Shaun,
Tony mentioned some good ones, another great one featuring *tons* of small
scale mecha sporting all sorts of imaginative hinges/joints is

The website uses frames-click on the 1x2 LEGO brick icon, then "PIC VER",
then scroll down to "ROBO" I only wish I knew Japanese to be able to read
the descriptions...

Hi All,

Here's an interesting (read: unusual) request.  I'm trying to look into some
small humanoid mecha designs .. that is, some designs that simulate a humanoid
form (two arms, two legs, one torso, etc) that meets the following
requirements:

(1) STURDY and playable
(2) Non-Bionicle
(3) Well articulated
(4) Fairly small - 6" tall maximum
(5) ... and, as the subject heading says, fairly humanoid in proportions!

I always see gorgeous designs on here, and in the last year there have been a
slieu of tremendous designs that use unconventional pieces for joints - 1x1
tiles with vertical clips, for example, which are small, compact, and allow
excellent ranges of movement.

The problem is, I don't remember *who* has produced *what*.

So could people please point me to various designs that meet the above
requirements, or showcase small, sturdy designs with good articulation?  Or
sites that showcase various small joints, or sections of mecha that I might
examine?

Thank you for any help in advance!

Regards,
Shaun
