MATERIAL FORCE SHINING-COAT EDITION

TAKARA release special set of five Microman Material Force in special "shining coat" colors using metallic plating and speckle plastic. The shining coat Material Forces are sold as a box set exclusively at Toys R Us (Japan). The five color for the Shining Coat are Metal Green, Silver, Gold, Copper and Chrome. Each figure comes with matching extra hands set. The plating are nicely done and the figure look very pretty. The joints are extra tight (and some are very stiff and require a bit of force to move) which is good since some of the recent MF have very loose joints. The set allow for some cool custom with accessories from the standard Microman line. Since TAKARA have yet to over-use special "metallic edition" with the Microman Force line, this Shining-Coat Edition make a nice addition to both Material Force and regular Microman line-up.

 

 

METAL GREEN - MICROMAN EMERAUDE

Emeraude (Emerald) is metallic green plated Material Force. The joints are in metallic green color plastic (un-plated).

 

 

SILVER - MICROMAN MERCURE

Mercure (Mercury) is metallic silver plated Material Force. The joints are in metallic silver gray color plastic (un-plated).

 

 

GOLD - MICROMAN GOLD

Gold is metallic gold plated Material Force. The joints are in goldish-yellow color plastic (un-plated).

 

COPPER - MICROMAN AES

Copper is, strangely the only non-plated Material Force in this Shining-Coat Edition set. The figure is made from copper color plastic with metallic speckle. The joints are done in the same color as the body (also not plated). Takara probably want to make one of the figures unique from the rest, and try different "shining-coat" method with him, unfortunately he just look very un-shiny and a plated copper color would have been better.

 

 

CHROME - MICROMAN ZINC

Microman Zinc is metallic dark chrome plated Material Force. The joints are in metallic gray (hemp) color plastic (un-plated).

 

 

ACCESSORIES

Each figure comes with extra matching color hands set. However, like other Material Force releases, the figure stand is not included.


Unfortunately there is no background story or cool origin story for these Microman Material Force. Perhaps, TAKARA feel that Material Force figures are for custom fodders, but the bio from the early Material Force figures really help give these guys the unique characteristics.
