POST-MEGO MODULAR LINE
Inter-Changeables
Updated checklist coverage for figures, magnetic figures and steeds, robots, vehicles, playsets, and the closely related Nuovi Micronauti Magno-only Italian releases.
Photo Fact Check Pass
This update fixes the exact wrong-photo problem: C.I.T.S. and C.I.E.L. were using C.E.D.M. images. The main Inter-Changeables page now uses separate sourced images for C.E.D.M., C.I.T.S., C.I.E.L., Silver Cosmo-Man, and Silver Captain Cosmo / Cosmo Steed.
- C.E.D.M., C.I.T.S., and C.I.E.L. now use separate box/front photos, not a shared C.E.D.M. card image.
- Silver Cosmo-Man now uses a loose/source figure image for the preview, with card and micronology images saved for the detail page.
- Silver Captain Cosmo / Cosmo Steed now uses a labeled source-backed panel; the exact combined silver set is still treated cautiously on the detail page.

Factoid (What You May or May Not Know)
- Inter-Changeables kept the Micronauts/Microman 5 mm play idea alive after the prime Mego era by reworking familiar bodies, horses, robots, and playsets under new names.
- Cosmo-Man traces to Time Traveler, Cosmic Warp Chamber traces to Pharoid's chamber, and Captain Cosmo/Count Magno clearly echo the Magno-powered Force Commander and Baron Karza family.
- Series 2 is where the silver/gray identity becomes especially important: some figures look almost unchanged in loose form, so packaging and color details become critical evidence.
- The line overlaps with GiG Nuovi Micronauti, where several Italian Magno-only releases appear nearly identical to Inter-Changeables counterparts.
- C.A.R.P., C.I.R.E.S., C.E.D.M., C.I.T.S., and C.I.E.L. show how the line renamed Microtron, Giant Acroyear, Astro Station, Stratastation, and Mobile Exploration Lab ideas into a discount-era cosmic vocabulary.
- Metallion is one of the deeper collector rabbit holes because it functions as the Inter-Changeables Megas-type steed while borrowing details associated with other odd Magno horse variants.
