  Microman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Microman is a line of toys manufactured by Takara (now Takara-Tomy) from the 1970s to the present.
Microman toys were originally imported to the United States by Mego as Micronauts until they went bankrupt in 1982.
MICROMAN ZONE proved to be popular and by its second year, the MICROMAN line began to take on its own identity and separated itself from the influence of the HENSHIN CYBORG line.

Lately, I've found myself mildly fascinated by "The Adventures of MicroMan," a shareware game from the Windows 3.1 era written by Brian Goble.
There is a (very) basic page on his website on the topic of the game, but otherwise I've found a dearth of information about MicroMan online.
MicroMan now finds himself in a strange and hostile world where he is one of the smallest inhabitants.

 Product Reviews
Microman gained a good amount of popularity in the United States in the late 70's and early 80's under the name Micronauts, brought over in a deal between Takara and Mego, then one of the top toymakers.
These days, Microman has certainly reasserted its popularity, with a wide variety of figures under the Microman banner, as well as a wide range of licensed figures using the Microman body form.
The Microman figure, and this was one of the selling points for me, since it looks extremely impressive, is gold chrome almost head to toe, with non-chrome gold hands, elbows, knees, and ankles.

 AKIA Forums -> Godzilla Microman: Jet Jaguar and Megalon
My previous review covered the Microman Godzilla FW, and my major complaint with that piece was that it was virtually impossible to put the Microman figure in the suit.
However, the Microman head is a bit off, mainly because the mandibles are too pronounced.
Microman collectors didn't like this line because the Microman figures had to be extremely basic and generic in order to fit into the Kaiju suits.

The tiny Microman bodies have just as much articulation as a 6" Marvel Legend, which just puts Hasbro's super poseable Clone Trooper to shame: they move at the head, neck, shoulders, biceps, elbows, wrists, hands, waist, hips, thighs, knees and ankles.

 Andrew Franks : Don't Toy With Me: Microman Magneforce   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Microman is one of the cornerstones of Japanese action toys, and was mildly reconfigured into Micronauts and (some of) The Transformers in the US.
Though Microman largely died out in the 80's, it came back for an exciting new line in 2000, and in 2003 returned with an even more innovative 4" product line with even more articulation.

There aren't any Microman figures that I have seen that would make use of these connection points, but they're here just the same for aspiring customizers or for future expansion.
The figures have no problems standing on their own if you take a moment to pose them right, but with the stand you can get some fairly extreme poses out of the figure limited only to your imagination and the strength of his ankle joints.
The sculpting of the text and the Microman are on the bottom of the stand, the top is flat except for the two pegs.)

The Japanese toy company Takara made a toy series in 1974 called Microman that was a miniature spin off of their Henshin-Cyborg1 figure.
The Microman toys were made in a smaller 3.75 inch figure that had a similar level of articulation to the 12 inch GIJoe.
The other US toy line adapted from Microman started when some smaller transforming vehicles were imported to the US by Hasbro and combined with another, similar Japanese toy line known as Diaclone to become know as Transformers.
