#Alien vs predator microman series
In 2003 Takara decided to test Microman market with brand new but small series called Microman 2003. The Replica Series was still being released in 2002 but was on a very limited basis and mainly through Takara e-Hobby Shop. In 2001 Takara put the new Microman series for the second time on a hiatus. By 2000, Takara, also in financial dire, reduced the new series to just a few dozen of toys and canceled the very expensive Microman anime and also eventually the manga in Bom Bom. The series eventually achieved only a mild success with kids and even less with adult collectors who felt the new series was too different from the old especially with the 8 cm scale and limited articulations of the new figures. The Magne Power series was launched with much fanfare and anticipation on December 26, 1998.
However, the Microman market became very saturated with many variants and by 2001 Takara had severely scale back the release of the Replica Series. In 2000, Takara followed with more reissued and even more color variants. Beside the reissue versions, Takara also released several new color variations and even new members to add to the rank of the old. The Founder series launched the Replica Microman Series and soon were follow with the reissued of many old favorites such as the Acroyear A30X, Spy Magician M14X and Lady Command during the first year.

The Magne Powers Series (and later LED Series) was designed for the kids with brand new toy designs and new story line, including for the first time in Microman history, a Microman anime series. The Replica Microman series was mainly aim at adult collectors and older fans and consisted of reissues of vintage Microman figures along with limited and exclusive new color variations. The new Microman series was divided into two distinct lines - the Magne Powers series and the Replica Microman series.

(Microman 21 series was produced under license by Romando). In 1999, Takara, for the first time since 1984, produced new Microman toys. All of the Microman toys used 5 mm connectors and ports, which allowed parts from one toy to be attached to another toy to form new toys. The cyborg beings were said to hail from the fictional planet Micro Earth, and to disguise themselves as toys. Unlike other toylines at the time, Microman figures were marketed as being the "actual" size of the cyborg beings they were meant to be replicas of. Microman Zone proved to be popular and by its second year, the Microman line was spun off from the "Henshin Cyborg" line. The first series, Microman Zone, included four figures and several vehicles in kit form that needed to be assembled. Since both the cost of producing and the large size of the vehicles and playsets for the 12" dolls were prohibitive, in 1974 Takara decided to produce a miniature version of the Henshin Cyborg line which was called Microman. The body of the Henshin Cyborg was molded in clear plastic to expose the gleaming inner cybernetic implants and the "atomic engine". Joe figures that Takara licensed from Hasbro. The Combat Joe line was created from the mould of the 8" and 12" G.I. The Henshin Cyborg line was a spin-off of the earlier Combat Joe line.
