The 3.75-inch toys made it to the U.S. in 1976 but the line was discontinued in 1980. In 2002, Palisades Toys bought the rights to make Micronauts.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Abrams told the Wall Street Journal not to doubt that a board game or a science-fiction can receive star status. &#8220;Sometimes, when someone is not a celebrity and you are casting them in a role, everyone who is in a seat of authority voices questions about that actor&#8217;s talent, sex appeal, looks, ability, their everything,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But then they get the role, and suddenly they are on the cover of every magazine, and nobody questions those things again.
