Membros was designed by California R&D for Mego under the name Slugman. He was designed to looks like a yellow and green humanoid sea slug in armor. This version of Membros had hands that held a gun instead of cuffs with 5mm pegs.
Membros was released as part of the 4th wave of Mego Micronauts in 1979. Versions of this toy were also released by Gig and Lion Rock.
Membros was released as by Palisades in 2003 for four retail color variants, plus the exclusive Bio-Scan version.
Bio-Scan Membros was brainchild of Kristof Erkiletian and the initial cost was funded by him personally while Ray Miller and his wife did all the shipping and handling.
