Forget about the bogeyman in the cupboard or the monster under the bed, check out these creepy micro-monsters.

A diver braved sub-zero conditions to capture images of 'underwater aliens' living 500 feet below the White Sea, which is one of the most remote and untouched places on Earth.

I hope I'm allowed to post non-figure based customs here. If not, sorry for the spam and I'll move this to the Microverse. I had this old Starfighter lying around. It was yellowed and incomplete, so I decided to do some "show accurate" style stickers, done in a sort of vintage style. I looked at the Monogram
It would be a tough call to select my favorite Mego Micronauts toy from the 1970s, but leading the pack would be 1979’s Hornetroid, “the fearsome Myriapod from the far-off galaxy of Thoraxia.” The baddest MF in the Microverse, the Hornetroid is an interchangeable aerial attack ship that resembles a giant, malevolent insect. The Hornetroid features a front cockpit which opens to house Micronaut action figures, gripping mandibles, four translucent purple wings, a cockpit canopy that resembles compound eyes, laser cannons and more. The Hornetroid’s wings, for instance, could flap up-and-down by pressing a tab on the ship’s dorsal spine. Released at the same time as the “Terraphant” (a terrestrial vehicle resembling a monster elephant…) and personalities such as Membros (with the glow-in-the-dark brain), Hornetroid also shared an awesome quality with toys such as Milton Bradley’s Star Bird and Mattel’s Space: 1999 Eagle One. In particular, the Hornetroid could come apart, and re-form into a scout mode by joining the aft and fore compartments and discarding the middle module. Mego’s Hornetroid was perhaps my most desired toy of 1979 because it looked so damn scary and cool. I still own the one my Granny bought for me that year, but it is in really, really bad shape after three-and-a-half decades. The back dorsal wing/spine is snapped off, along with one of the front compartment’s antennae. I’ve also managed to lose the weird transparent purple “bomb” to the ship. I had it just a few years ago, but now it is gone. My son Joel loves the Hornetroid, but my toy is so played out that it just falls apart if you try to pick it up, alas. One of these days, I’m going to have to pick up another on E-Bay for him… The Hornetroid, though not the right scale, also appeared in the popular Micronauts comic-book series from Marvel.
