Clear Mode Microman Lady Command set was the third in what would be a long running series of "Clear Mode" Microman sold at Toys R Us stores as their store exclusive. Clear Mode versions took standard Microman figures and cast them in translucent plastics of their colors. If the original figures were already done in translucent plastics then they would get the reverse treatment and became opaque versions of the same figures. |

Clear Mode Lady Command set was released in March of 2000 during the peak of Replica Microman series. The set replicate the four original Lady Command in their respective translucent version. Each figure also came with beautiful matching "Clear Mode" capsules. The plastic quality was the same as the reissued versions and was generally very good for the most part. The translucent plastics were crystal clear and matched well with the colors of their respective "solid" counterparts which was typical of Takara excellent attention to small details. |

Each Clear Mode Lady Command came with a pair of silver "Angelic Wings" just like their normal mode version. The Clear Mode versions suffered the same fit problem as their reissued versions. The wings did not fit well to the legs and the feet ankles and anklet pieces were very loose. The feet ports were also slightly larger than the standard 5mm which made them difficult to fit onto the figure stand. |

| Clear Mode Lady Command, while gave interesting variations to the old design, they became yet another Microman variants released by Takara to the market that already flooded with several exclusives and limited editions Microman. What once make these variants special and exotic would became mundane as Takara churned out more and more variations of their Replica Microman figures. |  |
