Cosmo Car Series

Takara released two vehicles in 1975 to continue Microman-zone Cosmo Car series started in 1974. Both the Micro Saucer UFO and Micro Cessna had die-cast bodies which gave the toys the weight and sheen not possible with plastic. These two Cosmo Car toys were the only two Microman vehicles that were made from die-cast.

Micro Saucer UFO also came in red and (Micro Cessna only come in blue). Both toys used the same wind-up motor that power the Machine Car series but the motor unit came in white instead of chrome.

Micro Cessna helicopter blades actually spin when the vehicles is moving. The propeller in the front was also double as a missile and can be fire via a spring load mechanism. These two Cosmo Cars are two of my favorite Microman vehicles since I remember them so well from the first Microman Manga episode.
