    Full size.

    Also the PR says those are pocket Ooze, Zag and Bird, I'm assuming it's a misprint and they are micros?

    The crouching Mibora looks bigger than a micro to me.

    other than the painted zag,,,they all look pocket size to me...

    the head on the crouching mibora is different from the micro mibora head...

    The sleeping killer and pocket killer are possibly some of the customs available at the show. Least thats what I'm guessing based since the pictures are coming from Gargamel's blog.

    I meant micro run as in not a full release, if you're referring to my comment.

    And they showed the killers with the run of crouching deathras which leads me to believe that the killers and deathras are micro runs since they are not included in the exclusives list and the killers don't seem like bwana's usual customs calibur. They look closer to when he paints a standard release, like the krokus pack.

    Well they also showed a Le Turd, Burger Buns and Patty Power and I'm guessing those are all one-offs as well. So we really won't know until the preview comes out from Roto. That is if it's even still available after the attendees get their shot at them. The set doesn't even look to be painted by Bwana to me.

    Just seemed like colors Bwana would use. But by the way they said "Preparing for Rotofugi" it's likely that it's someone from over at Gargamel. Hopefully things become more clear soon.

    I agree about it being kind of meh. It would make more sense to have purple accents on the belly. It almost looks incomplete.

    I like it. I think the purple is a little too much, but I'm thinking it's gonna look better in person.

    It looks pretty similar to the pink eyed Lucky Bag version from last year . . . with a splash of purple and without the subtlety.

    Exactly my thoughts, similar to the pink eyed. I think it has the subtle belly/leg sprays too, they just aren't picked up in the pic very much. We'll see, just like the pink eye, love the head on this 1 but agree the body is kinda meh.

    Exactly.
    I realize they're trying to unify them all with a colour scheme, but doesn't leave you much to work with.

    I'd like to see a Frankeruge Zag at some point, white base with green red and blue.

    I'm hoping for a new Standing Hedoran release. GID inner in clear with gold lame vinyl? (or a tokoji like this)

    Ok, probably not going to happen, but one of these days.

    maybe never.

    I can't wait to see what's in store.

    I think micro is a term we use, I think gargamel calls everything pocket.

    I do think the crouching mibora is the normal pocket size and the rest are micro besides the full size zag.

    So many technical terms on sizing....

    Definitely has the same look as last year's Lucky Bags - but this one is a bit better...but that's not saying much. I thought those LB Zags were among the worst ever made.

    I double checked everything I had and they're referred to as "Little Pocket" size, which I believe we've often called "Micro" though Gargamel doesn't seem to use that term officially.

    So yeah...they're tiny (and awesome!)....
