To see such discussion on the attributes and definitions of micro-scale is quite exciting. I decided to open up my PowerPoint on the topic and see how I originally defined it. "Microfig--anything smaller than minifig scale. May assume that a person (...) (22 years ago, 26-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.microscale)
