If they are micro-fig scale then what are the small non-minifig promo
polybags then?  Do I have to invent the term milli-fig scale?

Millifig scale proposal:

Uses a 2x2x1 45 degree slope piece as a window
Uses the inverted piece as part of a boat hull.

Goto Huw's promo site and look at the 1298 ? Advent Calendar which has
the widest range of the models I'm thinking of.  Also at the site choose
the Polybag catagory which has a wide selection.  I always thought this
was microfig scale - I was obviously wrong.

1.  Bigger than nanofig-scale.  A heckuva lot bigger than
picofig-scale.  Femptofig-scale would be, well, off the scale.

Well, I've got some Modulex LEGO pieces from 1963 which are 1/3 smaller
then normal pieces and come in a variety of colours.  I wonder what
scale these are?

(...) I wasn't aware of them. I thought usage of "microfig" (as well as "minifig") is pretty much unofficial. Has "microfig" been used in Lego marketing already? (...) It's my understanding that physical scale is variable and up to the modeller. (...) (26 years ago, 31-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)
