Micronauts

Galactic Warrior was a character in the Micronauts series. The depiction of Galactic Warrior has varied vastly from one fictional setting to another.

Development

According to Bryan Wilkinson on Facebook, when Palisades Toys was first planning on Micronauts toys to release they had hoped to release Galactic Warrior in blue, green, red and gold. This release would possibly be done in plastic. This toy was never released by Palisades Toys.

Derryl DePriest said at SDCC 2016 that the Micronauts Classic Collection toys were created using a combination of the 1970's molds recovered by Takara and various Microman parts.[1]

Concept art for a new version of Galactic Warrior was done by Dave Waugh as part of Palisades wave 3, although the figure was never produced.[2]

In 2018 several parts for Galactic Warrior were released on Shapeways by Mathew Robert Ignash.
