Will and I got together for a short review of some Micro Force figures. They’re a neat and fun little product, if a bit odd. Some folks won’t care for the prevalence of ninjas, but hey, it was movie related merchandise. And I can forgive it because SKULL HEADED NINJA!
Also, I goofed up and identified Sgt. Stone as Lt. Stone. Oh well.
First off, a bit of thanks is in order for this post. Regular commenter and super Joe-bud Scot AKA Cyko9 sent me this little surprise a few days ago. While I picked up quite a few of the blind bag packs, I never pulled the trigger on the multi-pack carded…

The first tag-team video review for Year 4! Will’s enthusiasm made me feel better about these guys: small & cute. Yep, that’s sums it up.

Some people didn’t care for Micro Force, but I loved these little guys. I have almost all of them. Really wish they had done another wave…

Funny little figures!
Interesting line up of characters. I now want a 4′ skull henchman
