Description

Micronauts Acroyear (Gold) AFA Y80 ** POP 3, 3rd Highest Grade, Only 3 Higher ** (Mego, 1977). One of the fiercest warriors in the Micronauts universe, Acroyear was introduced in 1977 as a centerpiece of Mego's groundbreaking sci-fi line adapted from Takara's Microman. The Gold variant offered here is among the rarest color releases - second only to the elusive pink version - and stands as a striking representation of Mego's daring design palette and Takara's precision engineering. With its samurai-inspired armor and chrome detailing, Acroyear embodied the fusion of space-age fantasy and Japanese toy artistry that defined the Micronauts legacy. Graded AFA Y-NM 80, with subgrades of C80 B85 F80, this example carries the third highest grade known, with only three graded higher across the AFA population report. A vintage treasure from one of the most artistically ambitious toy lines of the 1970s, the Gold Acroyear bridges East and West collecting traditions with unmistakable style. For those who appreciate rarity, innovation, and the dawn of modular action figure design, this radiant warrior remains a gleaming icon of the Micronauts era.
