In the mid to late 70's, Mego began a media blitz. They were running strong as a company, so it would make perfect sense to advertise on TV. Mego had commercials for every aspect of their varied line, from "Planet of the Apes" to "Kiss", from "Ballbusters" to "Woodies"...and thankfully the Micronauts were not left out. Mego produced a whole slew of 30 second slots of pure heaven for any kid watching Saturday morning cartoons. In 1978 the main idea behind the Micronaut commercials were to show kids and parents there was no wrong way to assemble a Micronaut toy. They had made 2 different types of commercials, one geared toward the adult showing the "educational" value, and one toward the child showing how cool the toys were. Well, it certainly worked. Mego ran these spots non-stop, from January through December and spent approximately $3,500,000 on the advertising. The best part about this whole thing was that some of the commercials showed prototypes of toys that ended up never being released, like Iguanos and Equestron. So some lucky kids out there got a chance to play with some of the most rare and sought after Micronaut toys of all time. When watching the commercials today...it's really hard not to hate those damn kids...
