It became politically incorrect to refer to their diminutive size as "mini." Think of the children.

I, myself, am waiting for a teacup Mongolion and, perhaps, a snack size Skullman.

I think they started calling them pocket size when they came out with the Zag for SDCC that was smaller than the mini Zag. Since he was called a pocket Zag I believe the rest just followed, but I could be wrong??

Oh, and Hi Missy :D

Hey Missy, think that's weird wait til you see that micro zag.

Next is gonna be a nano zag. I think I might sell the clear proto nano I have on Kidrobot.

That's right, they are getting a boxing of nothing for $30 bucks!

Gargamel called the line. The figures in question.
"pocket kaiju"

I think everybody else does(and should) called others minis.

It brings closure to the question "is there kaiju in your pants or are you just glad to see me?"

Just a wee mini (see how I did that?) Note to self: If I become a rapper "Lil' Wee Pocket" will be my name.

I'm disappointed. I thought they were figures of monsters that had pockets. And you could put other stuff in them.

hope you have got a pocket stomp pendant lying around to put on your chain, and to be extra bling you could open him up and put a second chain inside of him, shit maybe even 2, triple bling (and why is there no smiley with a grill for me to drop on the end of this rant)
