I loved the Micro Collection when I was a kid. I never had a problem pretending that the awkwardly sculpted characters were still able to blast away at each other. That was the power of imagination.

Han Solo Dance is worth the like and thumbs up from me!

I had a ton of these as a kid. As a teenager I used em as pieces for the West End Games Star Wars RPG.

That nod to “The Princess Bride” had me rolling! Thank you. When I was a kid desperately trying to earn allowance money and get good grades to obtain more figures and vehicles, I was enamored thumbing through the little included product preview catalogues with the micro play sets. However, I wouldn’t bite because all resources were needed to get the main line figures and vehicles and, while the micro play sets were awesome, the die cast figures were questionable concerning playability. You know, I had gotten as a kid the Return of the Jedi Battle at Sarlacc Pit board game and love playing with the plastic figures of our heroes vs Boba Fett and Jabba’s guards for hours. So I think these micro toys had a lot of potential, it’s just that the main line toys were so damn awesome, you’d only love the micro toys if someone accidentally bought them for you as a present.

When i sent away for my free Emperor, they took so long to send it that when i received it, they sent 5 Micro Snowtroopers as a way to "apologize" for the delay. This happen to anyone else?

Three years later and I still hear that song every time during that scene where Vader is “strutting” down the corridor.

You didn't mention the fact that this was the only time Kenner gave Luke a BLUE lightsaber when it was the correct color for the figure.

Haha, the Kylie Minogue references.

Yo I dig the Kylie Minogue album on da shelf and references hahaha. Mad respect.

Those Micro figures make great miniatures for gaming.

I am dying with all of the Kylie references!!! That was a fantastic intro.

"You are using Benito's defense on me EH!" Best Retro Blasting skit/joke evah!

This is definitely my favourite 'Follies' video. Michael swing dancing was a particular highlight 😀

Absolutely cherished these as a kid!!

Mike and Melinda, this is actually one of my top five favorite videos you’ve ever produced. Thank you!

An outstanding video about a terrific line! I was always more into vehicles as a child than action figures, and I LOVED the Micro Collection with all of its mechanical gimmicks. (An X-Wing and TIE fighter that you could blow up and repair and fight again in a flash?!? SOLD!!! :D ) For me, this more than made up for the characters frozen in their poses. I had the Micro X-wing and TIE as well as the Freeze Chamber, Wampa cave, Snowspeeder and Millennium Falcon! By brother also had the Death Star set with the exploding turret (which perfectly complimented the X-wing and TIE) and the Bespin gantry. These were my all time favorite Star Wars toys! Hell, they were my FAVORITE TOYS I EVER HAD, period!!!! Thanks for taking me back. :)

The Bespin sets were, are and probably will always be my favorite toys of all time.

Another masterpiece! Thanks for continuing to produce such high level content!!

This is basically the only video I watch on your channel because the squatting swing dancing & music Solo pose cracks me up every time.

Great video as always. You guys always remind me of the awesome toys I had and forgot about. Lots of great memories with these. :)

Great video once again, Michael!

Another excellent episode. Thank you guys for all the hard work and effort you put into your videos!

Finally a comprehensive review of the Micro Collection! Keep up the great work on this channel Mike and Melinda. I so wish that Bacta Tank playset would have seen the light of day. :)

What a trip down memory lane! Thank you for your efforts. Love the new intro. I didnt own these but a friend did. They were hard to tear myself away from.

Awesome video as always Mike,

Excellent video as always! Lot's of fun knowing about theses SW lines as alot didn't really reach us in Sweden back in the 80's.

I am only a kid but still are inspired by your videos. At the start of the year we had all modern Star Wars toys and now at the end we have Kenner figures from Star Wars,empire,and Jedi, thanks

7:30 Vader strutting cracked me up XD

I'm here to watch again. I love this video

I enjoy your clever writing. Thumbs up!

Wow, this definitely showed everything I need to know about the micro line thanks for an awesome video! That Han Solo Carbonite feature is my favorite!

Wow. This was such a great episode. I was always intrigued by the Micro Collection, but I never got any since I was committed to the 3 3/4 inch figures. Now that I'm older, I appreciate these more than I did as a kid.

The TV commercials for these sets are forever etched into my mind

I love Star Wars Follies! Keep up the wonderful videos Michael and Melinda!

I learned a lot in this one. Great work guys!

Holy crap you live in what is practically a mansion!! Also, great video as per usual, keep up the work!

Congratulations Retroblasting. These is probably your best video of 2016 and we are less than few days away from "Rogue One".

well, I know what I'll be collecting next. awesome video!

great video guys !

Congrats on 20,000 subs!

I used to have the Micro X-wing, Tie fighter and Snow speeder that you showed as a kid. I never knew what this line up is called until today! Thanks, Retroblasting for making me remember some fun time as a kid! Cheers!

These are fantastic! Thank you!

Loved these as a kid!!

I haven't watched the video yet, but just wanted to let you know that I just got home from a friends house and it is nearly 2am here in Grantham UK and this is the best thing ever to come home to. I already know I'm in a safe place with great content and people that seem like friends. Thank's for this year's video's and I hope you both have a great Christmas and a fantastic New year. Right now time to watch. Love to you from across the pond.

Thank you for featuring the Micro Collection! This is probably the only series of toys where I managed to acquire all of them. And that includes the Falcon, snow speeder, and extra rebel and imperial snow troopers. I didn't mind that figures weren't posable. I liked that the scale was smaller because they didn't take up so much space. They were probably less expensive too. As a kid I was only vaguely aware of prices. If only I had kept it.

