    If those mini G.I. Joes are between 1 to 1.4” I will buy so many for my Transformers shelf it’s not even funny.

    Hmmm, i wonder, could you fit those things inside the cockpits found in Titan Returns figures?

    So it seems like World's Smallest™ is actually an existing brand unrelated to the old Takara line and subsequent 3rd party continuation of said line. Just a confusing coincidence, I guess. I actually recall seeing their mini, real working, arcade machines in Walmart or Toys R Us.

    These things being a licensed product and not directly made by Hasbro sucks because that means they cannot transform. Which makes matters worse when you look at the GI Joe ones, which look to be shrunken down versions of the old 80's GI Joe figures complete with original packaging. You can also see Power Rangers ones too in the photo. And I wonder if they'd have the license to do Star Wars too. That would be cool. But that just means, because of Hasbro's rule of licensed Transformers products not transforming, these are really lame by comparison. Because instead of being true World's Smallest Transformers like the original Takara line, these are more like World's Smallest Transformers Heroes of Cybertron, the old non-transforming PVC figure line.

    I saw this toy line when I was on a trip to TN at the Mast General store. My first thought was they should make transformers. I do wish they handled it like their other toys and put them in og G1 packaging. They have hotwheels and stuff in original looking blister packs and such.

    My thought, too. Diaclone sized GIJoes is something I've desired for awhile now.

    Yeah, having Diaclone-sized GI Joes and Micromen/Micronauts would be quite an addition to anyone's collection.

    Meh on the TF, but ho boy seeing a tiny Snake Eyes has me quite excited. Only downside is it seems only the arms move on these guys, which I guess is fair since they are rather tiny, but disappointing nevertheless. Would have been nice to have some Dianaut sized articulated Joes though.

    I'm only interested in those Joes.

    I'm wondering what scale these are compared to a regular sized Joe figure.

    Kind of stinks that they don\'t transform, since the point of the World\'s Smallest line is that the shrunken thing is supposed to be functional. The World\'s Smallest Super Soakers do squirt. 

    Saying it is the World\'s Smallest Transformer, that doesn\'t transform, is false advertising. Plus it should be a replica of the toy, not a modified animation model.

    Still cool though.

    Man, It would be cool if they actually made Mini versions of G1 Figures instead, i mean i wonder if they need to ask Hasbro and Takara to do that. Heck, they could release those molds with their packaging and make an mini-G1 card inside said package.

    Dont... dont we already have some worlds smallest transformers that are just g1 re-decos that actually transform? Like these look fine, but they cant really be advertised as worlds smallest transformers... worlds smallest action masters maybe? That would be a neat little line, but all in i hope im not the only one who was super disappointed by this reveal after they read the headline.

    Oh man and if they are half as articulated as Diaclones (maybe more then Titanmasters less than Diaclones) I would be ecstatic.
