Details:
Micro Kaiju were produced by the Japanese vinyl kaiju toy company, Gargamel in collaboration with a number of venerable artists. Of all the toy lines I've covered here at MXD, this has been the hardest for which to gather information. This may be due to the largely Japanese distribution of these figures.
I believe all of the characters represented in Micro Kaiju sculpts have been sculpted at larger scales. In fact, I believe each character first debuted in a larger form before appearing in the Micro Kaiju line at the 1.5" scale. Somewhat confusingly, many of these characters have been sculpted at an additional small scale called "pocket." This mini figure scale is slightly larger than the Micro scale. (I believe the Pocket Kaiju scale is 2.5-3".)
