Info for this is still vague but it looks like a new product is in the works, if you like the idea of robot action figures check out this Facebook page about a new line called Astrobots...
https://www.facebook.com/Astrobot08/?fref=mentions They are 1/12 scale (roughly 6 inches) and look to have a ton of pose-ability, no price range yet or release date, the Facebook page has only been active since March 28, 2018. I know I wouldn't mind getting one if the price is reasonable, paint it up in cammo colors to stomp around with my 'Joes as heavy support.

I heard the idea of a Micronauts Biotron repaint being a Con exclusive or whatnot; which would be cool.

Bit of an update: pre-orders will begin on the 12th so in just 7 days and will be handled by Toynotch, the company that gave us the Lost Planet line of 1:18th scale figures. Their site can be found here:

These are cool, but I doubt I will buy them. They just aren't quite cool enough. Maybe some other color schemes and I will buy in.

Has anyone bought the figures and can say how good the quality is?

The figures are not for sale yet. They will go up for pre-order on the 12th.

There was the previous run of 3DPrinted Astrobots that can be reviewed; but as they were done with a wholly-different manufacturing process than this next batch I suspect the usefulness of any such reviews.

They began posting a comic to support the new figure line on their Facebook page. Available in Chinese, Spanish and English.

Not sure if anyone has been that interested in this line but I'll keep updating it. Today was the day that pre-orders were going to be up on Toynotch's store but a message via Facebook says that there is a delay as they are migrating to a larger server. They did not say how long it was going to take but at least they said something.
