Another in my line of recreations of the Micronaut aliens from the 70's, just finished him up after what seems like months, but that time was mostly me waiting to find the right parts.
This guy is made of a little of everything... Head - SW vintage series 4-LOM Neck - HT mini Aliens figure Legs - SW Geonosian warrior Arms - SW Kiteek Ked Kak (cantina patron) Wings - one of those transformer insecticon knock-offs you find at Big Lots Gun - modified GI Joe ROC Storm Shadow nano gun Brain - custom sculpted by me, and it actually glows in the dark! Two more and I'll have all the Micronaut aliens finished. Here's a shot of the original Kronos. |

That is one awesome custom. Whatever happened to Hasbro ressurecting Micronauts?

That is a pure beauty!
As far as Hasbro doing something with Micronauts, they have been really, really quiet. JJ Abrams still has his name attached to a possible movie and that is about it. |

So you have more recreations of the aliens?
I'd love to see those. (and if you check my Flickr account you'll see I'm a bit a Micro freak...also reflected in my avatar) Keep up the awesome work! |

Thanks for the kind words, and yes facehammer, I have a few others that I have completed. I'm a big Micronaut fan, I have only a few from the original series, but a ton of Microman.
Weezus, sorry for the bad pictures, I'll try taking a few more, hopefully better, photos. My camera is super sensetive, the smallest tremor and I get nothing. |

I'm looking forward to seeing them. Not to add to your project, but there were a couple aliens that were designed but never released...
If you dig through my Flickr account, I have a couple custom cast Aliens that I have done. One Antron and 4 different Lobros. |

Retook photos, I don't know if they are an improvement, I think my camera is taking one part and focusing on it instead of the larger view, so some of it comes out blurry.
Facehammer, all this time I did NOT know that! I'll take a look as I was thinking about doing a seventh alien. I'd also like to see the customs you did...I'll be taking a more in-depth look. nelly54ram, I think the gloss coat has the most to do with it's insect-y look, but I did try and do various shades of green to give it some depth. |

Maybe it was just one alien that didn't make it, but here is a link to the drawing, plus a computer render by the one and only MicroBry...
http://archive.rockettubes.net/cobroid.html I'll have to check, but I thought for sure there was another one. There was also a proposed Micronauts aliens base. There was a prototype of that one. (and the prototypes for the Hornetroid and Terraphant were also very different from the finals...) Kind of a cool thing that Mego added to the Micronauts instead of just smacking their label onto the Microman figures. |
