Is it normal that I cam for the TFs but stayed for the rest?

Most get eclipsed by this mega green badass in the back. Who is he?

They are mostly reissues. My brothher is six years older. He had all the OG Micronauts, so all the toys that survived live in his collection. I DID play with them though.
Heres the low down.

Classic Microman - Takara reissues circa '99 and on
Micronauts - Palisades reissues - circa 2002-03
Microman revival:
Magne Power circa '99
LED Powers circa 2000-02
Micro Force circa 03-07

This got me to thinking, what qualifies as vintage? Cars are classic at 20 years. So are those Magne Power and LED Powers pushing vintage at 15, 16 years?

Two cool places to look at men and nauts are:

Yes you do, and just those two. They're kinda the Arkenstones of my dragons hoard.

Story: I was jazzed (and apparently, one of few) when I saw MP Red Alert coming. My first "new scale" MP I might add. That Diaclone had been packed up for so long, in my mind I had Diaclone Alert. It wasn't until recently, when I unpacked him, that I was reminded he was a police car.
anyway, I love Red Alert. Hows many fire chiefs youz seenta drivin' a Lambo?

I need to rev up the ol' google engine and find out Polambor and Tricerablue's real names. I've never known.

Not only is it normal, it's natural.

That is Robotman Endeavor from the 1999 Magne Power - Series 3 "Super Microman".
He is amazing. He does this...

In giant robot mode a figure can ride in his chest. He can also be freestyle cobbled into all kinds of wacky and ridiculous alt modes via 5mm p&p, and the "Magne" system.
I LOVE the modularity of ALL Microman, and the old work with the new thanks to 5mm.

I think I will name this shelf, "An Overview In Ancient History".

Thanks guys.

Well it was in addition to Shajaki's post about diaclone. I wanted to know if you still had the mini diaclone figures that came with the diaclone transformers so that all those hidden seats didnt have to be empty all the time. I think they called them pilots.

I was just jivin' ya. Did you find them? They are driving Ratchet's sled and Roller. They are the micro-ist of Microman.

but the police car is more rare right? thats cool! makes me wonder if we'll get more diaclone love from the MP lambo mold (ie: clampdown/deepcover).

and to answer yor question: 7.

shajaki wrote:but the police car is more rare right? thats cool!

I don't know.

Are these names something you've heard wind of? If they do this. I will... , and then buy one.

I google boxed for their names, and Everything I found points to "Clampdown" for the Lambor, and Dinosaur Robo Triceratops for the Slag. BO-RING.

as MP's? naw. but hastak has been known officially recognize diaclones and give them TF names. they did for the police lambos in the form of e-hobby exclusives as clampdown and deepcover.

The turn of the century, til 2007. I did a little break down in the 2nd post on this page.

Isn't he just sumfin'?

The pink guy is a reissue Micronaut called Emperor. He magnetically combines with his horse, Megas, for centaur mode.

The big guy is Giant Acroyer from the Microman Magne Power series cica '99. It will be worth your time to go here and check out all of his ridiculousness.

I'm glad you enjoyed your taste of a new flavor of Takara robo candy.

Never got into the Microman or Micronauts but they sure look fun.

Well you can come over here and play anytime.

Awe oh! I didn't mean to give you an itch. Be careful scratching it. It could spread to your savings account.
I wish I could give you advice on where to find some, but they may be hard to come by these days.
Be careful.

Holy **** Cobs you got the touch in this matter

Got it off the interweb. Those guys are all just posed in front of the monitor.
Image search, "HD Space", wonderful things will appear.

I am in awe. Never in my dreams have I seen anything like it...I can only say the following:
"I'm not worthy!" *cue wayne's world skit*

Ahem.

You've really built yourself an awesome collection there love the way you integrated the microman toys. One question though, on which side is jeeg fighting for?
