    Man, this vid gave me PTSD. I managed to get the both the Megalon/Jet Jaguar and Godzilla/Ghidorah packs a few years back. Could never get Megalon or Jet Jaguar put together and they now just sit in the box. As for the Godzilla and Ghidorah set, one of the ankle ball joints ended up breaking for one Microman. At least I learned that the Ghidorah 'suit' is so stiff that it can stand up on it's own without a Microman inside.
    The concept of these figure are really cool, but man, the final product of these crossover figures really leave a lot to be desired.

    In Seattle where I live there is a "Japan Town" there is a store that had these for retail on shelves. It was crazy seeing actual Japanese Godzilla toys in the wild as opposed to Bandai America toys that were being sold at Toys R Us at the time. The ones that I ended up getting were the MosuGoji and King Ghidorah two pack, and the Showa Gamera. Instead of using the Micromen toys inside of them, I instead built a corded wire armature for their frame which I glued to their hands and feet. It works MUCH better.

    • @tenyokensekia8088
      @tenyokensekia8088 Před 2 lety +9

      Whoa, that way you got to keep the Micro but still have the costume be filled by something! You're a clever one! How was their articulation without a whole other figure inside them? I'm genuinely curious, as if it works much better your way then they should have just made a little frame for these costumes like you did and say that WAS the Micro inside them, and the kid just puts the Micro away when they do a transformation. Way quicker and much less fuss!

    I remember them doing something similar to this with the “dress up a figure as a Godzilla character” thing, but with 12 inch figures (basically old GI Joe/Action Man scale) made years ago. I think it works better there as fitting on alternate clothes work better in that 12 inch scale. Fitting on clothes on a figure that’s somewhere at 4 inches sounds like a pain.

  • @whositsnamewhatsitsname3269

    You should include these in the monster island buddies show! Make it like Secret Invasion from marvel or Invasion of the body snatchers or the thing where any of the characters could be a micro, and all the characters don’t know who to trust, like Rodan and Mothra are terrified of each other as they suspect one of them is a micro, that would be a cool and interesting story!

    As for the Godzilla costumes, perhaps installation of the micros could've been made simpler if you took apart the arms and legs of the micro and inserted them first into the limbs, use the hand and feet pieces to lock them in and then insert the body and head afterwards reconnecting the pieces inside.
