Anyone else remember these? I bought one at a Suncoast Entertainment in FL when I was like 12 and it was the coolest fucking thing. I was never able to find any more and by the time I was buying stuff online they were all kind of expensive, but they look gorgeous.

I am 99% sure I had this one. Why is translucent plastic & chrome so great?

I remember seeing this one in the little pamphlet and wanting it so bad. The bike becomes his armor. I never got one.

This series was fragile as fuck. They suffered from bad plastic and multiple limb breaks especially in the second series. The female Microgirls fixed some of the issues in their line-up, but it was too late. the line was set to go into limbo once again.

I have a bunch of the rarer ones (comic Superman, Scar Predator etc), and I handle them like a Ming vase. For all the articulation and accessories, they’re not really action figures. Very fragile.

I had a few of these back in the day. Probably still do. One of the last ones I remember buying was a Catwoman. My favorite was the one with the garters and undercup lingerie, because I'm a complete degenerate.

There were a few fragile ones for sure, like break right out the box fragile, but the few I still have are in good condition and the joints are reasonably tight. Still lots of fun to pose.

I don't know but I wish we had a modern line of figures that featured it so prominently.

Is it still possible to find these things for decent prices anywhere?

They pop up on ebay at either okay or fucking retarded prices. I saw Chirico Cuvie going for like $150 opened. But then other sort of rare ones like Grabz and Muzan can be found around ~30. The first acroyear X series are pretty easy to find, and they capture the best of 2000s microman style.

Luckily I recently discovered some at a local hobby shop, like some dude keeps dumping them there and selling them way below value.

These are really cool - never seen them before. Are they by any chance related to the Micronauts line from the '70s? The aesthetics are similar but in all honesty these are more attractive, especially the mix of translucent and metallic elements. Nice post, OP. Thank you for introducing these to those who didn't know about them.
