MA-20 SAMURAI ARMOR BATMAN

Microman Samurai Armor Batman or Batman Arrange is TAKARA in house original Batman design much like Microman Batman Flight Gear Version. The 2005 theme was Samurai Armor and is supposed to be Batman in said armor. Samurai Batman is essentially black and red Microman Military Force body with chrome armor suit. The pelvic is the only part that is remolded the rest of the body is the same as standard Military Force body. The armor parts snap onto various 3mm ports. The armor parts are chromed silver (the prototype and promo version was done in champagne gold color). The figure comes with vinyl light green cape that plug into 5mm port. Samurai Batman comes with two samurai swords with scabbards that snap onto the armor. The pelvic section is the only new body part and the armor skirts snapped on to it.

While Batman collectors will probably skip this figure just like the Flight Gear Batman, Microman collectors might enjoy this figure. This is essentially Microman Military Force with Samurai Armor pieces with "bat" design motif. If TAKARA were to replace the design with Medieval Knight Suit of Arms, the figure could easily becomes a Microman 2005 Micro-Knight Force. I actually dismiss this figure at first but the figure is probably more Microman-like than the other Micro Action Batman figures. He fits nicely on the shelf with the rest of Microman Force line.
