Microman Zone: Clear Mode M11X Type & Clear Mode M12X Type Toys R Us Exclusives (Japan)

Takara released two more "Crystal Mode" Series Microman - the recently reissue M11X type & the M12X type. Both sets followed the previous trend and were available as Toys R Us (Japan) exclusives.

Both sets came in a similar style package as the Solid M10X barefoot (which was also a Toys R Us Exclusive). The background of the package depicts a picture of Earth from space. There is a significance to using the picture of Earth, because both the M11X and the M12X were revived by Spectrum MX ray inside the planet Earth - literally; M11X were revived inside Earth core and M12X were revived inside the Earth crust.

Crystal Mode version of M11X is quite interesting since none of the members originally come in clear color. Crystal M111 Bobson comes in a very nice clear cobalt blue color and Crystal M114 Blacky is done in smoke color. Each figure also come with crystal clear capsule, clear stand and replica sticker sheet.

Interestingly enough, while the vintage M123 Miller came in the clear mode, here in the repro, he is issued as an opaque figure, and looks as striking as his vintage counterpart.

Crystal Mode M12X (released (7/9/2000)) come in the same style package as Crystal M11X
