I played with my Metal Men with the Micronauts. They just added to the multiverse.

My grandmother got me the set marked "18" in this catalog shot! I thought they were great toys, and should have been Micronauts! (I had no idea they were actually copied from Microman toys.)

Hi, This is TR.
Holy BEEP! I used to have that metal man with the spring-loaded wings!

Thanks for the memories, Plaid Stallion!

While I'm here, shoot me an email and let me know if you'll be participating in this year's Halloween Countdown. Thanks!

I had a ll the metal men, but mine differed a bit from the catalog photos. My saucer was grey and not a shiny metallic blue or purple, and I also has a wedge shaped rocket ship with a clear canopy and the letters NASA in red on the sides. This came with an astronaut shaped metal man. The 4-pc UFO set was not part of the group, and the 2 gold metal men came later.

I still have them all, though a couple suffer from metal fatigue with either loose joints or broken off limbs. One of my astronauts broke at the waste and was combined with a plastic tank to make him resemble somewhat that cyborg that joind up with Han, Chewbacca and the big green bunny in the early post movie adaptation Star Wars comics.
