint. Anyway, nope, didn't break anything. :)Brian Ashmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052674477473738205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339934783733755736.post-44592828398238639992011-02-21T19:36:14.382-05:002011-02-21T19:36:14.382-05:00An original or a Palisades repro?

Shop around and you can find some of them cheaper Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03578320444186472220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339934783733755736.post-40137804830952496012011-02-21T18:51:02.710-05:002011-02-21T18:51:02.710-05:00Thanks i plan on at lest picking up a Time Travele...Thanks i plan on at lest picking up a Time Traveler after i get my taxes back. : )Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05151310331721753861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339934783733755736.post-16207130044783977052011-02-21T18:33:43.855-05:002011-02-21T18:33:43.855-05:00Firstly, identify which series you want.

Both are excellent sites for fans of the Micro lines.<br /><br />I'm not sure what you mean about pulling apart the non-jointed arms. Do you mean the ''adaptor'' pieces that fit into the backpack?

I've learned quite a bit in last 24 hours about the Micronauts that I didn't know before... like the Azrak Hamway connection. That's hilarious. I also didn't realize that Mego grabbed the Baron from a different non-Microman toy line. That makes sense. I've always wondered why he was so different in Brian Ashmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052674477473738205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339934783733755736.post-21896477281266954572011-02-21T15:55:46.200-05:002011-02-21T15:55:46.200-05:00If you're picky and shop-smart, it's possi...If you're picky and shop-smart, it's possible to pick-up these pieces pretty easily.
