Ryugunoh looks awesome! and I was right about UNI spinoff being Takara's answer to Pinky St.
What's all these zip files in that first link?

In the Takara link, I was looking at the pics of Asuka...is her hair articulated?

Aoi
Cyclone_X
yes, her hair is articulated

the zip files contain pictures from several toyshows in Japan, the one with Asuka is from the Winter Wonder Festival, for the new one you have to click WCC22.zip (if it doesnt show on the first page, then go to the next page, not so difficult to find)
Cyclone_X
check www.fantofan.jp preorder pages for pics for all 4 Superman figures
Blitz
if thier anything like the batman micromen they will be easy find (fingers crossed)
Taaron
Just saw the new Superman figures. Not feeling the skinny one. The eyes on both him and Supergirl look too weird to me. 

The bulkier chest Superman looks cool...and I'm really digging the Cyborg Superman. Wonder if Takara'd give him any backstory?

I really don't like that movie superman. puketf.gif
Blitz
i like the look of supergirl and it looks like the blue is metalic

but i agree on superman is a little odd i think he needs a better jaw line

not much new to see, only a handfull of new Superman and -girl pictures, and new announcements with a series I'm not really familiarwith (I've seen other figures of those, but dont think I'll like them)
Blitz
super girl will be mine... robo super man is unique i think i will have to see it in person first. superman is ok but again i think i will have to see them in person first.

the penceled figure is from ultimate mussle i only watched one or two episodes not my thing realy.

That robotic superman looks like it could be the villian Cyborg-Superman, The Man of Tomarrow

I like their vehicle/weapons and Acro Spira's armored mode is neat.

Aoi
Blitz

*Thread Resurrection*

OK, I know the last couple of months there hasn't really been anything on Microman. But, I found this on HLJ, and I am more than curious. Does anyone have any information on this?

those are parts you can put on the Votoms

but does anyone know who these are?:
http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT77728
http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT77729

could it be the sentai girls listed here: http://www.takarahobby.com/kaihatsu/0705microman/002.html ?
Blitz
4 girls names 4 of the 5 are girls so it fits

ps are they based on whats going to replace madan zenki ryukendo? since the face masks are a similar concept and tomytakara made micromen for that show aswell
Taaron
They could be. I still haven't finished off Ryukendo yet...but the costumes are pretty similar looking...if a bit more oldschool looking.

Aoi

HLJ listed 3 new Evangelion entries:
Rei schooluniform http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT76813
Asuka schooluniform http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT76814
Rei & Asuka plugsuit set http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT77733

I presume that the 2 first are new molds and the set might be a recolor of last year's plugsuit versions


there are also 3 new Kinnukuman entries:
Great Kinnukuman http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT77206
Pentagon http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT77207
Menggu Man http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT77208

too bad that microfoverer.com isnt updating with Quanto scans anymore icon_sad.gif I'ld love to see new pictures
Blitz
hmmm i dunno i realy like thier original style micromen to the stuff based off other things but saying that they look ok but im going to skip

note: they translated Wecker Signa to 'Vector Sigma' which isnt the correct name


I hope the hiatus on Microman is over, like with Transformers, so that after this series we can get more Material Force (I need flesh colored V2 female bodies for customs) and off course more Micro- and Acro series smiletf.gif
Blitz
i have to say the micromen for the new show do look rather snazzy i just hope the shows as cool
Cyclone_X
Toysdaily posted this new Kinukuman series figure:

Not a really exciting news but at least Takara-Tomy is determine to keep Microman line going for at least until the end of this year. I am not sure I am entirely please with the direction that Tomy is taking Microman line. Yukiko told me that there were several rumors about the tension between the two toy designing cultures (Tomy and Takara) and that lead to many of the problem with the projects. Tomy was hoping Takara would open up Transformers brand to Tomy division and Takara was hoping for Star Wars licensed so they can do Microman Version of Star Wars characters but they were un-able to resolve the turf wars and the end result is pretty much a very boring year for Microman line.


