Micronauts mashups: Godzilla, Batman, Superman, Battle of the Planets

[samurainoir]

I really do think it's cool that there are Microman figures that dress up as Godzilla and Gamera or other Kaiju monters.

What other Microman figures are there of other licensed characters?

[cjefferys]

I had a couple of the Godzilla and Gamera ones. Kind of regret selling them now, but then again they aren't too hard to find again if I get the inclination. The only other licensed ones I can think of off the top of my head are the Alien and Predator ones, they were pretty cool too.

[rche]

don't regret selling them Chris; I know at least Gamera went to a loving home.

I really love the mini Takaras. I wish they would do Ultraman.

Hmmmm....

The new Micromans are all sorts of awesome! I got a bunch to use as art dummies. So many of 'em are readily available it's tough to resist the urge to build an army.

I have the later Godzilla suit and my wife has the Gatchaman Ken - very much on the fence about collecting those other bad boys.

[samurainoir]

Cool! I did not realize that Alien vs Predator were done in this format, I guess Diamond did not import these guys like they did Batman or Gatchaman.

This one is cool, given how Transformers evolved out of Microman to some extent.

The Alien/Predator Microman sets were plagued by quality control issues. I had imported a couple cases when they were new and just about all of the Predators had broken joints and the Queen Aliens fell apart in your hand.

A little super glue and alot of swearing got them back together and looking fine.

Ah, Microman Ken/Mark...every time I see him, I want a Microman Joe/Jason.

Yeah, I think most of us Gatchaman fans lament the fact that there is so much Ken stuff at the expense of the other characters. I think it's ryu/tiny that usually gets lefts out the most.

At least Joe got a Medicom figure and was represented with the Flyze propellor figure in recent years.

Keyop and Tiny got shut out of the 12" scale figures.

Jason and tiny are getting scarcer to find as 6" figures.

[Type Two]

Yeah, you are right, we fans of "Condor Joe" should be glad that we have a lot of merch to hunt for. There are a lot of holy grails out there. I'm still searching for even a PICTURE of the French "Bataille..." 6 inch figure of Joe! If you know of one, please tell me!

[SeattleEd]

I love this line.
Got Gamera and Jet Jaguar when they came out. I too wished they made an Ultraman version but Jet Jaguar is the closest I'm going to get an ultraman. Even a Giant Robot would be awesome.

when i first saw this figure released, i was hoping they would come out with the rest of the team! the only thing that bugs me is the cape. i wish they had made it cloth.

I have Batman, Batgirl, and Catwoman. Unfortunately Catwoman has a defective arm and doesn't stay on. I ended up gluing it.
