Takara released special
"Glitter Mode" versions of their Microman Command M150, M160,
M170 & M180 as eS!Toys
(Japan on-line store) exclusives. The
"0" Commands were now designated by Takara as the "Command
Leaders". The figures were sold as two separate set - A &
B. Set A included the Glitter Mode M150 Antonio & M160 Egypton
and Set B included Glitter Mode M170 Takeru & M180 Maria. The
"Glitter Mode" was special metallic plated process with
textures added to the surface instead of the usual smooth chrome
plated. The textures added an interesting effect to these
Microman Commands, especially to their capsules which now appeared almost
as if they were cast in metal.
(Beside these Command Leaders, Takara also released Glitter Mode
versions of Micro Knights as Toys R Us Exclusive). |

Leaders Story
In
the year 2000, while all seem peaceful, suddenly an incident occurs.
Cosmo Satan Arden A356 took control of the crystal satellite that orbit
earth and collect cosmic energy. A356 redirected the cosmic
ray to the Acroyear base. Arden Corp. then amass themselves at Microman
Base at Mt. Fuji and start to destroy several facility. Microman
spring into action at their head quarter and call M150 Antonio - great
authority in Cosmic Energy and M160 Egypton to recapture the crystal
satellite. Arden however could not fully control the crystal
satellite path and it's start to direct the ray to other section of
Earth. The Cosmic Energy hit the ancient ruin of Japan &
Goddess of Freedom from Paris (Statue Liberty) and suddenly two light
streak up into the sky and circle the crystal satellite. They
announce "we came here to help you". Together the four
Microman Commands recapture the crystal body and stop the Arden's plan

Glitter Mode M170 Takeru had metallic black
body with textures and instead of the glow in the dark chest, the figure
had smooth silver chrome part instead. The figure came with
matching "glitter" metallic black capsule, a black stand and a
set of gold plated "Rocket Wings" and "Cutter
Bracelets". The pelvic and shins were done in normal white
plastics.

M170
& M180 had been released in
their "normal" mode as e-Hobby Shop exclusive. The
"glitter mode" versions, while they were very nice addition to
the Command 3 and Lady Command line-up, may seem a little bit of a
redundancy especially in the avalanche of variations released by Takara.
