Hey CM, ever been to this site....
www.microforever.com
.....it rocks!
No problem, dude! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] Roberto's next on my Micro list, I dig his sea capsule accessory. The blue winged Masterforce guy's pretty cool too, sorta like an updated Space Glider Micronaut figure. Really I want ALL of them but I'm trying to save $$.
And ya I've been to Microforever but not in awhile. Guy who runs it's very cool, I've bought a few of the Takara Microman/Cyborg Henshin block figures from him last year. He's on the yahoo Microman board, which I also haven't been to in ages.
Side note: One guy there sells this really slick Microman/Cyborg Henshin magazine (in print and CD format). I submitted a Membros drawing to him and he was going to include it in the third issue, but I lost touch and never knew how it went.
Here it is now...along with some concept sketches for the giant McFarlanesque Membros custom figure I made. (Complete with a mutilated Microman accessory) Photos of that to come!

Awesome Membros art man, and I can't wait to see your custom figure!!! You should do the rest of the Aliens! they were always my favorite, and I still have most of them.
The one Microman I really want (well, really it is just a head, chest piece and outfit) is Skeleton Man, but have a feeling he is really pricey. If you ever come across one, PLEASE let me know!

wow...i was at forbidden planet with my son this weekend and we picked up 3 of them...6.99 a piece...i passed on them but my son went crazy for em'...we got home, built em' and....whoah.....these things come with like 10 sets of hands, stands and accessories galore....real cool in my opinion...
Bump for CM
TCM- I know of Skeleton Man, but I only wish I could help you. Sometimes his accessories are on Ebay but for wayy too much money, just like most of the Cyborg Henshin stuff. Shame that most of the guys that have the old CH figs and costumes (doubles and triples even) rarely part with them, unless to trade for something from that same era. If money were no issues I'd have tons...even the weird looking Henshin dog!
Only Henshin I have was a common one from some site that was selling them fairly cheap, and it was really only one of the updated ones from the 90's. That and some mini henshin caspule figures (and those block figure I mentioned) are what make up my collection.
The 70's stuff is the best, even the vehicles, the reason they created Microman because Takara especially the UFO. Those are actually part of wanted to start scaling things down to a more reasonable size by creating Microman. Anyhow they were some of the best toys ever but I've been hard pressed to find much of what I want too *single tear* Anyhow I'm rambling...
If you like I can poke around that Yahoo group and ask people, if you're pretty intent on finding Skel's gear.
Oh, I am not talking about the Henshion Cyborg Skeleton Man, but the Microman Skeleton Man gear that came out a few years back, as seen here... http://www.microforever.com/vp04&vp05waldercostume.htm
The Gray Man stuff would be killer too.
I have one of the 90's Henshion Cyborgs too, I threw some gear I had sitting around on him....

BTW: Do you read Super 7 magazine, the US Japanese toy mag.? It's pretty cool, I have a subscription, and they cover Micronauts/Microman/Neo Henshion Cyborg, as well as lots of other Japanese toys.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ohhhhh I gotcha now. I haven't seen one up for grabs as of yet, nor very many of the Microman exclusives especially of that sort. I'll have to ask around about the Skel/gray suits.Quote:

Your henshin looks cool in the gear...mine's still naked bearing his wacky lobster claw glove, I should really deck him out somtime.
