ANy news on the Superman Micromans?

nope, they are only for June, maybe pics this month, but most likely we'll see first pics in April

it makes sense since she's suppose to be an assassin. nobody every suspects the cute girl in the maid outfit.

a cute girl with a clear body and chromed head is not suspicous at all indeed

anyway more news:





from news.ssizz.net

and info:


from http://www.rockettubes.net/

those micro sister toys are rather unique not my sorta thing tho but the one with the robotic hands looks cool

I like 'im...but $40 is certainly an ouchie price. Here's to hopin' they get repainted as a wide-release item.

Aoi

Xiang Ni was a brand new sculpt as well and didnt got recolored

$40? How big are those? I can't see what justifies that price.

smaller than GI Joes, and these are exclusives (come with a book (called 'mook') )

ow, it's $40 each

Who's this Xiang Ni person? Anyhow, is it me that might be thinking this, or might this be Takara's Microman answer to the Pinky St. line of toys?

Aoi

Xiang Ni was the previous mook exclusive (together with a masculin member)

the assassins look gr8 but i want a better look at the bad guys now

Xiang is creamsiclely....and durn that colored in artwork. -_-

She's neat, tho.


And Yume is really interesting. Cocktail glass gun(edit: Whoops. it's a knife. Just saw the laser part and filled in the rest. XP ) , and a vacuum cleaner rifle. James Bond, eat your heart out. The characters listed though, seem a bit nice to be assassins, don't they?

super girl will me mine

The new Supergirl is a horrible horrible character

Wow, you really DO spew your opinions all over the forums. I find it humorous that you never give reasons for your dislikes. 

In her first apearance she was declared more powerful than Superman, within thy pages of her own comic she broke Superboy's jaw, she out-ran the Flash, and wielded a powerring more efficiantly than a Green Lantaurn. she's a total Mary-Sue

Well, perhaps they were trying to boost her importance. I dunno. I don't see those as reasons to say she sucks.

It just reminds me of some fan character a 13 year old would make up or something. I mean did she realy have to beat up both the Teen Titans AND the Outsiders?

Who's the Superman Comic Vers. 2?

Aoi

i like super girl more for her role in JLU then anything else. and even if the character is sucky as you put it the toy is still gr8 and worth getting

*wishes for a power girl figure*

agrees with maximus

also wants.... zartanna(is that right?) and wonder woman

Hey guys. BBTS hase those Micro Sister UNI W/Mook figures up for preorder at $89.99. I dunno if it's both in one shot, or just for one.


Aoi

it's both at $89.99, as they cost $40 per piece in japan

Huh. That doesn't like it'd be too bad of deal. 'Specially if you figure $20 for the figure(s), $20 for the book(s)..well, unless your getting the same book with both figures..then that's a bit iffy.

Aoi

it is the same book, yes, that's called 'marketing', it can be an evil, evil thing

gah those new micro sister toys cant be worth those price tags even if they are limited and come with a book

full pictures for XADO & Assassin series:
http://www.takarahobby.com/new/0604microman/index.html

Awesome find, Cyclone.

The Assasassins..seeing them completely..my views have changed slightly. The guitar guy is still kinda cool, the one with the yoyo doesn't seem to have a 'daytime' activity like the other two do...and the girl..hmmm..the vacuum gun is kinda cool, but the laser knife is weak.

for the Xado..The brown one looks plenty creepy...and without all his armor, he reminds me of the guy from the recent Prince of Persia games. o_O Can't really say much about the green one other than, I still want. He looks awesome with the emerald-ish green, and gold of his armor. The lady one has an umbrella..and I can't think of anything else to comment on her. ^_^;;

Also; since this forum section has become the "Animation Station", shouldn't the Microman topic be moved to "It Came from Japan"? Just curious.

Aoi

the Xado guys look interesting im pritty sure ill be getting all 3 of them while the assasins are a ok but i only want the gutar guy

April Quanto scans at Microforever.com:
http://microforever.com/preview2006Apr.htm

with XADO, the may TRU exclusive 2 pack and closer look at the new female body type

I remembered to read the text this time!  

" Also preview is the new MicroLady Material Force ver2.0.  The idea for this figure is "Anime shape" style.  The new body has 35 movable points and of course 3 different bust sizes." Might this be based off those Exclusive Mook designs?

Aoi

the Mook designs are Microsister bodies, but the new female body is then based on the Microsister body (1 screw and more realistic body shape)
first figures to have this new body are Superwoman and a Votoms release (already shown at Wonder Winter festival, it was that tube with led lights)

i like the dude with the wings

Yeah, the dude with the wings is really neat. I kinda like how one of the 'wings' is actually the guy's weapon. Was he the fan-creation they were talking about in the article?

Aoi

Fantofan added new pre-orders:
http://fantofan.jp/earlybirdsp.htm#mm

2 unknown Acro- and Microladies, 1 Votoms item (seen at Winter Wonder fest), Gamera and the Superman series

http://www.zincpanic.com/view_article.phtml?id=25833

a regular Fyana on it's way?

2006 Armor Trooper Votoms "FIANA" (Prototype One) With Gigirium Capsle
-Capsle emits blue light, shines pale colored in scene of Chirico's first meeting.

Acrolady 2 A & B Set
Yosoo monster form of a fantastic design is possible. Rivals to Microlady 2

Microlady 2 A & B Set
Are these Microlady warriors or healers? They fight against the Acrolady by making good use of weapons of a surgical knife type and the injection syringe type. Costume is to be medical themed but details are still uncertain...

the new microladys and the super girl look nice not realy into the vatoms

I might get the big Votom set, if I have the money...and yay! they're doing a Ryugunoh Micro Action figure.

Aoi
