#CHIISANA KYOJIN MICROMAN WIKI LICENSE#
(Microman 21 series was produced under license by Romando). In 1999, Takara, for the first time since 1984, produced new Microman toys. All of the Microman toys used 5 mm connectors and ports, which allowed parts from one toy to be attached to another toy to form new toys. The cyborg beings were said to hail from the fictional planet Micro Earth, and to disguise themselves as toys. Unlike other toylines at the time, Microman figures were marketed as being the "actual" size of the cyborg beings they were meant to be replicas of. Microman Zone proved to be popular and by its second year, the Microman line was spun off from the "Henshin Cyborg" line. The first series, Microman Zone, included four figures and several vehicles in kit form that needed to be assembled. Since both the cost of producing and the large size of the vehicles and playsets for the 12" dolls were prohibitive, in 1974 Takara decided to produce a miniature version of the Henshin Cyborg line which was called Microman. The body of the Henshin Cyborg was molded in clear plastic to expose the gleaming inner cybernetic implants and the "atomic engine".
Joe figures that Takara licensed from Hasbro.
The Combat Joe line was created from the mould of the 8" and 12" G.I. The Henshin Cyborg line was a spin-off of the earlier Combat Joe line. In 1972, Takara released a series of 8" and 12" action figures called Henshin Cyborg ("Transforming Cyborg").
