"With
Magno power action, and firing fists and missles, leader of the evil Acroyear,
enemy of the Micronauts"
|
|
Released
in 1977, the Baron was as evil as it gets. While Geag sported bright candy
colors, the Mego Magnos were all molded in one basic color. A boxed item
packaged in a styrofoam tray, Baron Karza was all black with red highlights.
The magnetic ball/socket joints allowed the figure to have many different
points of articulation. He was also compatible with the 5mm peg system,
and came with two black universal magnetic ball joints, which helped with
the magno interchangeability.

 |
|
Other
accessories included a large 5mm adaptor (which held the rockets to the
back), three small red missiles which shot from a stomach port, and four
fists ( two which shot from the forearms, and two extra for when you lost
them). Along with the universal joint that fit in with the backpack, it
included two large black missile holders, replete with 5mm pegs, and two
large cone shaped red missiles. Any missiles could be fired from any port.

There
are two variations of the Karza figure, most notably with the head sculpt.
The Japan version has a smaller mouth, and the eyes are more slanted and
brighter red, and is mostly hollowed out, stamped on the underside of
the foot, it reads "made in Japan". The Hong Kong version has a larger
mouth, and more triangular shaped eyes which are a darker red, and the
head is mostly solid plastic, and the stamp on the figures back reads
"made in Hong Kong". Apart from this the figures are identical and as
evil as can be.

A gray
with red highlights version Count Magno was
released by the Hourtoy company, and M&D toys released a gray with blue
highlights Count Magno as part of their Inter-changeables
line.

"With
magno power action, firing missiles, Baron Karza's star stallion" While
Geag's stallion Panzeroid was mostly white and blue, the stallions followed
the same basic color pattern as their Magno counterparts. Released in
1977, Andromeda was a boxed item packed in a clear plastic tray, and was
molded mostly in black with grey highlights.
|
|
The
removable head, four legs, and main body were black, with the adjustable
torso joint, main and removable hooves and tail in grey. Aside from the
magnetic balls, which resided in the torso section, Andromeda had two
magno ports on either side of his body. Two red universal magno joints
held black and red missile launchers, which fired small red cone shaped
plastic missiles. The four missiles and the four hooves came packaged
on a small plastic tree. Later releases included a more rounded tail and
missiles possibly for safety purposes.

Other
accessories included four grey wheel covers(or hubs) two large and two
small red wheels. The smaller wheels came with rubber treads, and when
the shaft of the wheel cover was placed through the hole in the wheel,
they could be attached to the main torso, in place of the legs, to form
a tank vehicle. And of course, removal of the horses head allowed the
figure to be placed in it's spot to form a centaur. Andromeda was also
packaged with a small sticker sheet.

A
gray with red highlights version of Andromeda called Magna
Steed was released by the Hourtoy company, and M&D toys released an
all gray Magna Steed
as part of their Inter-changeables line.
