"We have to find new fans, and the way to do that is to basically make what I’m calling the “Ferrari of action figures” - Jerry Macaluso, President SOTA Toys

Micronauts Evolution Designs

Summer 2005 brings us:
MICRONAUTS EVOLUTION

Randy Queen was heavily involved in designing the new Micronauts: Evolution figures coming this summer from SOTA toys! This is the first reinterpretation of these classic 70's toys, Space Glider, Lobros, and evil Galactic Tyrant, Baron Karza, to ever hit the toy marketplace! Bringing an aesthetic sensibility of the new millennium to beloved classics was a true challenge for SOTA toys, and everyone involved! These are truly the "Ferrari of action figures", forged into creation out of the sheer love, and passion for the characters by SOTA president, sculptor, and Micronaut aficionado, Jerry Macolouso. No expense was spared, and no corners were cut to create the absolute classiest production, and high end toy line available. These three figures look like elegant statue maquettes for a proposed Micronauts film, but also benefit from having incredible articulation, even more so than SOTA's hit line of STREET FIGHTER action figures!

"The mandate was honor the original motifs, but make them fresh. I think we did." - Randy Queen  

"The future of toys is CHANGING. Micronauts Evolution!" - Sarah Oates

We are pleased to have helped visualize the Micronauts for a new audience, and can promise that this was a true, honest to goodness labor of love for the fine folks at SOTA. They are making these the classiest line of figures available, because that is what they want in their own toys!

Unbelievable articulation! Awesome Assesories, and Ultra cool design combine to help BLAST the MICRONAUTS into your universe this SUMMER! www.sotatoys.com
