"Micro" has two conflicting meanings: figures and size of model. Confusing! Thinking further from Ashley Glennon's talk at BrickFest DC 2004... All models built to accomodate minifigs have a consistent scale (the minifigs can move between them); and (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)
