Rupert--I got my first couple micromen last week. They are indeed tiny--maybe a head shorter than starwars, and they do feel fragile (though you're probably to old to be putting them in a AWE striker and rolling them down the stairs). BUT, they are so weird and wonderfully designed--like tiny space mannequins. The accessories don't work as well as I would like--so I would only get one if you really like the figure itself. Keep in mind I only got a couple of the older acroyear figs, which are only about 7 dollars. Acrobiom is especially weird--instead of a head, he has a gigantic parasitic worm sitting on his neck. With practice, you can have the worm coiled upright, cobra-style, with the creatures body dangling above the ground like that Dr. Whatever from Hellraiser II. Very creepy and fun! And the colors are pretty!

I lucked out and found some at the comic shop up the road, but smalljoes.com seems to have a good selection and reasonable prices. I would say if you're just thinking about getting one or two, definitely go for the bad guys ...

Try the Acroyear X-2 AcroPhantom, Acroyear X-2 AcroMedalg, Master Force Automaster Ryan, Acroyear X AcroScorl, or go for all 4 of the Biomachine line kits. The 4 Biomachine kits comprise a giant Transformer(?!) figure. There's a picture of it up-thread. Of the ladies I like AcroPlana, AcroVena, and Acro Elsa the best. The best english resource is here: www.microforever.com/2004Micromanindex.htm

On second thought, the younguns seem to have faded away ... I think Shade5 and I are the only remaining members under 18.
