As the title says, I'm wanting some suggestions for good tiny action figures of people to go with Studio Series scale Transformers figures. Not sure exactly what scale they would be number-wise, I more go by what looks good with the cars and trucks from the line.
Probably wouldn't be in scale...but I would love to see Mega Construx Skeletor riding next to Igor on DOTM Megs....Man-at-Arms on Ironhide...Teela and VW BB...
I think you're right. I thought Man-at-Arms would be cartoonishly huge...then I stood him next to Ironhide and was pleasantly surprised. It wouldn't work as well for all of the SS bots (in alt mode anyway) but it kinda works for these two.
I’d definitely say Lego or Mega-bloks work the best. I use them alongside my WFC:S figures and they work perfectly
Mega Construx works well. It also works reasonably well for CHUG, particularly those with cockpits like Siege Jetfire and TR figures. It's a little too small for MPs and a little too big for CHUG in alt mode. Technically, by cartoon scale, humans should be around 1.8 inches for CHUG figures in robot mode but 2 inch works okay and should be about 1.4 inches in vehicle mode but 2 inches still works okay. The ideal scale for SS movie stuff is generally around 1.5 inches. 2 inch people like Mega Construx scale out to about 8 feet tall. For MPs, the cartoon scale should be around 2.5 inches for vehicle mode (and movie MP characters in all modes) and around 3 inches for robot mode. Additionally, the upcoming World's Smallest G.I.Joe with Duke and Snake Eyes appear to be 2 inch figures. No leg articulation but made to look like 80s action figures, downscaled. Micro Machines figures tend to be a bit under an inch. Scale with TFs varies. Additionally, clearance creates weird issues as some figures have no clearance and some figures have too much. The MP-10 associated human figures are smaller than they should be (about 1 inch) so they can fit easier in cockpits wth other moving parts. Exosuit Daniel (sold as Spike in the US, with Bumblebee) is probably about in scale with CHUG. The new MP-44 humans look to be around 2 inches. Meanwhile, a lot of CHUG figures have oversized cockpits/interior space for figure clearance. Human Alliance movie figures are about 3 inches. They're probably about right for cartoon MPs in robot mode. With all of these, you're talking fractions of an inch in most cases. You can fudge it at a distance. Human Alliance figures are too big for anything but cartoon MPs. The MP 10 humans and Micro Machines are too small for most things, the adults being roughly the size young children should be. For all else, anything 1.5 to 2 inches and consistent is PRETTY CLOSE.
