What could possibly be more foreign than Italian Micronauts? Hmm. How about Greek Micronauts! Below is the box art for the newly discovered Orion! While the horse is just a replica of King Atlas' steed, Lantaurion, the name, box design and size, and the accompanying catalog are all uniquely new!
As you might be able to tell, the box is much larger than the steeds usually come in. In fact, it's a whopping 9 and 1/4 inches wide by 10 and a 1/2 inches tall! This is one big box!
Other obvious things to note are that the text is almost entirely in Greek and that the lettering style has completely changed. The text, "OI ASTPOMAXHTES" translates to The Astrowarriors! The text directly below the name Orion translates to "The horse of fire and of King Atlas". A special thanks to Leon Barber for that translation!
Also note that in the upper left picture on the back of the box, Orion has one of his forelegs on backwards! Oops.
These toys were distributed in Greece by El Greco.
