Thought some of you might like these:
http://www.hirogrim.com/funyakohome.html (click on the pics).

Before you get too excited this website appears not to have been updated since 2004. And also apparently they are now worth much more than 3500yen!
Wish you could see the body properly - SO cute. Like an adult dwarf with an ugly baby's head. They're VERY small: the eraser-type body (all 4 are the same, just different colors) is about 1" high. The backing card is not much bigger than a CD.

What's also interesting is that the same people, or at least one of them, appears to have graduated to THIS: http://www.hirogrim.com/gallery1.html (click for example on bottom left pic) making the header cards for Charactics amongst other things!

If you want to check the site out fully it's www.hirogrim.com (a small window will open as a link to the funyakohome html), but that's about it really.

These are called "Petite Henshin Cyborg" figures and were a fun side project that they made (all hand cast). I have a set, I believe the Ramos has a set, and we even migt have a spare or two kickin around.....

For more info on Hiro Grim, check out the new issue of Pencil Fight (the magazine Bwana does). This just came out recently. There's a lot of toy stuff inside as well.
