Is this the first instance of an actual "microfigure"?

I got the idea from Greg Williams a while ago.  I've used these stickfigs
(1) before, here:

http://www.io.com/~jsproat/lego/microfig/mkm16_commercial.shtml

and with my wife here:

I think Stephen Roberts (and maybe others) has also published models with
these little guys too.

I really like working with these stickfigs since they help me keep a
perspective of the scale.  It's *much* easier to eyeball the model and say,
"nope, it's too big" or "too small".  Also, I can focus more energy into the
actual model and spend less time trying to get the little guys looking right.

1.  "stickfig" since they're a stick-man representation of a figure :-,
