+==Micronauts==
+Space Glider was a character in the ''Micronauts'' series. The depiction of Space Glider has varied vastly from one fictional setting to another.
+===Development===
+Space Glider was released by Mego in several colors in 1976. He was also released by Gig and Pin Pin Toys.
+According to Bryan Wilkinson on Facebook, one concept considered by Palisades Toys for Space Gliders was including stickers which would denote if he was the captain of a [[Battle Cruiser (Micronauts)|Battle Cruiser]] or [[Mobile Exploration Lab]].
+In 2002 Palisades toy released Space Glider in new colors.
+Concept art for a new version of Space Glider was done by Dave Waugh as part of Palisades wave 3, although the figure was never produced.<REF>https://rockettubes.livejournal.com/118924.html</REF>
+In late 2004 ''Micronauts'' was licensed to SOTA Toys to make ''Micronauts''. They planned to produce a line of stylized 6 inch figures under the name ''Micronauts Evolution'', including a Space Glider. A hand painted prototype of Space Glider was displayed at Toy Fair New York City 2005, but because of legal issues with Takara the toys were delayed and never released.<REF>http://www.innerspaceonline.com/jm.htm</REF>
+In 2007 Hasbro released the Hasbro Revolution box set. This set included a tiny female Space Glider figure.
+In 2018 several parts for Space Glider were released on [[Shapeways]] by [[Mathew Robert Ignash]].
+===Reception===
+[[image:tafd132.png|left|thumb|120px|Tomart's Action Figure Digest cover]]
+The unreleased SOTA Toys Baron Karza and Space Glider figures appeared on the cover of the April 2005 issue of Tomart's Action Figure Digest.
