Microman Magne Power Kit-Machine

Takara released series of vehicles called Microman Kit-Machines as a tribute to the first Microman toys from 1974. Magne Power Micro Kit-Machines were series of vehicle that came in kit form and must be assemble. The assembly process were pretty easy but time consuming especially when tried to apply all the delicate and thin chrome stickers.

There were five kits, one for each of the Magne Power main characters. The first kit was call Galac Hopper which was clear red grass-hopper that transform into motorcycle. The second kit was call Earth Jetter which was purple dragonfly that transform into jet. The third one was call Micro Escargot which was clear blue snail that transform into hover-craft. The fourth one was call Bulk Lifter which was smoke clear beetle that can transform into a forklift. The fifth one was call Crab Dozer which was a clear green crab that can transform into a bulldozer. Takara gave each Kit-Machines names that were very similar or the same as Microman vehicles from the old series. Beside the simple self-transformation, the Kit-Machines can be combine together to form a giant power suit walker for a Microman figure. Microman Kit-Machines were very beautiful and were also highly details, however because of their plastic kit aspect many collectors were not very fond of them.

Package

Each Microman Kit-Machine was sold in a small box. The boxes were unique to each particular kit. The toy came in kit-form and must be assembled.

Features

Each Kit-Machine can transform into "bug" mode. Beside these transformation modes, the five Kit-Machines can be combine to form a giant power-suit. The combination is pretty basic and involves attaching each kit together.