Tomyformers and Chewy Microman in the future?
Overbite
Kinda disappointing news. I'm not really into the Kinnikuman series but the blue guy from Wrecker Signa Project is kinda interesting. Not to interested in the girls in that series though. I was really hoping they would release new Microforce figures. Oh well at least I can catch up on the ones that I am missing in my collection.
Blitz
you know if the 2 sides got together im thinking some real magic could happen
Cyclone_X
Blitz
interesting but the black guy looks a bit bland
Cyclone_X
http://www.takarahobby.com/kaihatsu/0707microman/index.html

Rei will have a bandage version, nice smiletf.gif
and waaaay more afordable than the Medicom toys tounge1.gif
Blitz
yeah i want to watch that new live action show
Cyclone_X
fresh from the Tokyo Toy Show:







if I'm not wrong, that previously unseen character (in red) will be a DVD exclusive (thus very expensive)

and strange that they are using the old made body again, and not the V2

and still no Material Force figures icon_sad.gif
Blitz
the red guy is a remold of the old bio machine toy (mine all had bad qualty issues icon_sad.gif ) infact i think they have anly changed the chest and head


the black ranger = teh win but i know i will end up getting all 4 girls
Overbite
wow they are sure using alot of over again. They have Microman Xeku's Machinemirror in that red dvd exclusive, the black guy with the cape looks like a black materialforce figure with Acro Hidou's armor and accessories with a new cape and head sculpt. Maybe it hasn't been painted yet. All in all, I was hoping Takaratomy would be producing new Microforce figs for 2007.
Blitz
well i think it was posted that the 2 sides of takara and tomy are having teething problems when it comes to thier design teams getting along
Cyclone_X
http://www.microforever.com/preview2000.htm

new pictures!

The Wecker girls come with a second head (not their real life head though)

And Bandage Rei is an exclusive, hopefully not too had to come by...


also interesting is the Wingman (veeeery long time since I watched that) and Lupin sollicitions smiletf.gif
Blitz
they do look cool
Cyclone_X
http://www.microforever.com/images/Microma...uanto0707-3.jpg

They uploaded a picture of the upcoming solicitations

first 2 are from Lupin, next 2 Wecker (seen those before)
row underneath: 2 girls from Wecker (repaints?) and the other are all from the 80ties series Wingman

so the rest of the year seems to be packed with releases, albeit there are no regular Microman or Acroyear series icon_sad.gif
Blitz
the ones in pic 12 are 2 of the 4 girls i think its the orange and sky blue
Cyclone_X
yes they are, but the first sets will be released in September, and these are set for December ('12') so I supose those are repaints, since the price is too low to be the DVD versions
Cyclone_X
Lupin Microman:


Blitz
ive only seen a few lupin things and it didnt do much for me but those toys look cool
Cyclone_X
http://www.toyskingdom.com.hk/forum/viewth...;extra=page%3D1

new Microman girls to see:

2 Wecker girls from the DVD pack and 2 other in regular clothing, these last 2 look pretty for toys bases on real humans
Cyclone_X
am I the only Microman fan left on earth?? lol

anyway, new updates here: http://www.microforever.com/preview2000.htm and here: www.takarahobby.com

bad news: one of the Wecker girls is a mail-away... but good to see TakaraTomy paid attention to each girl's approximative height

thanks to the chromed Lupin figures, the Micromanspirit is kept alive (also with the 2nd head of the Wecker costumed figures), somehow, I wonder if we'll get to see some real Microman and Acroyear figures someday
Blitz
no your not but since they merged theirs been little past tie-in figures so its not like theirs anything new

its cool how theirs also doing human figures for the sigma show girls (all jail bait it seems) ive still haven't seen any of it
Cyclone_X
I don't think they are jail bait, they al look around their 18-20, but may be playing 15-16 year olds (like Claire in Heroes)

still, everything about 16 isnt jail bait anymore tounge1.gif (at least not in my country)

plus the series doesnt seem to be sexually tinted, just a female sentai/tokusatsu thingy

anyway, back on topic: I got the Wonderfest Exclusive Rei last week biggrintf.gif, nice figure, with a bed as a box, but no accesoiries at all (no extra hands, no stand, no nothing)
