While the Micro Machines collection is known primarily for sizing down automobiles, it has also featured several playsets including 1991's fold-out Super Van City. Licensed character products would often be fold-open heads including miniature characters and vehicles interactive with their playset environment. Micro Machines also utilized several diverse features such as color-changing cars and "Private Eyes" vehicles that even allowed one to peek inside and view an illustration of the contents. David Galoob's assessment notwithstanding, the wide-ranging and highly lauded Star Trek Micro Machines sub-line from the mid-1990s became very popular among Star Trek collectors for years, despite performing below the company's sales expectations at the times of their release. (see below) Consequently, its action figure lines were not only small, but were judged inaccurately-molded and had to endure a number of errors during production and release. " It just never really hit its stride at retail," Galoob added, (and) " never was anything like Star Wars , and ultimately we dropped it." Clemens V. Hedeen, Jr. (Fun City USA / Hedeen International), Patti Jo Hedeen, Ned Cain (Fun Maker/Hedeen and Companies) The Micro Machines brand was revived for a few years in response to the popularity of the similar Speedeez brand. Hasbro also opted to use many fantasy castings in the revival. The revival only lasted a couple of years.

I have most of them. The only ones I seem to be missing are Sisko's Bajoran Sailing Ship, Caretaker Array and the Kazon Torpedo. My AGT Ent. D seems to have disapeared in the move at some point, and hopefully I will find her again. Overall, the original Micromachines that were the first to be produced are the best sculpts. After that, they seem to get gradually worse. The Defiant is aweful, but it's a collectors item. The HMS Bounty is probably my favorite one. I have that one in the console in my car. Don't know why, but it's there. It's the only BOP model on the market that has pivoting wings. Well, the Strike Force one had them too, but the wings pivoted in the wrong place and it threw the rest of the ship out of proportion.Micro Machines hold a special place in the hearts of many who grew up in the 80s and 90s. These characterful miniature toy cars, also called Galoob Micro Machines, were manufactured by the company Galoob between 1987 and 1999. Before its acquisition by Hasbro, Galoob held three separate Star Trek licenses. It produced the first action figures and toys based on Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1988, created a line of figures for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier in 1989, and finally released a series of Star Trek "Micro Machines" starship miniatures from 1993 until 1997. An Enterprise-D micro machine made an in-universe appearance as late as 2023 in Star Trek: Picard's third season opening episode " The Next Generation", when a bar patron, who was surreptitiously observing Jean-Luc Picard and William T. Riker, absentmindedly dropped one in the glass tumbler of his beverage. The model was sold at Guinan's bar as a memento for the occasion of Frontier Day. Another way to identify Micro Machines is to look for the level of detail on the toys. Many Micro Machines sets and cars feature a high level of detail, including intricate paint jobs and small moving parts. 4. Find the model Micro Machines are a line of toys originally made by Galoob (now part of Hasbro) in the mid-1980s and throughout the 1990s. Micro Machines are tiny scale component style "playsets" and vehicles that are slightly larger than N scale.

What you are talking about was made by I think the name of the company was Romando. Up until recently you could by these at: Go to products tab,then candy toys then I think starfleet and alien ships. They sold out on the ones you are talking about, but still have the ships by Furuta, out of Japan Micro Machines had a well-known advertising campaign in the 1980s involving fast-talker John Moschitta Jr. The commercials featured pitches in his trademark speedy style and ended with the slogan "If it doesn't say Micro Machines, it's not the real thing!".The license for larger-scaled Star Trek (toy) ship models passed to Galoob's successor, Playmates Toys, which, envious of the success Galoob had enjoyed with its Action Fleet toy line (particularly for Star Wars), unsuccessfully tried to emulate the formula with the Star Trek: Strike Force line in 1997. Wow, I think they look really good on my shelf. Anyone else love these things? I find myself wanting multiples of different ships to have little fleets.
