MICRONAUTS was a toy range launched by Mego Corporation in 1976, after they signed a deal with toy manufacturers Takara. Based on the latter's 'Microman' toy range, the concept for Micronauts involved all their figures, vehicles and playsets being modular, and connected by a unique 5mm peg and hole system, thus, pieces could be configured and re-shaped according to the child's fevered imagination. Although Micronauts lasted only until 1979-80, when Mego went bust, the concept was to surface again and again, most recently in early 2002 with the Palisades project, intended to recreate the original lineup with better quality.
