![]() This is a great set, but definitely not for kids. ![]() That said, the impressive sculpts and paint apps, the nifty rubbery feel, and the relative obscurity of the characters evens-out the coolness of the set. I spent a good half-hour trying to get those bastitchs in their suits, and now that they're in, they will never be removed. They are easier, but unfortunately, the effort required to disassemble the figure, get the parts in the pieces of the suit, and reassemble the figure in-suit is entirely unreasonable. Given the fact that both Megalon and Jet Jaguar suits come in pieces, I was hoping that the costumes would be easier to get on and off. At the new price of $16, this set is a friggin' steal! Also, the figures come with stands and extra hands.Īt $20, the price is certainly reasonable for the complexity of the toy. I'm a big fan of figures with removable helmets, but these kaiju suits take the concept to a whole new level. The necks, wrists and ankles move, and you might be able to tweak out some shoulder articulation (and maybe knees for Jet) without some pieces falling off, but that's about it.Īssuming the suits are accessories, they are the most awesome accessories ever. The rubber of the suits is thicker than the Godzilla FW figure, restricting the movement of the figures. But in the suits, they can barely move at all. Jet Jaguar, in particular, has metallic, rubbery sheen that seems to perfectly match his movie incarnation.Īrticulation: Micromen: 5/5, in suits: 1/5Īs Micromen, the figures have the usual amazing articulation. The paint is applied well, and the colors are fantastic. The detail on the suits is amazing, and the proportions are incredibly accurate (Megalon in particular really looks like a guy in a suit, which is good). But I didn't buy the set for the Microman figures, I bought it for the suits, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. The Microman figures are standard Microman fare: relatively boring, simplistic designs. Pics: at (more of my own to come tonight) Packaging: Carded (but the packaging, as is the case with most Japanese toys, is boring and destined for the garbage) Price: $20 (although you can get them for a scant $16 at BigBadToyStore) Does this set experience the same problems? 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. He is pretty obscure, but I think he's one of the coolest Godzilla characters.) He seemed to be Toho's answer to Ultraman, as the character could increase in size to battle monsters. (A side note: Jet was a Godzilla ally in Godzilla vs. Since Jet Jaguar toys are few and far between, I chose that set. I'm poor right now so I was only able to get one set, and had to choose between Godzilla (60's)/Ghidorah and Megalon/Jet Jaguar. For the uninitiated, the Microman Godzilla line features Microman figures that can be placed into rubbery monster suits to mimic the "man-in-suit" kaiju in the movies. ![]() Rokk informed me that BigBadToyStore had the Microman Godzilla 2-packs for only $20, so I immediately picked up a set.
