Hello, probably you all ready know about it, There is one solution to the problem that All the joints feel like they’ll pop off with the slightest bit of friction, obviously i nos the better one, but at least for me it works fine. yes, i am 3.75 inch obsessed, Microbry is right on about everything Microman/Micronauts and you should bow to him, and and Google Translate are great starting points into finding out more for yourself and make up your own mind. These are cheap and plentiful but when Microman comes back into fashion, which it will, these will get incredibly expensive and impossible to find like the rest of the licensed characters. Like Batman, want stuff in the 3.75 inch scale, cheap parts for custom figures, something to pose and leave on the shelf, score these.
Like the gear to stay on all the time, no matter what, or want to play with these as hard as a 7yr old, then pass. The Batman line is no less fiddley than many other figures given positive reviews, so your mileage may vary. It's funny, reviewers on this site seem to really give big passes to some toys from characters/shows they love (Macross/90s/etc) but are really, really hard on stuff like this (early 00s, older characters, non-jp characters, stuff distrobuted in the US as well as JP). These figures are really not that bad (see Microbry's comments above) but the QC is very, very spotty. Takara even realized this later on and stopped making everything except the "material force" blank bodies. The plastic is almost like model kit plastic, and these were actually the last of the "figures" for this era of Microman, the rest of them were much more focused on being more "customizable building toy/model kit" like Gyloss with lots of combos but without the soul(!), or homages to movies/tv, either licenced like VOTOMS (AMAZING figures BTW) and ALIENS (trash figures BTW) or Takara's own homages (like the 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY space pod accessories, the Microlady w/ Henshin Jaguar, or the Magneforce 90's tribute heads) - again QC is not good on this line but don't let it sour you to these, they can be fun and sturdy if you treat it "model kit" style versus "big sweaty ham hands" style. This era of Microman is much closer to a Gundam kit than a GI Joe or Star Wars figure.
Mazinkaizer: check out for a great crash course on the myriad incarnations of the original Microman line, which is also the original source of the toys that became licensed by Hasbro as the Transformers. The 2003-2007 4 inch figures were done by Takara's former hobby division and were geared toward adult collectors and thus not really designed for "play" unlike all previous Microman was an interesting experiment while it lasted, but overall I prefer the reliability of the toys made by Takara's main division, both in the 70's and the 1999-2000 "MagnePowers" release. Similarly, the Cyborg Superman Microman reviewed here earlier is a pretty decent figure from my experience. I'm not as into the licensed characters so I never picked up this pair, though I do have the Microman Flight Suit Batman (which is deliberately made more in the vintage Microman style) and it did not have any of these issues that I can recall (but believe me, I know these issues all to well in some of the other releases such as the "Road Spartan" figures, which refuse to stay together). Some of it is excellent and does not have these kinds of issues, but other parts are way too loose and fiddly.
#Microman microlady series#
Microman is a great toyline with a LOT of history behind it, but the 2003-2007 series was a bit unpredictable in terms of QC.
