We get new collectors all the time who get caught up in the rat race of trying to collect what other people want, and forgetting to collect what they actually like in the first place. this unfortunately usually leads to a early burnout followed by attempt to resell what they didn’t like in the first place
The Boeing-Sikorsky RAH-66 “Comanche” that never was (ourside of prototypes) here shown as a Micro Machines Toy, 1995 Terror Troops (Night Camo) edition. A fan favorite of enthusiasts at the time, this casting and livery lives on. ADDED: disk for rotational effect

Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation as #TWA custom that turned out fantastic by Keeping to the detail-level of WWGD… toyified but clearly marked! Affectionately called the “Connie”, this “Iconic” representation is iCONNIEc…

Imagine, if Jazwares actually fully painted and detailed their Micro Machines, how much of an improvement they could be?! In another custom example, here we have a LAX Fire Engine ready for service 🚒 🔥 🧯

What in the Macro Machines is this?!? 🤣
1991 Happy Meal Toy United Airlines Ronald McDonald & 1987(6) inaugural release of the Micro Machines 747-100. Galoob had a line of substantially larger pieces they called “Macro Machines” which are about the same size as this happy meal toy by @McDonalds.
Micro Weaponry • Hasbro-Era Bootlegs
Around 2003/2004, around the world bootleg Micro Machines popped up in stores in blisters like these. At the time, military collectors were desperate for replacements since Hasbro had pretty much dropped the ball not only on Micro Machines as a hole, but military Micro Machines especially in the United States and Europe.
Wild these are definitely “ripped off“ from original pieces, they are not exact replicas… “sloppy” is the consensus. Size-wise these match enough, though, that those that seek variety find these to be just as appealing as original pieces.
“What happened to these?”
What I was personally told, which is consistent with other brands that Hasbro controls, these were pulled from shelves (at least here in the USA) due to litigation. I personally bought probably 30 or 40 sets from local stores before they were restocked, and sadly they weren’t allowed to sell me the resupply they got at the time.
There are other packages and styles known, for the most part these show up in blue with white paint, Green with Beige paint camo, and in a 3pk with two figures as shown.
There was a theory for many years that these were made from original equipment dies/castings but that is incorrect… these were replicated from original pieces, NOT OEM
