Palisades Toys "gift" set

 
 
 
With the release of the Series 2 Micronauts, a companion piece to the gold Baron Karza and Andromeda set was inevitable...but which Magno figure should it be? A very easy choice indeed, as the Red Falcon figure was quickly decided upon. Dubbed the "gift" set, it was a shocking announcement to other collectors who had thoughtlessly contributed loose figures for Palisades Series 2 production, and was to be given to them as a thank you for all their help! The Series 1 Karza set unfortunately was subjected to the incompetence of the first production factory, and instead of being cast in gold colored plastic, it was painted in gold. Still a nice looking figure, but not the original intent. With the new factory's superior production, the "gold" Falcon is properly cast in gold and clear plastic, and is a very stunning piece indeed.
 
 
     
 
 
 

The gold highlights play off the clear plastic very well. In falcon mode, it becomes an amazing "stealth" type warbird. The new Fal-Cannon accessory and original sword are both cast in the clear plastic, and the whole set comes packaged similar to the regular release.

 
 
Production numbers are scarce, but it is believed that the gold Karza set numbers into the hundreds. Since regular production of the Series 2 was much lower than Series 1, numbers for the gold Falcon set are rumored to be under 50...making this possibly the most limited Palisades Micronaut release ever!
