M261 Chris (vintage), M262 Adam (vintage) & M263 James (vintage)

M26X Type was released during the first half of 1979 for the Rescue Microman series along with M25X type.   M26X Type shared the same basic body parts as the M25X and also the subsequent M27X and M28X.

M261, M262 & M263 were sold individually in blue Rescue capsule.   M261 Chris was also sold as pack-in figure for Rescue Command 2 Bongo vehicle.  M262 Adam was sold as two-pack set along with Rescue Servo Man - Data and he was also package with Rescue Power-Up accessories set.   Not until after the release of M27X and M28X during the second half of 1979 that Takara would used  the idea of "exclusive color" pack-in figure as an incentive for kid to buy playset and vehicle.   This tactic of offering special color figure as an exclusive pack-in would continued through Microman Punch year and eventually on to New Microman series.  In 1980, Takara released Black Tiger Tank with a dark green M26X figure.  This figure was not given any designation number or name until Takara reissued the figure in 2002.
