http://www.microforever.com/preview2000.htm

gatta say these guys look pritty neat IMO i like the crabs combined mode

Hmm, these toys do not look bad at all, but I am hoping for a few more lisenced toys, like the ALien/Predator or the Tekkaman Microman. And what about a Streetfighter Cammy?

if they do any more crossovers i hope they do a mincroman soulcalibor crossover a microman nightmare would own

http://www.microforever.com/preview2000.htm

im thinking of getting 03 and maybe 04 and TBH 01 and 02 and pritty cool aswell

3 has that colol armor right??

I want that one

1 is nice also..., but 3 looks the best.

I like MS-02 and MS-03. MS-01 is kinda nifty for the giant Cellphone shield.

Aoi

I think someone on this forum posted some awesome pics of them about 6-8 months ago. When are they coming out? Any new pics?

Microman Alien vs Pred micro action figures have been out for quite a few months now (June 2005)

I have Alien Warrior and Queen, first one suffers from bad QC, one ankle broke down after barely touching it (no I wasnt rude, my ther Microman figures never broke) and it was missing 1 half of the 'backpipes'
the Queen's head/crown is very loose, as it can be removed to get to the inner mouth, I glued the crown as you can take that inner mouth via the normal mouth

most articulations are OK, but they feel a bit loose compared to other Microman

design otoh is completely finished, think of McFarlane aliens but then with articulations

Alright, I'll look into it. How are the Predators?

Anyone have the Road Spartan ones....I am tempted to buy the Blue Guy (RIDEPYTHON, Microman Ryu)

I dont have any Preds

from Road Spartan I have Microlady Ray, and she's cool, the Spartan figures all have articulated toes! (just like the Microsisters will have)

they had proto pics some time ago but these are fall clearer

they should be out december

Blitz, didnt you pay attention to what I posted? the AVP Microman figures are already out since June 2005

the TRU exclusive set for this month seems to be out as well:

Acromanon is lovely

i was taking about micro sisters

Microsisters are sheduled for November

http://www.takarahobby.com/new/0511microman/index.html#

Microsister tons of clear pictures at Takara Hobby

i was thinking of just getting 3 and maybe 1 but after seeing the wepons you can make out of the other 2 i think i will ger them as well

Woow. Lots of different ways to play with the Microsister's own toys. Really nifty. I love the new shoulder system and bendable toys, too...I think I want to try and find a fleshtone base Microsister for my Microlady kitbash I still need to start on..

Considering Takara gives them a bajillion different sets of hands..I just wish they'd include a painted head in addition the chrome head...there looks to be a bunch of nifty details that get hidden by the reflective-ness of the chrome.

Edit: Has anyone poked around this page? http://www.takarahobby.com/kaihatsu/microman/index.html
There's some shots of Rei and Asuka, and a super-buff Microman.

Aoi

Rei, Asuka and that super beefed exclusive body are out since last month already

Hey guys,
I recieved an email from Small-Joes.com saying:

"In an effort to get more collectors involved in what we think is one of
the hottest new action figure lines out there, we've lowered prices up
to $3 on all Japanese import Microman figures.  So, if you haven't
checked out this product line recently now is a great time!

The newest Microman figures to stock are the Acroyear EXO assortment.
Four new bad guys (one gal).

http://smalljoes.com/microman_takara.shtml "

Only thing is, when I click the link...I can't find any for $3. o_O Am I reading into the newsletter incorrectly?

Aoi

he probably ment they lowered them by $3

Ahh, okay. Gotcha, thanks Blitz.

Oh well, I can still have hopeful thinking. XP

Aoi

still, I dont see any prices that have been lowered since before this message

http://www.microforever.com/preview2000.htm

more pics of the micro sisters well thier on my x-mass list for sure

Niiice. I want the blank Micro sister body for a project I'd been planning, but too lazy to start. (Maybe for once, procrastination pays off. ya-hoo!)

What's the story with the Votom thing? is it the character that's part of the Micro Action Series, or the mecha? Or both?

Also, while I'm asking questions..any clue as to why the Micro sister figures are called Micro Sister?

Edit: Might help if I stop drooling over the toy pics and read the text first, in the future. XP
the Scopedog and the guy apparently come together. I take it'll be a pretty expensive set?

Aoi

The pilot (name's Chirico Cuvie I believe) is already out.  I even got myself one.  The figure rocks!

As for the Scopedog mech itself, I haven't heard of any official release yet.

the blank MicroSister body is just an example of what it can do, so far there are no Material Force MicroSiter bodies for sale at TRU Japan (the only store that sells Material Force, hence why they are generally more epxensive on ebay than figures with accessories)

and most Material Force bodies come in all kinds of colors whereas the pink/flesh ones are harder to find, grrrrr, Takara would make more money if they sold Material Force everywhere

Ahh, damn. Oh well...I'll be covering up the body with cloth, so getting a Material Force body doesn't really matter. It'd just be easier with it a fleshtone figure...but I think I have some fabric that could emulate the fleshtone decently.


Aoi

Wasn't Scopedog supposed to get a THS release? I still can't find any pictures of it.

Hey guys, I need some advice. I'm thinking about getting a friend of mine one of the Godzilla micromen figures as an xmas gift, but dunno which to get. Which would you all recommend?

Also, in the pictures, they always show these "hand bandoliers"...where do you get them from?

Aoi

I dont have any Godzilla figures, as I'm not interested in those

Microsisters are out, here are the packages:

Don't have any either, but depending on her preference, either the final wars version, which came with a blue-bodied figure, or the 2pack w/ King Ghidorah(sp?) would be a good choice.

man the sisters look cool its just a shame the shop i got my other MM toys from has closed

Hey guys, I found a store that carries domestically released Microman figures. They had part of the one that combines into a mech(sorry, can't remember the series name). They also had the Microman ChunLi and Microman Sakura figures. They were all $12.99 or so. Would you all recommend the Microman Street Figher figs at those prices?

Aoi

those are regular prices

but watch out with the rubber parts: they tend to crack over time (4-5 months), even if you do not touch the toys at all

Hm. I'll continue to think on those, but I think I'll get the Microman figure with the Exo-Suit part, since it comes with a DVD.

Aoi

Realy? My Microman Batman's cape seems to be doing just fine
