Tatsunoko Fight Microman

Tatsunoko Microman series was actually based on 2000 Playstation game released by Takara called "Tatsunoko Fight". The game was along the same concept as "Marvel VS Capcom" but using the classic characters from Tatsunoko studio; Gachaman, Casshan, Tekkaman, Polymer and newly created character called Volter. Tatsunoko Fight used the new Microman 2003 body as basis for the figure, however that was the extent of the Microman connection. While this was not the first time Microman liscensed characters from other series (Geeg, Gakeen, Devilman, etc.) only the Microman logo itself connected it to the franchise. The figures were all well done, with high attention to details, but were simply not Microman. Perhaps the use of chrome plated heads would have helped them appear more Microman-like. While these figures used the same basic body as Micro Force, several of the body parts had been modified to fit each character. Each figure also came with extra interchangeable hands and some came with their signature weapons and cape. Casshan came with extra head with his mouth piece in open position.

With the popularity of Microman 2003, Takara expanded the line for 2004 series and character based Tatsunoko Fight became Micro Action Series. Takara also released 2nd run of Tatsunoko Fight figures in 2004. They were also given designation numbers as MA-0X series.

Tatsunoko Fight Microman came in the same tube style packaging as Microman Micro Force

Takara Tatsunoko Fight - 2000 for Sony Playstation

If there can be a collective of Super Friends, why not a cabal of super villains? The forces of evil from the various anime series created by Tatsunoko Studios have merged their powers, so the heroes of those same universes must join forces to save us all. This saving takes the form of a lot of unarmed combat - you can probably figure out what to do from here. You must do battle with the great villains of those various shows - or even other heroes, in Vs. mode. Series whose characters are included are Gachaman (better known as Battle Of The Planets in the U.S.), Tekkaman, Casshan, and Polymer The Hurricane Fighter. A new character in the classic Tatsunoko Studios mold, Volter The Lightning, is introduced here for the first time.
