Just a heads up, and please move to the forum best suited to this kind of information.
Kaiyodo, the same company that makes Revoltech is going to be offering a line called Assembleborg. These will be mix and match toys with Microman coolness and revoltech ball joint assembly.
The possibilities for kitbashing and customs is infinite.
Thought you guys should know...

What an economically horrible time to come out with a toy of this level. $56 for a high quality Microman is going to be a tough sell.
Good luck with it.

yeah, well... the economics are there.
Demand seems to be high for Figs in medium to short-runs... making them collectors items overseas, and meeting some small otaku demand in asia.
It sucks. It would be too cool if Hasbro or such tried their hand at this, but there have been two recent failures in this market for an American mass-produced figure. 1 was the failure of the Micronauts revival. The other was the failure of Xevoz.
Trade-marked materials seems to be the only way to run anythng in mass-production... and that makes sense given how the market has slimmed down.
It is what it is. The line is brilliantly executed, and therefore will get some of my money.
