Romando Microman 21 - Microman Police Keeper Micro Knight Set

Romando released three boxsets of Police Keeper Micro Knight in 1997 - blue, orange and green. Micro Knights were originally released in 1979 as part of the Police Keeper series. These figures are some of the most detailed Microman figures produced by Takara. The original vintage Micro Knight figures used to command a substantial sum. Romando released excellent reproduction versions of the original. (The figures most likely make from original Takara molds since the figures are nearly identical to the original). Romando set included most of the original figures with exception of MC10. He was replaced by new figure MC07.

MC7 Black Micro Knight. (Green Set) He is the only "new" color Micro Knight in Microman21 Series. Romando originally intended him to be a reproduction of MC10 Platinum Micro Knight but the figure color came out much difference than the original so they decided to give him a new designation.

MicroKnight Story

(translated from NetZeroZero Paper)

Microman Police Keeper build MicroKnight to fight against the new enemy - Satan Ardens, using the Mini-Robotman as a prototype design. MicroKnight are not Microman but rather an android. The body of MicroKnight is coated with special Nitrate compounds which were a naturally occurring substance on Micro-Earth. The special coating allowed the MicroKnight to withstand Arden's Chest Bomber attack without suffer serious damage. The MicroKnights are the same size as the Microman and share the same 5mm ports system, so they can used Microman weapons such as the Police Keeper's Pulsar Wave Energy Gun and the Police Keeper Shield. When the Pulsar Gun is used by MicroKnight, the energy came from inside the android's internal reactor furnace core and then channel through the backpack which made the beam three times more powerful than the normal Police Keeper Pulsar Gun.
