The "time traveling" Micronaut, Pharoid, was released in 1977, he came packaged with an Egyptian styled sarcofogus.
In 1974 Takara introduced the Microman toy line as a science-fiction spin-off of their Combat Joe/Henshin Cyborg line, creating the first 3 3/4-inch (10 cm) pocket-size action figures. The figures are later (1976) marketed in the US as Micronauts by Mego Corporation, whose Action Jackson line was a competitor to G.I. Joe from 1971-1974. (Some transforming toys in the Microman line are later sold in the US as Transformers.)
