Had to look that up[0], since I haven't closely been keeping up with LEGO since my childhood, and for now lack children of my own to renew interest. Interesting concept, but it doesn't look like they're still "officially" used?
EDIT: Oh, the article states that this set comes with two microfigs. My bad, I should pay closer attention next time!

- rtkwe 7y agoI was wrong about the name the wiki seems to call what's included in the ISS set Nanofigures. Though it seems like places use both nanofig and microfig interchangeably since microfigs are discontinued. https://rebrickable.com/parts/90398/minifig-trophy-statuette/ https://rebrickable.com/parts/90398/minifig-trophy-statuette... https://lego.fandom.com/wiki/Nanofigure https://lego.fandom.com/wiki/Nanofigure https://www.firestartoys.com/Shop/LEGO-Minifigures/LEGO-Nanofigures.html https://www.firestartoys.com/Shop/LEGO-Minifigures/LEGO-Nano...

- rtkwe 7y agoAh yeah I was just eyeballing it and the nanofigs did seem a bit big. It's tricky because going up just double size probably doesn't give them much chance to add more detail the way people would want and 4x would make it way too large and expensive.
