Takara released Microman Electric Dragon 80000V set to commemorate the release of the movie Electric Dragon 80000V. The set consisted of Microman M12X as "Dragon Eye" and M14X as ED80000V "The Thunderbolt Buddha". Microman Asano body was done in teal color with the lower part of the body done entirely in black. The shoes however was in bright red which made him a very interesting looking Microman figure. Asano came with metallic green guitar that can be mount to his back via a 5mm connector. "The Thunderbolt Buddha" was a light blue body Spy Magician M14X figure with black lower half also. He came with gray plastic Spy Magician wand (not chromed) and had metallic copper head instead of the usual Microman chromed head. (The copper head was probably to represent the "Buddha" metal mask he wore in the movie - see below for the complete story). Each figure came with smoke clear New Microman style capsule with "ED 80000V" logo printed on the case. |

Microman "Dragon Eye"

There was little information regarding the Microman connection to the movie, aside from the fact that they represented the two lead characters from the movie played by Tadanobu Asano and Masatoshi Nagase. (I will just assume either someone at Takara really like this movie or someone involved with the movie like Microman toys). ED80000V was a Japanese live action manga-style movie by the director Sogo Ishii. The plot synopsis was pretty simple, the story of ED80000V was about two freaks-of-nature. The first character, played by Asano, was a boy who got overdose on electric shock treatment and became "Dragon Eye" a guitar toting vigilante with 80000 volts of electricity in his body. The second character, play by Nagase, was about a boy who was struck by lighting while he was climbing electric post and became "The Thunderbolt Buddha" a human with so much electricity running through him that half of his body was encase in metal. The two met and the electric charge battle ensued. For more information please check out Snowblood Apple's review of Electric Dragon 80000V.
