Micronauts, Hornetroid, 1979
Man.... I LOVED that toy as a kid..... push the button and the wings flap... open the front pinchers and when a figure hits that middle "tongue"-like part they close... [img]smile.gif[/img]
I changed the silly thing on the end though.... he was supposed to be a HORNET... so I put a long hingee thingee on his tail.... with a spring-loaded rocket launcher. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Hehehe, sweet man! Yeah, I had one as a kid too, and played with it until it was in pieces. Wasn't the most durable toy. I think all I have left from my original is the laser gun on his tail. lol
Pretty nice, is he complete? Looks like it's in great shape at that. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
The Battle Cruiser was the only Micro vehicle I had, but considering all the ways you can configure it, I had no complaints.
Neat-O-Jet!
Yeah, he is in incredible shape. Doesn't appear to have ever been played with. Maybe displayed. And yeah, it is near complete with instuctions. The only thing it is missing, is the sticker sheet, which I don't care about, because I never liked the stickers anyway. I won it on eBay for only $20! Can't be beat!

Sweet! And on a side note have you ever thought about having a "Your vintage toy of the day" where board members would take pictures of their actual vintage toys and submit them to you?

People are welcome to send in their own pictures for that. The only problem with doing that, is that a lot of people around here don't really collect vintage toys. It is easier for most involved if I just find a generic picture of said item.
If you want to be a part of "Your Vintage Toy of the Day", do so now, because there are only 2 more spots open.
