==In popular culture== Early Micro Machines television commercials were famous for featuring actor [[John Moschitta Jr.]], who was (at the time) listed in the ''[[Guinness World Records|Guinness Book of World Records]]'' as the world's fastest talker. As a result of his work in the commercials, Moschitta came to be known as the "Micro Machines man".<ref name="Bellomo">{{cite book |first=Mark |last=Bellomo |title=Totally Tubular '80s Toys |date=September 2010 |publisher=[[Krause Publications]] |page=171 |isbn=978-1-4402-1647-3 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CF8AjVJXvH0C&q=john+moschitta+jr+micro+machines&pg=PA171 |access-date=August 26, 2013 }}{{Dead link|date=August 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> 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 [[Home Alone (video game)|the Sega Genesis game]], though it's referred to generically as "Toys".
