Lost & Found


After days marching in the blistering sun. Micromen John and George stumble across an amazing artifact - an Aegyptus Time Chamber eroded by the elements, but will it still function?
The Micromen shown here are different from the standard 3 inch figures in that they are actually just over one inch tall. These Takara figures come attached to a small lanyard suitable for use with a mobile phone and each one has the name of the figure - Jesse, John, George and Jack embroidered on the strap. The figure is attached by a small removeable eyelet in the back of the head. The amazing thing is that apart from the elbow joints and ankles, all the main points of articulation are present at this small scale. These cool figures and the fabulous Eagle were donated to the Wotan archive by the extremely generous CS.

Oh, cool. I remember seeing these in a magazine, but had no idea they were articulated.
