I have to say that everything SOTA has planned will rock. I mean--Lord Raptor!! The reason I dig Frankenpunker is because of his resemblance to lord Raptor!! And Cthulhus! And Micronauts redux! Not insane clown posse tho--they suck.

Hey, Bleighdzes-
Glad to be the bearer of good news, man! Those are the only two I've seen pictures of, but I sure hope that the other two show up as well . . . ditto for the boomers.

If you find these being sold somewhere online, please keep me informed. I'll do the same for you if I come across them. Good Lord, I've been waiting a long time to see Knight Saber figs, since the early 90s I think, or whenever it was that I saw a fan dubbed bootleg of the series. ;D I think the super find, if they made more from this series, would be "DD", that vampire mech.

I picked up issue 92 of ToyFare magazine yesterday. It has an article about these SOTA micronauts. its a really interesting article, so you might want to look for it.
some highlights-- -micronauts are the favorite toyline of SOTA president Jerry Macaluso. -He wanted the figures to be a blend of what he always wanted them to be as a kid. -each figure will have interchangable parts, etc example- the lobster guy has a second waist with more legs -they had to scale things back to keep it at the 20 dollar range -3 released this year, and 3 next year, etc. (Sounds like a specialty figure) --(paraphrase)with a creative line like micronauts, we've all got our own "this is how it should be redone" thoughts, and we probably won't all agree 100% on those thoughts.
I think they look good, but i'm not sure i want to spend 20 bucks on each of them. But from reading this article I can understand his viewpoint.

(Ah, the memories . . . . ) To this day, the designs for the girls' hardsuits remain some of my all-time favorite designs for anything. Like you, I've been waiting for these babies for a very long time now. When I spot these online, I'll definitely give you a heads up. (Heck, I'll even let you know if I see them in any of the shops here where I live.) In the meantime, I'll be sure to let you know if I find anything along the lines of pictures or information regarding Nene and Sylia's figures, or any other BGC toys.

The only two action figures I kept from the great childhood toy purge of 2000 was an original Baron Karza and Andromeda (the horsey). Simply the coolest of the cool. Black with the red pasties, chest missles, interchangeable parts. Wicked cool.
I thought the New Karza was pretty stinking cool too, and would seriously consider it, especially if its well-articulated. I'm a little disappointed that it's all plastic. That die-cast and magnet joint thing of the original figure was light years ahead of its time.

[glow=red,2,300]i'm really liking the newer bionicle figures. their evolution into real figures with actual limbs seems to be flying under the radar of those like me that are into crazy articulation. its worth taking a look at. i am getting big on these bionicles. [/glow]

I really wish those Knights Kingdom figure had the same type of articulation that Bionicle has.
