Microman New Stand

Microman 2004 came with new style figure stand. The stand features Microman "Da Vinci's The Vetruvian Man" style logo emboss on clear plastic with two styles of foot pegs - one for the newer Microman 2004 figures and one for the old Microman figures with the 5mm port.

Microman 2004 Acroyear X-2 Series was released on Jan. 27th, 2005. The series was delayed from the original December release date and one of the last Microman series for the 2004 line-up as the line moved on to the 2005 Magne Force series to be debuted in April. Acroyear X-2 as the name suggested was the followed up series to the Acroyear X. However instead of four Acroyear, the series was split into two Acroyear figures (AX-21 AcroPhantom and AX-22 AcroMedalg) and two Acro Lady figures (AL-21 AcroElsa and AL-22 AcroPlana). Acroyear X-2 followed the same sci-fi / fantasy theme of the Acroyear X and Acro Lady series with elements from many of the recent popular Japanese anime and manga.

AX-22 AcroMedalg (Medal-lug) was one of the figures in the X-2 series that used some new tooling for the body (the other one was AcroElsa and AcroPlana). Medalg (who was previously called AcroGolem) had bulkier torso and arms than the standard Microman Full Action body. Medalg's design was very unusual with lug-nut head and oversize arms and legs armors. The armors was not snap on design but actually hold together by small screws, so in order to remove the arm and leg armors, one actually need small screwdriver to take them off. (The figure came with the arm and legs armors already on). The arm pieces were very well design with fully articulated claws that mounted on ball joint. The figure came with chrome chest piece and rocket booster pack. Since his armor set was design by Voltech, it was nice to see similar design elements show up on AcroMedalg. The figure came with set of hands (plus the two open fist that usually came ship with the figure). The wrist of the figure has small ridge that allowed the armors to twist. While the use of small screw made the armor harder to remove, it was rather nice to have the armor that stay snug and secure on the body. AcroMedalg's design could take some getting used to for some, but personally I find him to be a nice addition to the Microman line-up and one of the best design in the X-2 Series.
