I'll get some pics of what i have together tonite. A chestplate database would be swell too. Welcome to the new microman forum here on skullbrain. I want to bring a little micro fervorrr here.
Feel free to add on if I’m missing anything, but this is most of it. I didn’t include books, magazines, manga, US comics, rare small products etc. where the M10X or Time Traveler image appears as this list would never end if I did. Witness firsthand the pain of Takara SF Land Collecting… Microman,M10X, Time Traveler, Cosmoman List: Pre Number Microman Vintage (short hand cuff, barefoot): (release descriptions from http://www.microforever.com THE online bible for Microman Collectors!): About first issue: Founder Series or First Series Microman. These early Microman figures were similar in many way to M10X but they did not have 5mm port and they came with barefoot design. The first version had metal tab instead of the rubber tube to hold together the arm sections. Clear Microman first issue Yellow Microman first issue Blue Microman first issue Orange Microman first issue About second issue: Takara replaced the metal tab design with the rubber tube. The first two released were sold only as part of Microman Kit-Machine toys. Clear Microman second issue Yellow Microman second issue Blue Microman second issue Orange Microman second issue About third issue: Takara sold the figure separately in white capsule. The early capsule was similar to the later 1975 capsule but the lid had extra engrave details and the bottom capsule tray had two plastic tabs to hold the figure in place. Clear Microman third issue Yellow Microman third issue Blue Microman third issue Orange Microman third issue About fourth issue: Takara introduced 5mm port to the original series Microman and replaced the barefoot with M11X style cybernetic shoe. The short cuff style was also change to the common long cuff style. M101 George fourth issue M102 Jack fourth issue M103 Jesse fourth issue M104 John fourth issue About fifth issue: By mid 1975, Takara also changed the short shoe to the longer type just as they changed the M11X type shoe to the longer type. The early version shoes were too short and made the figure difficult to stand and pose. M101 George fifth issue M102 Jack fifth issue M103 Jesse fifth issue M104 John fifth issue About sixth issue: Takara added the word "Japan" to the back just above the 5mm port. This was probably done to distinguish M10X from Mego Micronauts version. Takara also changed the design of the capsule sticker from the green badge design to the Microman Command style logo. M101 George sixth issue M102 Jack sixth issue M103 Jesse sixth issue M104 John sixth issue About seventh issue: In 1978, Takara began to use semi-opaque white shoulder part for the figures. Some of the early Microman figures that became out of stock in 1978, like the M10X, M11X and M12X, were produced with the new semi-opaque part. The semi-opaque shoulder parts would became common for most of the New microman figures. Takara also changed the color of M103 from dark cobalt blue to lighter sea-blue color. Also added to 1978 version were the small holes on each side of the legs. The hole was design for the Rescue Power Up Accessories. Takara released two set of Rescue Power Up accessories in 1979 and one of the set even came with two new members of M10X (in smoke clear and clear green). Takara planed several more Power Up accessory which would take advantage of the holes now common to most Microman figure since Command series but the Power Up Series was cancel along with the Original Microman line in 1980.

I forgot there were also some 1 day license kits to make your Microforce figures into M10X style figures. I'm sure there are a million other 1 day license kits as well that would extend this list quite a bit....
nice man, that's a lot of work putting this list together. This good deed will go down on your permanent record.
oh flippin rad. that list is soo nice. read thru the first list and was thinking about the skeleton chest plate, and there it was. Maybe the karate outfit and the snowboarder should be in there somewhere too. And.. .sinice the henshin outfits use the barefoot body type maybe those? I also saw a bandana once. I wanted it pretty bad but the dood wouldn't sell it to me as it was part of his own collection. You know the shop I'm thinking of? I think that had some barefoot action on it but can't remember.
VP01 Flesh Body Copper Head Red Grapple Outfit VP02 Flesh Body Gold Head Black Grapple Outfit VP03 Flesh Body Blue Head White Grapple Outfit I think these are the karate outfit ones. The Snowboarder is an M12X body type, I think.
Yep you beat me to the answer Dave, the Grapple's are the Karate guys. and the Warp Magazine mail away snowboard Microman is an M12X.
These are raddest of the rad - half sized time travellers - very articulated When is Gargamel going to do clear green????
These phone strap figures are a perfect size to fit in the "Micro- Shell" diving bell that comes with MF2-03 Divemaster Roberto from the 2004 series. http://www.microforever.com/2004Divemaster.htm
Correction: there is a third added chest plate design from Palisades, the one I designed for the Time Medic (Dave Waugh designed the other two, though they turned out a little bigger than he had specified), which it comes with instead of the other six listed. The medic's chestplate has a medic motif to it and has two sockets that allows an included Membros cable (or a Rescue Microman's gun cable) to interface between the chest "cyber-module" and the "med-pod". The med-pod itself is designed to either stand on two (included) figure stands, upright, or replace the hibernation chamber in Astrostation and can hold a figure inside it or on top of it on a 5mm peg as an operating table.
That is a great list. Here is a helpful hint, though, if I may -- rather than keep revising and reposting the list, simply go back and edit your first list higher in the thread as THE master list. Then it will be easy to find for everyone because it is near the top of the thread on the first page of posts. Easier to find and you can always update it.
