Microman is the grandfather to modern action figures. They burst onto the scene in 1974 with small scales, interchangeable parts, and an average of 30 points of articulation per figure - a set of characteristics that is still impressive even by today's standards. G.I.Joe and Transformers owe their development to these fantastic toys. Their unique scale and articulation is a clear inspiration for modern 3.75" figures, and later robot-themed Microman waves were literally rebranded to become the earliest Transformers. I also love that Microman has such a unique, timeless style. The bright colors mixed with their trademark metallic heads and occasional translucent pieces is still recognizable and utilized by the brand today. The Lady Command series was rare and represented the only females in the original run (1974-1984). So when a major resurgence in the line happened in 1999, they were some of the most popular reissues. Let's check them out in detail below!
