Looks: 4.5 out of 5
I love the looks of microman figures. The transparent colored plastic. The metal heads. The crazy accessories. It all adds up to one cool little action figure! The metal heads all have the vintage microman look to them. The bodies are a nice simple sculpt in keeping with all microman figures. Each figure has its own unique design painted on his chest and shoulders. The mixture o fthe transparent colored plastic with the opaque colored plastic is a nice touch.
Articulation: 5 out of 5
Bow down to the gods of articulation among small action figures. Not only do they have insane articulation, they also have an amazing range of motion for their various joints. They also are still nice and stiff despite the massive articulation unlike some other action figures. They have articulation at the neck, shoulders, upper arm, elbow, wrist, waist, hip, upper thigh, knee and ankle. The have the coolest elbow joints of any figure I have seen.
Accessories:5 out of 5
You want accessories? Baby, I got your accessories right here! These bad boys each come with their own set of weapons. The accessories are all in the same "metal" color as the Microman heads. While usually I like painted details on my accessries, on these figures, the metal look works much better with these figures. Ninja Microman comes with chest armor, a Katana, a sheath for the Katana that hands off the back of his chest armor and one insanely large sword. Gunner Microman comes with chest armor that has a huge Gatling gun style machine gun attached to it. It is huge and very bad-assed. Commander Microman has chest armor, a pistol, a holster for his pistol, a knife and a large gun with scope. Spy Microman comes with chest armor that has these two wild arm like things attached to the top of the back of the armor. These can move in a full 360 degree range. Plus he comes iwth this wild knife attachment for one forearm and a wicked claw attachment for his other forearm.
But, wait, there is still more!!! Each figure comes with a total of 6 pairs of hands! An open hand pair, a closed fist pair, a karate chop pair, a loose grip pair, a medium grip pair and a tight grip pair. Just pop the hands off and you can swithc to whatever pair of hands you desire.
Value: 3.5 out of 5
There is always a downside to everything, huh? these figures aren't too expensive, but they aren't cheap, either. They cost around $10 per figure. That isn't too bad, but it is slightly more than you usually see for action figures their size. Still not a bad deal for all the features and accessories these figures come with.
Coolness: 5 out of 5
C'mon, these guys rock! They look cool with their metal heads, colored transparent plastic and insane accessories. Plus, their sweet ariculation makes them great toys to pose or play with.
Overall: 4.6 out of 5
I love these figures! If it weren't for the value these guys would have made a serious run at a perfect score. Without a doubt, these bad boys are an excellent addition to my collection and they are currently busy intimidating my other microman figures!
