From an article in the Wall Street Journal comes the following information:
"J.J. Abrams, who created the TV show "Lost" and directed this summer's "Star Trek" film, is in discussions to produce a movie about Japanese toy line Micronauts, which Hasbro just acquired."
Now, while this isn't strictly speaking a Heroclix story, I figure the inclusion of Micronaut Bug in Hammer of Thor justifies its inclusion on my blog. Besides which, Micronauts were the big love of my childhood and I just had to share this with someone.
If enough people ask nicely I meet even post some pics of the Micronauts collection I have slowly been rebuilding (some guys by a sports car or have an affair when they hit 40 - I buy little plastic Time Travellers).
Update: Hasbro is reported to have told investors yesterday that they are bringing back the Micronauts. I'm assuming this will be a tie-up with a new film. Exciting stuff - just hope they don't deviate too much from the original designs/concept.

Acroyear? Marionette? Force Comander? (Space Commander - something like that?) The little robot (Micro?) the bigger robot that became a ship (Bitron or something) - I have incomplete memories of the Micronauts so I'd love to see some of the toys.
ReplyDeleteMarvel no longer own the Micronaut name do they? I therefore wonder if Bug will get the Micronaut Keyword?
ReplyDeletePeter David featured them in Captain Marvel a few years back and referred to them as 'The Microns" to get around copyright. Maybe they will use that.
80% sure bug has micronauts keyword
