M251
Robin, M252 William & M253 Richard (vintage)
M25X Type was released during the first half of 1979 for the Rescue Microman series along with
M26X
type. M25X Type shared the same basic body parts as the M26X
and also the subsequent M27X and M28X.
M251, M252 & M253 were sold
individually in white Rescue capsule. M251 Robin was also
sold as pack-in figure for Rescue Command
Jetter vehicle and Rescue 1-2 Jetter-Bongo Set. M252 William was sold as two-pack set
with Rescue Servo Man - Missiler. Not until
after the release of M27X and M28X during the second half of 1979 that
Takara would used the idea of "exclusive" pack-in figure
as an incentive 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 the New Microman
series. In 1980, Takara released Rolling Thunder
with blue/red M25X figure. This figure was not given any designation number or
name at the time but when Romando reissue M25X type in 1997 the figure
was named Wayne and given M254 designation. Romando also released
new member call M255 Wilder however this figure number was override when Takara
reissued M251, M252 and M253 in 1999 as part of Replica Microman Series
along with three new member - M255 Steve, M256 Virgil and M257
Charles. Takara, however, purposely skip reissue of M25* figure
that came with Rolling Thunder. M254, now renamed Stuart by
Takara, was to be reissued in late 2002 as e-Hobby on-line exclusive.
