Repto was my favorite of the aliens as a kid. He was a member of my hero team instead of being a villain and even got a "coveted" spot in my 12 figure Space Case.

@terryquick7564 11 ай бұрын

Same with me! Rep to took the Superman role as being the alien hero that inspired other heroes. His power level was comparable to that of Martian Manhunter. The only bad thing about the toy that I got for Christmas was Santa forgot to include the laser saw in mine 😢

@theevilascotcompany9255 5 ай бұрын

I had a similar sentiment toward Repto, although I knew he wasn't supposed to be a good guy, so for me he was a merciless antihero who played by his own rules.

@HappyFam991 4 жыл бұрын

I was lucky enough to be able to buy Repto, Membros, and Antron all at the same time in the late 70's at KB Toy & Hobby. I still remember admiring the card art, so much so that I held on to the cards themselves for years.

For some reason I was obsessed with lizard men as a child. So Repto was one of my favorite figures. The only Flash Gordon figure I owned was the weird reptile woman with a wacky pole arm. She had substantial mammary glands for some odd reason. Some designer was unclear on the difference between reptiles and mammals.

I had the same "Lizard Man" thing, I blame Sleestaks and the TV movie "Gargoyles" as major influences.

@nehukybis 4 жыл бұрын

@@BrickMantooth Holy crap Gargoyles! One of my earliest memories was being at a drive in and being so terrified of these creepy lizard people I spent most of the movie hiding under the dashboard. It bugged me for decades that I couldn't figure out what the movie was... nothing seemed to fit. Eventually the internet rediscovered the movie. I am sure it's that TV movie, released to drive ins. Discovered the reason they were so creepy is that they had the actors move in slo-mo while the camera operator cranked the film by hand. So the movements are really jerky and unnatural. What a bizarrely obscure movie. (I don't think that explains the lizard man obsession though... I'll bet that was just a development of my earlier obsession with dinosaurs. I found a really good rubber lizard mask, built a costume around it and wore it to a Star Trek convention).

And that's all. Never can buy Membros and Repto or Acroyear. Nostalgia for these toys. I've dreamt very much with these toys before Star Wars, playing several years with big pleasure. That was just wonderful for imaginary but this serie have short life in my city. All this serie disapear very quickely from Stores and doesn't know why.

The interchangeable aspect is what made this line and how everything could be used with most everything else. I never knew that about the box art, thanks for sharing.

Yup Got Membros and Repto and the Mini Centaur. Got a bunch of them carefully packed in storage. They are in a custom large cardboard box with my drawings, Comic clippings, and catalog spreads of the toys. I colored the whole box with black magic markers to mimic the pitch black packaging they had back then. I was 10 years old. Got a ton of the comic books too. My friend and I were constantly drawing some of the characters and vehicles- then Star Wars and BattleStar Galactica hit the theaters- and we were trying to draw anything we could from those worlds! It was a glorious time.

My Micronauts collection isn't very big- just Biotron, Microtron, Giant Acroyear, a couple of Time Travelers, a Cosmo-Man (by Hourtoy), three aliens, and Battle Cruiser and Rocket Tubes in their original boxes. A few years ago I bought Antron, Membros, and Repto incomplete, then slowly bought their missing accessories on Ebay and completed them. Like you, I caught a glimpse of some toys in my parents' bedroom closet a few days before Christmas. Then my sister and I pretended to be surprised on Christmas morning. Those were the days.

Amazing. I had (actually, still HAVE) most of the Micronaut's line-up, including the three that are shown in your vid. Little did I know that there were several more toys that came out! I guess at THAT point, I grew too old for them, but I secured them all in a safe place after I stopped playing with them! Now... I want to break them out and pick up where I left off. I mowed a LOT of lawns and shoveled a LOT of sidewalks/driveways in order to afford them. Heck, a simple, single TIME TRAVELLER... which was the CHEAPEST of the line, was $1.99... and any of the smaller, single-seat vehicles were $3.99. The most expensive pieces of my collection was the BATTLE-CRUISER and ROCKET TUBES, which went for $149.99 respectively! MAN... those were the good-ol' days!!

Antron and Membros were favorites in my Star Wars battles. They had very distinct personalities and when I got the other aliens my Imperial forces were very powerful. There was that ad on TV with the Terraphant shooting water onto a sandcastle and the narrator saying it was spraying acid. This inspired many sandbox battles where the Micronauts were defending against the Terraphant and Membros. Sadly the water feature on the Terraphant was poorly designed and only dribbled ; giving the Terraphant the apparance of a runny nose. Still, they were favorites then and are favorites to this day.
