Any speculation ( or known facts) in regard whether or not Takara will release another comic character ( a la' Batman)? The figure is simply amazing and it would be a shame to stop there....
Also...are there any Microman/Microforce forums / chats out there? It seems the MM fans are spread about..

Don't know of any other forums, though you could ask the webmaster at www.microforever.com/main.htm. It's pretty much the top Microman resource that I know of. If there's enough demand, the admin here can be persuaded to give Microman it's own forum on Robot Japan, but there have to be enough Microman fans who are pushing for it. We hate having forums where people hardly ever post.

The first super-poseable Spiderman (6 years ago?) by ToyBiz would fit nicely into this line-up; the scale, hard plastic and smoother look fits right in. With a major character like Batman showing up, you'd think Takara had the ok for more; I hope so.

Well supposing Takara had some sort of licence for more comic characters, Superman would seem the most likely character to follow.
I've never had the impression that western super-heroes were that popular in Japan though? So I'd be surprised if Takara went for more of them, certainly outside of big league characters anyway.
I think what I'd like to see Takara do is throw a surprised licenced figure int each new wave of Micromen. Rather than producing a series of figures, keep throwing out the odd character figure.
