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". While the Micro Machines collection is known primarily for sizing down automobiles, it has also featured several playsets including 1991's fold-out Super Van City. Licensed character products would often be fold-open heads including miniature characters and vehicles interactive with their playset environment. Micro Machines also utilized several diverse features such as color-changing cars and "Private Eyes" vehicles that even allowed one to peek inside and view an illustration of the contents. There were loads of individual city sets hat could be combined to make bigger and more varied environments, but having a single set that tried to do it all was amazing. And that’s where Super Van City came in. Clemens V. Hedeen, Jr. (Fun City USA / Hedeen International), Patti Jo Hedeen, Ned Cain (Fun Maker/Hedeen and Companies)

Micro Machines are a line of toys originally made by Galoob (now part of Hasbro) in the mid-1980s and throughout the 1990s. Micro Machines are tiny scale component style "playsets" and vehicles that are slightly larger than N scale. 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!". There were some incredibly surprising licensed Micro Machines sets released over the years – with sets based on (sometimes very adult) franchises such as Indiana Jones, James Bond, Star Trek, Aliens, Predator and Terminator 2. Some weird, slightly more obscure choices made the jump to Micro Machines too, such as Babylon 5, Jonny Quest and Biker Mice from Mars.One of the many Micro Machines product lines was the Insiders series. Incredibly popular in the late ’80s and early ’90s, the Insiders series featured a small vehicle inside the standard size Micro Machine. The body and chassis of the larger vehicle connected via a hinge. Opening the larger revealed the smaller, which was a different model of car.
