bring on the micro figures

Those are pretty awesome, how small are the figures? 1.5 inch?

No way, MAXO I want a 19" tall walking Hedorah! Huuuuuuuge!

I think they are about 3 inches.

wheres the keychains?

A collection of just minis or micros would probably be tight.
But I think five inch figures or bigger is the best size.

This was inevitable, and a wise move on Gargamel's part because as collectors grow older and spend more time in the hobby, the less shelf space they'll have.

How much cheaper will they be, though? You can make the toy smaller but you still need labor to assemble and paint them. Any details?

I know nothing about them, I swiped the photo form Kaiju Taro's flickr.

These are awesome.
I got a set but then painted and sent them back to gargamel.
I wanta whole bag of these for dinner tonite.
Has anybody got the new hyper hobby. Somebody told me today that there is a pic of killer in it. i wanna see.

Yes, Bwana. Your Killer figure is there!

Exactly how big are they, and how much does the set cost?

I think they are about 1.5" tall. No price on them yet but the micro smogon was $40-45, it was part of the lucky bag so I am not sure if that will stick.

I think they're 3-3 1/2" tall.

Jesus Christ in a rocket-powered wheelchair! That's expensive. I wonder what they'll cost when they're released individually or in smaller sets.

The weeble-like proportions of these might make it easier for them to do clear versions with guts and stuff inside.

I really like the mini Smogon.

Maybe they are 2" tall. I think at some point making them smaller doesn't cut the cost much. The vinyl cost (amount used) between the mini and micro is probably pennies. Basically you are paying for the labor, shipping and packaging.

Yeah, from what I understand there is a range in which your final cost per piece isn't affected much by the size of the toy, but they can cut down production time a bit with smaller toys because they can cram more body parts into each mold.

Still, they're cute. I hope they do something special with the designs like translucent doodads or other gee-gawgery.

I have a bag of micro micro Gargamel figures that I got from somewhere.
Must be like 50 or 75 in the bag. Probably 3/4 inch tall representations of some of the older figures with more of a flat style to them. Hard to explain.

Holy crap! I want that micro Zag!

so these are actually smaller than the keychain ones???

i wish they'd put them in gachapon machines at the local market ^^

They would have to have machines that took $20 bills (or lotsa quarters).

They have Kubrick vending machines, why not?

These are the keychain ones.

those roooooooooool

they make me want to eat them.
