Micronauts movie?
« on: February 23, 2012, 10:01:16 PM »
found these two articles today talking about J.J. Abrams possibly producing a Micronauts movie. I noticed in both articles that they mentioned Hasbro picking up the license to produce the toys. The micronauts line from 76 to 80, produced by Mego, set the standard for 3 3/4 inch figures that inspired the Star Wars line and GI-Joe line to use the same scale. I understand that they were also the precursor to the transformer line which used some of the designs left over from the Micronauts when their line ended in 1980. That is not to mention the Marvel title that ran longer than the line that I read when I was a kid and always felt that the first 10 issues would have made a heck of a movie.

Outside of the Hobbit, this movie being made is really getting my hopes up. Thanks for keeping us informed Clint.
