"Half Man Half Reptile From the Distant Planet of Sauria"
"Terrifying
Half-Man, Half-Reptile from the Distant Planet of Sauria", this alien marauder's
armored reptilian body is augmented with lethal weapons grafted into his forearms.
One of the most bizarre Micronaut Aliens, his angular head features an exposed
glowing brain. Both his classic weapons and new talons are interchangeable with
other Micronauts." Released in 2003, the text from the file card says it all!
These new Reptos were replicated from the old Mego Repto,
and come in one "vintage" and three new color schemes: "vintage" green, blue,
translucent purple and clear. |

tapped into collector's minds to tweak this new Series 2 to perfection, from the
color schemes to accessories. Along with new hands designed by Dave Waugh, Micronauts
GGI artist Bryan Wilkinson added the design of the new devastating Saurian Mace
weapon. Along with the weapons, the hands, cuffs and wings are all fully interchangeable
with the rest of the vintage and repro line. |

Another
new feature included with the Palisades figures are fantastic "crack-n-peel"
stickers (packaged to the left of the figure inside the bubble) showing off the
fantastic artwork of artist Dave Dorman. The reverse of the card shows off the
same artwork again, this time as part of a collectible file card. The Repto "microbyte"
reads: "The Micronauts Aliens' extra-terrestrial origins were only briefly described
on their 1970's packages, leaving their true allegiances and intentions to collector's
imaginations." |  |

 | These 4 different Reptos are all equally packed, 1 per case, inside a case of 16 figures. Lastly, an Alien specific figure stand was included in the package.
All in all, the Palisades retro series 2 for 2003 is a welcomed addition into the Microverse. |
