Ga'Mede

This guy was only available with Magnificus. Note the painted head which is very unusual for Microman figures.

AX-14 AcroBiom

Words really can't describe how cool this toy looks but as with many of its brethren it is somewhat weak and the joints struggle to support the weight of its gear.

AX-11 AcroScorl

Another cool Acroyear. He has the interchangeable hand and weapon gimmick like the larger Henshin Cyborg toys.

MK-08 Mr. Kamen

This guy seems to be able to suck you life force or perhaps soul through a straw. An alternate head with plastic straw is provided for this purpose.

MK-01 Kinikuman

Kinikuman also known as Kid Muscle in the english dub of the Anime. I really like the design of the Microman wrestler body. It gives the figure a bit more substance and heft and also adds some extra articulation.

MK-09 Blackhole

Blackhole from the Kinikuman series. He can suck people through the hole in his head and includes an extra head for just this purpose.

MA-11 Chun-Li vs G. I. Joe Chun-Li

I recently received a Microman Chun-Li. She is from the 2004 series under the Micro Action label which is Microman's licensed figure line. Since Microman is nearly in scale with G.I.Joe and that line had a brief run of Street fighter figures I thought a comparison was in order. The difference is night and day. The G. I. Joe figure is saddled with an unfortunate kicking action feature which really screws up both leg articulation and the shape of the hips. The face sculpt is pretty nice given that it is meant to be a realistic interpretation of the character (as opposed to anime looking). The Microman figure on the other hand looks pretty cartoony but still very nice.

Edit: here is a picture:

RS-04 Ray with Side Caliber

Hello again,
I haven't had a chance to talk about the current Microman line yet. So I thought I would introduce it with a quick discussion about Ray and her Side Caliber motorcycle.



One of the key things to notice about modern Microman toys is they are much taller than their classic brethren. They also have ditched the 5mm peg size for the most part and use 3mm pegs again. Modern Microman toy typically come with a clear stand which has pegs for both 5mm and 3mm feet. Finally modern Microman figures have a very large amount of articulation, typically 30+ points.

Ray and her Side Caliber were part of a sub-line of the 2005 assortment called Road Spartan. There were four bikes and their riders. The bikes could all be combined to make a single large road vehicle.

Ray is a really nice figure. She has a good sculpt and an interesting paint scheme. Since she rides a motorbike it is appropriate that she has a visor that can lower and cover her face.

The bike itself is solidly constructed and can happily roll along the floor. The sidecar can also seat a second Microman figure, classic or modern. The sidecar detaches and can become a fairly unconvincing set of battle armour. The bike can split in half, which is part of how it combines with the 3 other motorcycles in the Road Spartan subline.

All in all a fun toy and highly recommended. I got mine off eBay and I am sure it would not be challenging to find one there for your own collection, dear reader.
