Catalog
#1(1976) was included with all the boxed items featured within. It was
a tri-fold pamphlet, each fold page being 3"x 5". Most of the photographs
featured were the same ones that were used for their packaging, and sometimes
showed the Microman version of said toy, and even "prototypes" in some
cases. Some notes of interest in this catalog are: the Galactic Cruiser,
which has a different one-barrel missile launcher than the one actually
released, and the never produced Gyrotron. The Gyrotron that is shown
is actually a Microman Escargot vehicle, and the pilot in the cockpit
is the M-124 Max Capsule Microman. Actually, most of the toys pictured
were from the Takara stock, as the catalog was made before the final line
up of the toys was decided on. If it were not for this catalog, I would
probably have never known about the Gyrotron, and made it one of the "grails"
in my collection years later. I always wanted one of those things…
