Micro
Action Series MA-10 Catwoman came on the same style re-sealable
blister card as the previous Micro Action releases. The
card feature Catwoman logo along with comic book drawing
of recent rendition of Catwoman. There was a Batman logo
on the corner to denote that the character belong to
Batman series.
|
Catwoman
was a spin-off character from Batman comic book. Like many of
the old comic character, Catwoman recently got a complete revamp
with new look.
Microman
2004 came with new style figure stand. The stand
features Microman "Da Vinci" style logo emboss
on clear plastic with two styles of pegs - one for
the newer Microman 2004 figures and one for the vintage
figures with 5mm port. |

Takara
followed up the successful Microman Micro Action Batman series with
three more figures from the Dark Knight comic license. The first was
repaint of the previously released Batman figure and the other two were
entirely new molds using the Microman female core body source. The first
female character was, of course, Bat-Girl (which sold as a two-pack
along with Batman repaint) and the other was Catwoman. Catwoman took the
cancel Spiderman slot and was designated MA-10. (So it appeared all
Micro Action will get MA designation regardless if they were male or
female). Batman and Bat-Girl two-pack set was designated as MA-SP01
(while the Devilman & Sileen Manga versions two-packs got SP-02
numbering). Catwoman along with Batman & Bat-Girl were released on
September 30th, 2004 together with Microman Biomachine series and Micro
Action series Devilman & Sileen set. DC Direct had announced that
they will be bringing Takara Microman Batman line to the US. |
Takara Micro Action Series depicted the new
modern version of Catwoman with black leather outfit and a goggle. (I
have to admit that I am not a DC comic books fan and I know very little
when it come to DC universe.) The body was based on the new Female Microman
Full Action body. Takara had molded
several new pieces just of this figure including new torso, and new
feet. The female body source, while very nice, was never seem to be as
refine as the male body. Overall, the figure was a decent rendition of
the current Catwoman. Takara for some reason had decided to change the
way the female body get assemble and the pelvic piece on all the female
figures since Lady Microman Xiang-ni, were left loose and wiggle about.
Although, this do not detract from the figure look, it can be quite
distracting when posing the figure as the pelvic section got rattle around. Microman Catwoman came with special "cat claws"
hands, but Takara also included standard Microman body hands (six pairs
on the tree, and two on blister pack itself, since female Microman body
came with one more pair than the male body). The figure also came with
wipe, interchangeable feet with dagger shoes, and extra head so you can
display her with or without the goggle. |
