What's wrong with manta force? The toys featured heavily in my TF play as a kid. Those little men were perfect humans in exo-suits. And the guys in the big red ship were excellent Deception collaborators. Much better than action force.

How do you add to the discussion on the 'deletion talk' page?
How can something not be notable enough to not have a couple of paragraphs on wikipedia??

A while back, wikipedia got super snobby and editors started deleting or merging loads of articles for not being 'notable' enough. Because, you know, web space is extremely limited! |

I did not know that.
I find it hard to understand why they want to merge Manta Force with Bluebird Ltd given that the Bluebird article doesn't go into detail on any of its lines.
How do I add my voice of protest to this fiendish thing??

A while back, wikipedia got super snobby and editors started deleting or merging loads of articles for not being 'notable' enough. Because, you know, web space is extremely limited! I think it's more to do with Wikipedia needing cash, and avoiding paying for bandwith/hosting costs of any sort will help. Hence those sponsorship ads they have. Which, given how specious and inaccurate a lot of their content is, I have no intention of ever giving them money. I can get inaccurate information any time i want for free. From Man in Pub or Politicians! Topical satire alert! |

I'm pleased to see the Wikipedia article survived its moment of crisis.

It's okay; I have them. I downloaded the British toy tie-in strips from there a while ago for future reading!

There's a blast from the past. I still have the MANTA ship, some Manta Sharks and about 3000 of the tiny figures which used to get jammed in every corner of MANTA.

There was a chap selling literal buckets of the yellow soldiers on ebay a few years back Im sure it's white and blue ones I mostly had with a few of the glittery silver ones thrown in. There was a brilliant helicopter style vehicle which had 2 very satisfying little rocket launchers where the propellers would be. Can't mind the name of it. |

I already have most. And a complete collection of scans somewhere.
Putting aside whether or not you like MF or not it's some nice art.
