Takara released Clear Mode M13X on
October 6th 2000 as part of the on going Toys R Us Clear Mode series of
Microman. The M13X, however, broke new ground by having the figure
done completely in clear plastic (with the exception of hands and
feet). Previous clear mode figures had clear body but solid
pelvic and shin sections. The all clear figures made the
Clear Mode series much more interesting. Many of the prototype
vintage Microman were done in all clear plastic much like these M13X
clear mode figures. Clear
Mode M13X are really beautifully done. The set came package in box
that resemble the old vintage Spy Magician box. While these
figures do not come with capsules (original Spy Mage did not come with
capsule), they did include the usual Spy Magician accessories set of two
Spy Bracelets and Magic Wands, "L" connector (white) and smoke
clear figure stands.
Takara made a brand new mold for the body
section of M13X instead of using the mold that was made by
Romando. The rest of the body came from reproduction version of
M11X & M12X. It was not a surprise that Takara reissued
M13X type since they already have most of the parts for it.
Clear Mode Set of M13X type made a nice addition to this particular
series since the only clear body so far is the elusive M130 Dio issued
by Romando back in 1997. (Only 200 M130 Dio were issue by
Romando).
