Replica Microman Command 2

Takara followed the release of Microman M10X barefoot with re-issues of Microman Command 1 & 2 in March of 1999 for their Replica Series. This was to be expected since Command 1 & 2 molds were already refurbished by Romando and Romando Microman21 version were getting really hard to find.

Unlike Replica Microman Command 1, Microman Command 2 appeared to come from a different mold than the one used by Romando. It was unclear what happen to the vintage mold that Romando was using, but the new Replica Command 2 did not came entirely from the vintage mold. The main body was cast from entirely new mold. The collar on the figure was slightly raised which prevent the head from moving up and down.

As for the figure colors, Takara version of reissue Microman Command 2, with the exception of M164 Sammy, came very close to the original vintage. Takara Replica M163 Smith had completely clear green body unlike the Romando version which had cloudy plastic. As for M164 Sammy, Takara decided to mold him in light gray plastic (much like Micronauts Type 2 gray Pharoid) instead of the glitter gray plastic. This made Replica M164 very difference from the original and the Romando version.