Great video as usual and love the Lets Get To It album on display

Nice dance moves Michael! Funniest video yet.

thanks for the awesome video. that bit about crouching han had me in tears 😂

I never knew about that exclusive Falcon. Awesome! As always you're on point with childhood frustrations. Boba Fet, Lando, and upward shooting Luke frustrated me to no end. I loved the idea of the die casts more than I loved playing with them.

I wish there were more ‘thumbs up’ buttons for this video! This is the greatest Star Wars toy video! So entertaining and hilarious !! Thank you so much for this content ! My whole family loves this video. -SithLotus

Okay, that does it! When I get home, I'm gonna break these classic sets outta storage & set 'em up, reliving some awesome childhood memories!

I was going to say amazing house but read the other comments. Very, very sneaky. Awesome video. I got all excited when I saw that it was a Star Wars follies video!

This is a great video. Good job. Those sets would be great for a DnD session.

Great episode, I'm spinning around and can't get you out of head!

I still remember getting that Falcon, I was 7, and it was marked down something crazy..best toy 🤘

As much as these criticisms are cracking me up, these paved the way for the AWESOME 90's sets of Micro Machines from Galoob. I never really even knew these old ones existed till I found out about them many years later. These are seriously cool how they are modular too. I'd still give them an easy 9/10

excellent video !!

Great channel my friend!

I absolutely adore diecast miniatures, I also am a raving starwars fan. This is literally a match made in heaven.

This brings back so many Great memories I believe my dad bought me all the micro series toys. My cousins and my friends played with these toys all the time.

haha the laughing snowy had me and your dancing han...brilliant

Awesome video

Another great video

Tenth time watching but sill as good as the first time Retroblasting will be vintage one day I know it

Damn. That's a swank crib you restin' yo' head in, at the top, Dawg. Baller.

Loved these ones.

Always worth the wait!

Micro Snow Speeder?!?!? MIND=BLOWN

Awesome video, another great chapter. I love my Bespin World, but that Death Star II set would have been awesome.

Excellent video! You'd show a feature and I'd remember the commercial for it that I forgot I saw :]

I had the carbon freezing chamber . It would drop Han into it , and come out frozen in carbonite . I loved it!

I had these as a kid. I loved them

lol Am I the only one more excited for your new videos than seeing Rogue One?

Great point about the Lando hatch in the micro Falcon. When I got the Big Millenium Falcon a few years back I expected -- with all the bells and whistles that came with that great vehicle -- that they would have included the Lando hatch too. Alas.

The Han Solo Crapping and Swing The Blaster Dance! lol Loved it! Very amusing young man! ;)

Your house looks amazing!

Lobot is doing a 70s dance in his figure, nice video.

Awesome take on these. I never was able to get these, but I collected the Galoob Star Wars (probably the plastic version of these) They also had "folding" players with similar figures which bent at the hip. They also came out with "static" figures sets

these were really cool,i wish i had more of them. i did have a friend that had the whole Hoth world,we played with that a lot,so much fun.

Nice Princess Bride dialogue inclusion!

this was a great video. i never had any of these. the only thing missing from hoth was the AT-AT.

Enjoyable review.

I've been saying this for years and it's been agreed by many a fan and collector that the reason why Kenner didn't manufacture many playset after the Death Star of 1978 was because it was expensive to produce and other countries outside the US refused to import it. that's why the Palit oy Death Star was cardboard. While it's maddening that Kenner didn't produce an interactive Be spin playset. Can you imagine the size and therefore retail prices of a proper scale model? No way was Kenner going to do that. The European market wouldn't buy into it. The Micro Collection was I believe an attempt at trying to give proper representations of these environments and at reasonable costs that other markets would also buy into.

Just watched this for a second time. How did I miss the Kylie references!? Brilliant!

Man, I loved these so much when I was a kid! I managed to get everything except the Death Star world and the snow speeder and Millennium Falcon.

great video

great video i only had the wampa cave one bought in lionel playworld in 1989 yes 1989 i remembeR they were still selling till 1990 then by 91 i didnt see them anymore i thought they weRe cool but i couldnt find the others to complete the set either way thx for another great memory of toys from kid born in 1979

I can't believe that I neglected to Like this video until now. I've probably watched this ten or more times!

The Vader using the force figure looks like hes trying to do the saturday night fever pose but his arm is getting too tired.

I thought BV was going to "put you back on schedule" with retro blasting HQ. "I see you have constructed a new archive, your skills are complete. Indeed you are powerful."

When theres a Vader skit it’s like you get two episodes of Retro Blasting xD he’s a great character !

I had the Bespin set - man it got a LOT of play!

Man, Han Solo taking a crap while swing dancing gave me a snort, lol. Brilliant, informative and hilarious video, as always!

Don't underestimate the popularity of the diecast 😂 As a kid, whenever, I took my diecast Millennium Falcon into infants school on a toy day. It was the most popular toy.

Great vid. I never had any of the micro collection, but they're really, really neat. It is indeed such a shame they weren't 3 1/4" scale playsets. BTW, that jacket you're wearing in the opening is amazing.

Han Solo dance is fantastic!!!!! Thanks!

Yey! Broken Vader is back! :D

My brother and I had the Bespin gantry and window and a couple of the Hoth sets...I always wanted a mini Princess Leia

I had every one of the sets except the Hoth Base. I loved them and had alot of fun with them.

great video would love to see you tackle the latter era of GI Joe like 1991
