>>9467415The Microman relaunch in the 00s was sold in KB and was actually pretty cheap. I remember them being $6 or there about. Two packs were maybe $12. I think licensed figures were $20 for two.
It was pricey compared to the GI Joe 2 packs, but it was a hell of a deal for what you got.
Just look at this. It's still better than modern MLs, most modern japanese lines, and it's only 1:18 scale.
>>9467440>somehow those hold up way better.I bought mine directly from Takara a year before they came out in the US and they snapped basically right out of the box. Complete bootleg quality, so they just randomly broke. And they didn't just break at a joint or other thin part. They fucking broke right in the middle of a solid piece. Completely random where they broke.
I also bought Japanese-only figures, btw. So none of it was manufactured for the US release.
I can't emphasize enough that the transparent plastic ones were shit, because only these broke. The opaque ones were fine.
