Once GiG had released their I Micronauti line, continuing with Megos Micronauts line (See Part 1), they turned their attention to another of Takaras latest brands, Diaclone, releasing many of the figures in Italy.

After Henshin Cyborg which were 12 inch figures in 1972, Takara down scaled in 1974 to 3.75 inch figures in the Microman line and now in the Diaclone line, the figures were now an inch tall and were called "Inch-Men" - (labelled "Dianauti" on GiGs Diaclone boxes).
