When they came out as part of that line, they were released in only one color scheme each. 04-07 were initially designed as part of the little-known Mysterians toyline but left unproduced, with the tooling used by Takara for Micro Change. ![]() They were released in red, yellow, and blue and had license plate stickers on the back of the head panel. 01-03 were designed by Takara and transform into super deformed toy cars in the style of Takara's own Choro-Q line (imported to English-speaking markets as Penny Racers). This small car assortment actually had two different origins. This was no doubt part of the reason why Takara were willing to cancel the Microman line in favor of Transformers when Hasbro financed an animated series to promote their versions of the toys. Many of the Micro Change figures came in multiple color schemes, many of which were eventually used for the Transformers line.īy the time the Micro Change theme was introduced in 1983, the Microman story was told exclusively through text and manga pages in the toys' pack-in catalogues, with no tie-in fiction. The Microman figures, unlike all subsequent 3.75" action figures (except their Western counterpart the Micronauts, made by Mego using licensed Microman molds) were on a 1:1 scale rather than representing full-sized humans/ aliens/robots, so the transforming robots and vehicles they created had ordinary household objects (such as, um, handguns) as disguise modes. Micro Change was a subline of Takara's successful New Microman line of the early '80s, which consisted of 3.75" action figures that were super-posable and vehicles and robots for use by them. ![]()
