Microman Lady Command M18X Type

Lady Command was the first and only female Microman released by Takara in the entire run of the original series. Lady Command was not very popular with kids (boys) nor parents who tend not to buy female figure for boys so very small numbers were produced. These factors coupled with the fact that Lady Command were released late into Command Series year made them at one time one of the most sought after Microman figures. Even with the re-issue of these figures in 1999, vintage Lady Command was still very hard to find and seldom appeared on the collectible market scene.

Lady Command has very beautiful design. The body is very petite with round hoop-like mini skirt. (The prototype was shown with no skirt and was probably added to make the figure more feminine). Lady Command came with Angelic Wings that can be attach to the legs like all the previous Command figures, however the wings can also be attach to their back and turn them into angel like being.

While the other Commands were based on ancient ruin, Lady Command was based on Statue Liberty. This probably because, there was really no ancient ruin in North America and Takara designer was probably looking for something in this geographical area to base the figure on. The reasoning was that many UFO believers theorized that angel sighting in the past was actually sighting of visitors from another planets. Since Statue Liberty symbolized freedom, liberty and love, she was perfect for Lady Command.
