Rescue Team M26X

M26X Type was released during the first half of 1979 for the Rescue Microman series along with M25X type. M261, M262 & M263 were sold individually in blue Rescue capsule. M261 Chris was also sold as pack-in figure for Rescue Command 2 Bongo vehicle. M262 Adam was sold as two-pack set along with Rescue Servo Man - Data and he was also package with Rescue Power-Up accessories set. Not until after the release of M27X and M28X during the second half of 1979 that Takara would used the idea of "exclusive color" pack-in figure as an incentive for kid to buy playset and vehicle. This tactic of offering special color figure as an exclusive pack-in would continued through Microman Punch year and eventually on to New Microman series. In 1980, Takara released Black Tiger Tank with a dark green M26X figure. This figure was not given any designation number or name until Takara reissued the figure in 2002.

*Note : M264 was originally sold with Black Tiger tank as an unnamed figure. Takara named him M264 Fred when they reissued M26X in September 2002.

Takara also released M26X type as M008 Cleo during 1981-84 New Microman series. M008 were sold in orange/black color for individual sale (in New Microman style capsule), and with blue body and black pelvic as pack-in exclusive figure for Cosmic Fighter.
