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.
