If you’re a fantasy art aficionado and have $350,000 burning a hole in your pocket, head on over to eBay seller Mister Sluggworths and buy up these original Ken Kelly oils. They were commissioned by Mego in 1979 and used as card and box art for the Micronauts series 4 and 5 (1979 – 1980) alien figures and vehicles.
Above you see, from top to bottom, Repto, Membros, the Hornetroid, and the Terraphant. Also for sale are Centaurus, Kronos, and Lobros. That’s 7 out of 8 of the original commissions being sold as a lot. Antron is the only one missing.

Freakin’ EPIC! I had that Hornetroid thing. Man, diggin’ up all this micronauts stuff, dood!
Someday I will dig through my boxes and find my Centaurus, with his glow-in-the-dark brain/mane combo, and epic crossbow. Someday…
Must have.
Let’s all throw some money in the pot and get it done. After my donation, we only need $349,980.
