MAGNEPOWER MICROMAN
Takara's long awaited and highly anticipated follow up to the original Microman toyline. The MagnePower is an entirely new series. Takara also is currently reissuing alot of the old Microman toys. Older US collectors will remember some as the Mego Micronauts.

SUPER MICROMAN
Takara addressed all the drawbacks of the original MagnePower Microman with the followup SuperMicroman. More articulation and weapons were packed into the SuperMicroman.

LIMITED EDITIONS & EXCLUSIVES
One thing to learn early when you begin collecting Japanese toys is to get used to all the repaints and exclusives that will be released for a toyline. Microman certainly is no exception as Takara has pumped out plenty of exclusives for their various incarnations of the Microman toys.

NOTE: As a whole Takara's Microman toys do not receive the respect they should from American toy collectors. It is a shame as the current LED Powers Microman are some of the best toys available on the international toy market. Microman also has a very important place in history as Hasbro used many old Microman toys and Diaclone toys as the bases to creating The Transformers. The Mego Micronauts were also Microman toys. I highly recommend the SuperMicroman and LED Powers Microman toys. Also check out Takara's reissue line if you feel like having some old school flavor. |
