I remember getting the first wave of these for my birthday and then the second wave were waiting for me on a Friday afternoon as my parents picked me up from school, good times.

Great pic! Don’t tell me you had the Ampzilla too? Can’t wait to get into a bigger space so I can properly display my Micronauts!
Great work Tom
Wow, Tom! Great artwork…though I am very ashamed to admit that I had not heard of Ampzilla before today. I will hereby rip up my membership card in the Micronauts fan club. ;)
Ampzilla is nothing, I had the Terraphant and Hornetroid, that was a gooooood Christmas
Ampzilla is really not impressive, or much fun to play with, but an uber rare, several hundred dollar final cherry on top of your Micronauts collection. I did have a Lobstros, which was cool, but I sold it and used the dough to buy a bunch of lesser toys I didn’t have yet.
