The Interchangeables Homepage |

The Interchangeables appeared several years after the Micronauts and Mego had departed. They are almost identical to the Micronauts, except that they have neon color schemes. Also, the Micronauts' hard plastic missiles have been replaced by soft rubber-tipped missiles (which make Captain Cosmo, Count Magno, and their horses look a little comical). Hourtoy Co. produced the Interchangeables, and was reported to be run by Mego CEO Marty Abrams' brother.
