They are mostly reissues. My brothher is six years older. He had all the OG Micronauts, so all the toys that survived live in his collection. I DID play with them though.
Heres the low down.
Classic Microman - Takara reissues circa '99 and on
Micronauts - Palisades reissues - circa 2002-03
Microman revival:
Magne Power circa '99
LED Powers circa 2000-02
Micro Force circa 03-07
This got me to thinking, what qualifies as vintage? Cars are classic at 20 years. So are those Magne Power and LED Powers pushing vintage at 15, 16 years?
Two cool places to look at men and nauts are:

Yes you do, and just those two. They're kinda the Arkenstones of my dragons hoard.
Story: I was jazzed (and apparently, one of few) when I saw MP Red Alert coming. My first "new scale" MP I might add. That Diaclone had been packed up for so long, in my mind I had Diaclone Alert. It wasn't until recently, when I unpacked him, that I was reminded he was a police car.
anyway, I love Red Alert. Hows many fire chiefs youz seenta drivin' a Lambo?
I need to rev up the ol' google engine and find out Polambor and Tricerablue's real names. I've never known.

Not only is it normal, it's

That is Robotman Endeavor from the 1999 Magne Power - Series 3 "Super Microman".
He is amazing. He does this...
In giant robot mode a figure can ride in his chest. He can also be freestyle cobbled into all kinds of wacky and ridiculous alt modes via 5mm p&p, and the "Magne" system.
I LOVE the modularity of ALL Microman, and the old work with the new thanks to 5mm.
I think I will name this shelf, "An Overview In Ancient History".
Thanks guys.
