Microman was always known for poseable figures, but when Takara introduced so-called Full Action Body system a few years ago, Microman became one of the most poseable toy series up to date and even now it's no less impressive than the Revoltech line. Time for another important matter in this toy aside form it's looks. Also, the red chest plate is shaped after the emblem of this very character (the emblem is visible in the right upper corner of the box). Not bad for a 3 1/2 inch figure if you ask me. Not very detailed, but still you can see hair or eyebrows. The chrome head mentioned before is nicely shaped. the only problem with it is that the red tends to wear off at those pegs on shoulders.not a big deal for me, as it's not that visible, though. The finishing touches consist of many small, orange paint apps all over the figure, as well as silver,chromed head (this is something like a recognition sign for the whole Microman series). We can also see many red metallic parts of the armor, accompanied by a single white metallic chest part (white is also the color of the hands). Xeku is made mostly from semi-transparent dark blue plastic. Its purpose isn't obvious when you first look at it, but it's just a fine piece of a battle suit (Power Ranger costumes go home!).Ībout the colors again. Very human-like proportions, nice pallete of colors, as well as simple but eye-catching design of the suit. And I admit it, even while not being a big fan of human action figures, the look of this one simply impressed me. So in general a viewer has a feeling of order when looking at this box.Īfter dealing with the holding measures (which are effective but also easy to remove), we get to see Xeku, Microman included in this particular set. All the paper sheets included to the toy are hidden inside the card (it's double-layered). Brilliant! Also, unlike most US toys where figure and all it's belongings are place on a single tray filling the whole blister, here, the accessories and the main figure are stored on separate trays (and in the way that all smaller extra parts are hidden behind the figure). This way you can have the box in exactly the same state as it was before opening. So, to open the toy, you simply cut the tape and slide out the card. Instead, it's side and bottom edges partly cover the back of the card and are stuck together with transparent gluetape. Here, the blister isn't glued to the front of the card. That's why I was so pleased to notice that with Microman it's completely different.

Even if you decide to cut the blister with something sharp, it still doesn't look too nice. But it's not that easy when you must literally tear the box apart to reach the toy inside. Usually companies like Hasbro (or even Takara with their other releases) simply glue the blister to the card, which is quite irritating for collectors who wish to preserve the box in the best possible shape. Apart from specific graphical design (I'll leave judging whether it's nice to you), from the technical side, it's far better than, for example, TF Deluxe boxes. Though it may look like your standard blister-on-card package for smaller toys, this one has few very nice features. don't expect to find any plot-related stuff here, I'm as new to this as you guys ^^ All I know that Microman are some kind of miniature cyborgs fighting with their evil counterparts.įor starters, let's check out the box. Were they worth it? Read on and try to guess :P The results were promising enough for me to buy both Microman sets. Then, out of simple curiosity, I began to consider purchasing them and made some small research on those toys. I wasn't quite interested but after 3 months of failing to sell those sets, the seller lowered the price to about $5 per piece. That is, until one day someone sold two Microman Biomachine toys on our local auction site. My adventure with this toy began quite accidentally- I'm a Transformer collector and although I do like Japan toys (on my PC's screen), I had never had personal contact with any of them, especially Microman toys. So don't kill me if it won't sound like a native's article :) Ok, time for the fun part! And finally, I may be pretty advanced in English, but it's still my second language (I come from Poland). This is my first review, so please be understanding if I make some style mistakes ^^ Also, I will use the writing scheme that is common on my very own Transformers site. Before I start my review, I must tell some tech stuff. Hello there, I'm Wallas, a new writer here on CDX.
