Set A consisted of reissued M261 & M262. and set B consisted of reissued M263 & M264. M264 was originally an unnamed dark green M26X type Microman figure that came with Black Tiger Tank. For the reissued, Takara gave him formal designation as M264 Fred.

Replica Series M26X type came from new mold and not from the old molds like the M25X. The reissued head was a little smaller in size and lost some of the details of the original but it was still a pretty nice reproduction. The new reproduction body was almost identical to the vintage figure. There was however one minor gripe, the white plastic used for M261 was difference from not only the vintage but from the one used with reissued of M252 & M253 which made the figure look like a cheap knock-off.

Each Replica M26X set came with the usual accessories - Pulsar Shot gun & Energy Backpack and a pair of Microman figure stands. Each figure was packaged inside Rescue Microman case. The case was molded in gray plastic (perhaps to match the gray of the Rescue Secret Base). This was probably done also to save cost since the vintage versions of Rescue Series cases came in several different colors. The new gray case could then be used for all the Rescue types. Beside these accessories Takara included a little surprise addition for M26X set - they published a new mini catalog that resembled somewhat the old Rescue Microman catalog and included it with the set. The catalog had a gatefold picture that included all the Rescue Team Microman that were produced by Takara including the recent additions from the new Replica Series - M255, M256 and M257. The other side of the catalog had a brief story of Microman Rescue Team.
