A photo of Takara’s Action Hero Pro figure from the Ryukendo set.
The 16-cm figure could be mistaken for a scaled-up Microman figure (specifically, a Material Force figure). I haven’t read anything about the figure’s development but it wouldn’t surprise me if Takara intended the Action Hero Pro figure to be the new Henshin Cyborg-style base figure for character toys.
Regardless of the original intention, it would appear Takara Tomy has abandoned this design. Aside from the Ryukendo set and Toys ‘R’ Us-exclusive base figure sets released last year there hasn’t been anything new with this design.
It’s a shame considering what a fine action figure this is.
