ManTou01 6-Piece Pull Back Cars Toys Kits for Kids, ABS Die Cast Toy Set Vehicles Micro Machines Model Toy Cars Set for Toddlers Boys Girls Kids Age 2 3 4 5 6 up. You may remember Micro Machines in the five-pack package above, as a popular toy line from Lewis Galoob that later gained notoriety for making an absurd number of 'Star Wars' and 'Star Trek' ships.
They'll soon join Hot Wheels and Lego bricks in being extremely painful to step on.
Make room, Hot Wheels fans—Micro Machines are on their way back to the market next year, giving adult gearheads everywhere another toy to obsess over.
Anyone that grew up in the 1980s and '90s will remember the tiny toys, which were massively successful over their relatively short run on the market. Everything from motorcycles and sports cars to construction equipment and aircraft got the Micro Machines treatment, and the playsets were often elaborate featuring detailed pieces with “obstacles” and hiding spots for the shrunken vehicles.
Of course, the only way this comeback can be truly legitimate is if the “Micro Machines Man” makes an appearance as well. Now 65 years old, John Moschitta Jr. was at one time credited as the World’s Fastest Talker by The Guinness Book of World Records, with the ability to fully articulate 586 words per minute. His work on the Micro Machines commercials is what most of us remember best about the toys, as his super-fast talking made them so much cooler. His tagline, “Remember, if it doesn’t say Micro Machines, it’s not the real thing,” was as much a part of the brand as the mini vehicles themselves.
We don't have any details on whether or not he'll be a part of the new release, but we'll keep our fingers crossed.

The original Micro Machines were made by Galoob, a company that was later purchased by Hasbro. To produce the new line of Micro Machines, the company has licensed the toy brand to Wicked Cool Toys, which also makes Pokémon and Cabbage Patch Kids. We don’t know exactly when the new Micro Machines will hit the market, other than that it’ll happen sometime in the fall of 2020.
Until then, I’m going to break out the aircraft carrier and load it up with what remains of my Micro Machine collection from 30 years ago.
Micro Machines first appeared on toy shelves over 30 years ago. They were smaller than other diecast toy cars from Hot Wheels and Matchbox, and they were often included in large playsets that could fold into another, much larger vehicle for storage and transport. The white, original Micro Machines Super Van City, with its retro 80s-inspired yellow-to-brown graphics – I have one stuffed in storage somewhere – was a popular must-have. Now, the tiny toy line is back, and the first new Micro Machines toys are on display at the 2020 New York Toy Fair.
One of the first Micro Machines to return is the Super Van City, this time in a rough-and-tough overland guise with a red exterior and plenty of black-painted accessories. Inside, the van received a redesign. There’s a dirt track, convenience shop, a bridge, airport, drag strip, and more. It doesn’t have the same layout as the original but still appears to pack plenty of fun. According to Gizmodo, the playset will go on sale this fall for $50 with three exclusive Micro Machines vehicles.
Have Fun, Life Is Short:
The brief video above shows much of the new Micro Machines lineup. The Super Van City won’t be the only playset available, though it’s not clear when the other playsets will arrive. There are also dozens of Micro Machines vehicles ranging from sports cars to ambulances to bulldozers and race cars. There looks to be plenty available when the updated toy line arrives later this year.
The new Micro Machines come from Wicked Cool Toys, which was recently purchased by Jazwares. Hasbro announced last spring it’d reached an agreement with WCT for it to become the global toy licensee. Galoob originally made Micro Machines when they arrived in the late 1980s, but that company is now part of Hasbro. The new Micro Machines go on sale this fall, including the new Super City Van and other toys.
