They came from Inner Space...
|
In the 1970's the Mego Corporation established itself as a major force in modern toy production.
The prolific success of licensing popular film, TV & comic book properties such as Planet of the Apes,
Space 1999 & Star Trek spawned various ranges of well crafted 8" action figures which became synonymous with the Mego tag. 
In 1976 a deal was cut with Japanese toy giant Takara granting Mego the license to import a line of modular, highly articulated figures known in Japan as 'Microman'.
 Measuring around
10cm high Microman was actually derived from a larger line of 12" Takara figures known as Henshin Cyborg - now regarded with
legendary status - and rightly so! With the license secured the Microman line set sail for US shores where it would eventually
appear repackaged under the Mego banner as the Micronauts.
