Posted on by
Micronauts Biotron and Baron Karza

Super7, in conjunction with Hasbro, have announced a brand new line of action figures based on the iconic Micronauts!

In 1976, kids were captivated by the sci-fi action figures of the  mighty Micronauts. Now, on the cusp of their 50th anniversary, Super7 is reintroducing the Micronauts to those same kids—now grown up—for a trip down memory lane.

Making their debut as part of Super7’s ReAction+ line, Biotron and Baron Karza bring the nostalgia of classic figures to life with authentic O-Ring construction and 12 points of articulation. Adults, kids and anyone in between, can join the adventure and shape the  fate of the Microverse as these beloved characters leap from page back into toy form! 

Biotron

Upon completion of a 1000 years mission exploring the Microverse, Biotron has returned home to find it under the oppression of Baron Karza’s totalitarian regime. Along with his fellow heroes, Biotron formed The Micronauts and dedicated his life to save the Microverse from the evil Baron Karza! How fitting that he should lead the brand new Micronauts ReAction+ Figure line! Inspired by his vintage toy counterparts from the 1970s, this 3.75” scale Biotron ReAction+ Figure is designed to look and feel like the original toy and features O-Ring construction, with 12 points of articulation for ultimate poseability! Outfitted with a treadpack accessory and packed on a blister cardback, the fate of the Microverse will literally be in your hands when you pick up this Biotron ReAction+ Figure!

Inspired by his vintage toy counterparts from the 1970s, this 3.75” scale Baron Karza ReAction+ Figure is designed to look and feel like the original toy and features O-Ring construction, with 12 points of articulation for ultimate poseability!

The Micronauts return to Marvel in a new omnibus collection!

Posted on by

Earlier this week, Marvel announced a new collaboration with Hasbro that would result in new collections of Rom the Spaceknight’s beloved comic book adventures. Marvel has revealed that another popular toy-originating comic book series will receive the same treatment: The Micronauts!

From out of the Microverse, it’s the Omnibus you thought could never happen! The subatomic superstars headlined a long-running series packed with rich world-building, fascinating mythology and big-scale, sci-fi excellence! With the series set in the main Marvel Comics universe, the Micronauts joined forces with the X-Men and the Fantastic Four and dared to go up against the likes of Doctor Doom, Arcade, and other iconic Marvel super villains. Like ROM, these exemplary comic book classics were written by industry legend Bill Mantlo and will be reprinted for the first time ever in Micronauts: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus, on sale April 2024. In anticipation for this long-awaited collection, fans can also pick up a facsimile edition of the Micronauts’ comic book debut, 1979’s Micronauts #1, this September!

Micronauts: The Original Marvel Years Omnibsu Vol. 1 will collect The Micronauts (1979) #1-29 & Annual (1979) #1-2 and material from Micronauts Special Edition (1983) #1-5. Helmed by writer Bill Mantlo, the Micronauts brought together the subatomic heroes of Homeworld and the Marvel Universe. Mantlo’s rich character mythology and groundbreaking artwork by Michael Golden made the series an instant classic. In Micronauts, Commander Rann, Princess Mari, Biotron, Acroyear and Bug traverse the universe aboard the microship Endeavor as they struggle to free Homeworld from the tyrannical Baron Karza. Their exploits also bring them to Earth where our micro-sized heroes encounter big-time heroes and villains including the Fantastic Four, Doctor Doom, S.H.I.E.L.D., Captain Universe and Man-Thing. This Omnibus edition presents a stunning restoration, complete with letters pages and a host of bonus material, including house ads, original artwork and more.

Micronauts #1 Fascimile Edition boldly re-presents Micronauts (1979) #1, one of the all-time great Marvel comic books, in its original form, ads and all! They came from inner space! Explorer Arcturus Rann! Freedom-fighting princess Marionette! The armored warrior Acroyear! Fun-loving thief Bug! The robots Microton and Biotron! They are the greatest heroes of the Microverse! But after 1,000 years in suspended animation, Rann has returned to a Homeworld vastly changed from the one he knew — and Mari’s family was killed in the coup d’état that saw Baron Karza rise to power. Now, together with their allies, they begin their epic quest to free Homeworld from the tyrannical Karza’s iron grip in the first chapter of an acclaimed comic-book space opera from the legendary creative pairing of Bill Mantlo and Michael Golden!

Michael Golden’s Micronauts Artist’s Edition Celebrates the Masterful Illustration of Miniature Heroes

Posted on by

In June, IDW Publishing will release the latest addition to its multiple Eisner Award-winning AE line with Michael Golden’s Micronauts Artist’s Edition.

Over 40 years ago, Marvel debuted the influential Micronauts comic book series, licensed at the time from the Mego Corporation (the Micronauts brand has since been acquired by Hasbro). The original series quickly amassed a hardcore fan following, one that survives decades later thanks to the mesmerizing narrative by Bill Mantlo and otherworldly illustration of Michael Golden and fellow artists.

Out of print for 35 years, six complete issues of Micronauts (#3, #7-9, and #11-12) will be collected in the 184-page Artist’s Edition, alongside a gallery section of more than a dozen covers, art rarities from the era, and additional pages that represent some of Michael Golden’s very best from the Micronauts series. This gorgeous hardcover measures 12” x 17”.

As with all Artist’s Editions, nearly every gorgeous plate will be reproduced from scans of the original art and printed at the same size they were drawn, with all the distinctive creative nuances that make original art unique – a perfect representation of the work in its original form.

IDW will donate a portion of profits to the long-term medical care of Bill Mantlo, who has received treatment for cognitive and memory impairment since a 1992 hit-and-run accident.
