Clemens V. Hedeen, Jr. (Fun City USA / Hedeen International), Patti Jo Hedeen, Ned Cain (Fun Maker/Hedeen and Companies) Micro Machines had a well-known advertising campaign in the 1980s involving fast-talker John Moschitta Jr. The commercials featured pitches in his trademark speedy style and ended with the slogan "If it doesn't say Micro Machines, it's not the real thing!". For 3 to 4 years, Micro Machines was the largest selling toy car line in the US with total dollar sales exceeding the combined sales of the next top-selling lines: Hot Wheels, Matchbox and Majorette. Each of these vehicles had a magnifying window on the roof, which kids could look through and see the ‘secret scene’ inside. Some of the areas are tiny, like inside the car wash, there is not much to be done, only pass through.Micro Machines were featured in the 1990 Christmas movie Home Alone, starring Macaulay Culkin. In the movie, Culkin's character sets dozens of Micro Machines at the bottom of a flight of stairs as a hazard for a pair of bungling burglars. This trap was also featured in the Sega Genesis game, though it's referred to generically as "Toys". Early Micro Machines television commercials were famous for featuring actor John Moschitta Jr., who was (at the time) listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's fastest talker. As a result of his work in the commercials, Moschitta came to be known as the "Micro Machines man". [1]

[3] Sets include Muscle Cars, Farm, Racing, Construction, and Off-Road, and an updated version of the Super Van City is available as well. It was beautifully done and even though – like all of the other licensed sets which featured character figures and selections of vehicles from movies or TV shows they were based on – the scale was incredibly inconsistent, it didn’t matter. Mad Max has a lot to answer for. Imagine trundling around the city in your sweet new ride when the apocalypse hits – and suddenly, you’re surrounded by bloodthirsty gangs looking to steal your fuel and wheels. AWESOME CITY LOCATIONS! Drive your Micro Machines through the off-road racing area, Police Station, Car Wash, Fire Station, Airport, and the drag race area to fly through the launcher! Despite revealing that your vehicles are – unsurprisingly – just empty plastic shells, rather than intricate and functional machinery, for the most part, these Micro Machines really did look and feel awesome. Many came with opening doors too!Yep, you too can give your kid a head start on a lifelong obsession with voyeurism – thanks to Micro Machines Private Eyes! Some of the car styles were not designed with the playset in mind and vice versa. Comes with a bunch of additional small parts that don't have a nice storage system, which defeats the point of a foldable playset.
