LED Powers Series - Secret Breaster

L-16 Spy Arthur & L-17 Ninja Izam (6/29/00) L-18 Sniper Walt & L-19 Command Odin (7/19/00)

Secret Breaster Micromen are repainted versions of Laser Microman L-1 - L-4. Each figure comes with heat-sensitive paint on the chest which when rubbed or exposed to heat reveals a "secret" mission color. There are four different "secret" colors for each figure. One can tell which color is inside the package by looking near the UPC code on the back of the package. Next to the UPC code is a small color dot sticker which correspond to the "secret" chest color.

Each figure comes in a "Real Type" color scheme. The "secret" color changing chest is black when at normal room temperature. For the chest to change color, one has to really give it a good rub but even then the color change can be pretty uneven. To get the full effect, I find that you must expose the figure to heat (i.e. let them sit in the sun) and the chest will change to a very vibrant color and even stay change for a long period of time.

Another interesting about the Secret Breaster is that it confirms a fact that these new Microman are wearing body armor and they can change them much like changing into a new set of cloth. In the new catalog, one panel did depict Master Microman Solomon working on a Secret Breaster suit.

Takara split the Secret Breaster into two separate releases; L-16 & L-17 were released in June and L-18 & L19 were released in July along with L-20 Micro Truck which includes Secret Breaster Pilot Edison.

Variations

Each Secret Breaster Microman comes with four different heat -sensitive paint color variations : red, blue, green and yellow. The color of the Breaster is a secret code for a specific type of missions.
