Micronauts vs Voltron
|
have to go with the toy that had the bigger impact in the 80s, and is still remembered today, far more than the other. Voltron.
|
Voltron left such a lasting impression on me that I hated power rangers because I thought it was a straight live action rip off, unaware of the plethora of robot combiner type shows from Japan. but yeah Voltron all the way

Going with Micronauts, without their influence Kenner would not have made 3-3/4" Star Wars and going by that, Hasbro would not have taken that influence onto GI Joe A Real American Hero.

And I'll form the head

Unlike Kenner though, Hasbro still had GI Joe with full articulation like the 12" predecessors, only at 3-3/4" scale, and vehicles/playsets inspired by a mix of real-world military hardware and imagination. So instead of the sci fi of Star Wars, you could opt for more movement and military stuff with GI Joe A Real American Hero. I don't think any of that would have happened without Micronauts. I voted Micronauts mostly due to the legacy(Microman in Japan) and influence on subsequent action figure brands such as Star Wars and GI Joe. |

This isn't to say that the Adventure People line wasn't an influence but from what I read Microman was a big influence on Star Wars. |
