Chun-Li

What I like about the microman line is it's high level of articulation at 3.75" scale. Also I like that you can find them for $5 at most conventions.

Hey look, it's Chun-Li. The last time she was in this scale it was a really bad Street Fighter Toy that was essentially classic GI Joe: RAH figures with day-glo street fighter costumes. Oh 90's, how I miss you. Partially because I was still wide eyed and innocent.

This figure is pretty bad ass though. It comes with translucent pegs to simulate jump kicks and floating. And you can pose it in pretty much anything you can dream up. Hooray for articulation! And for this scale it looks pretty damned good.

Batman & Batgirl (Microman)

You know, I'm pretty sure that the guy I bought this from on e-bay swapped out the Batman figure with the single-card Batman. But I like this one better, so, meh.

Why did I buy this toy?
Because I wanted a 3.75" Batman but not the Infinite Heroes one. I'm more than a little disappointed by the limited articulation of the Infinite Heroes figures. So when I remembered they made a Microman Batman with the whopping 30+ points of articulation I decided to go on e-bay and get one. The best deal was in a 2-pack with Batgirl, who I wouldn't mind getting for an okay price, and a Catwoman package, so score.

Any regrets?
Yeah, that I didn't buy that $5 Chun-Li Microman when I had the choice. I also wish that Batman's cape had the same hinge as Batgirl's. (There's a hinge at the top of the cape which allows the cape to be bent at a 90 degree angle.) Action figure capes and they're immobility have always been a pet peeve of mine.

Am I happy with my purchase?
Extremely. The figures have an amazing amount of articulation. (Batgirl's hair also has a hinge to allow the simulation of her hair blowing behind her as she's running.) And they're perfectly in scale with the Marvel Universe figures. The bonus hands also allow a lot of play value. I really like the Mircroman toys now. If they weren't so expensive (import toys) I'd get a bunch more of them. I can't wait to open the Catwoman Microman.
