Does anyone have any of these? They look real slick, and in comparison size wise to 'tix, they must be pretty close? |

What the heck are those exactly? They look very compatible to Attacktix. ;D

They are Japanese chimasuta, or "mini statue". Just little figures that sometimes come blind packaged and unassembled. Also occasionally called "one coin" figures because they sometimes come from those wacky Japanese vending machines (you know, the kind you can get underwear, an iPod & soup from.... at the same time).
Probably the inspiration for American creations like the Marvel Build-A-Figures.

Like the Figure Factory figs then... Yeah...so it looks like I will be buying some of these.  The Black Cat one is slick...hmmm, I wonder is that would work on a "flick flight" dc base? |

The one thing to be cautious about is that according to the sizes provided on the majority of the figures from that seller is that they're about 4" tall (10 cm, by the seller's listing). Thus, I'm not sure I'd consider these comparable in size to Attacktix.

I saw that too...but I'm wondering also...each is on a base of some kind...so the actual figure height may be closer to the magic "3 inch" scale...I guess I'll have to order one to know for sure. |

Psylocke looks as though all she needs is her arm replaced with a force blasters. Put her on a tix base and WAH-LAH! Black Cat and Emma look to be busting out a little and Elektra needs to use a little discretion.  I like the Cyclops one as well. I've never seen him dressed like that before. Hulk just looks bad arse! That would make for an amazingly great Attacktix. With that wall in front of him, he could be virtually impossible to knock down with a projectile. Lot's of great choices. |

I've looked at these online quite extensively too, especially Black Cat. I've resisted, partly because of cost (I've spent too much money already) and partly because I'm pipe dreaming that Hasbro will make her, but they should make great Tix. I can tell you that the other Gashapon figures I've invested in (for my Super Secret complete line of over 30 customs ) are perfectly sized. Especially for this particular genre in which many of the characters are depicted much larger than others anyway. Even the larger ones are turning out great. And some of them are in flying type poses, so after seeing your Supes demo, Webhead, I'm stoked to try different figs on it like you suggest. And the plastic they are made out of is comparable to Tix. Unlike the He-Man mini figs which are a pain in the arse. |

Oh, when I inquired about Blackcat, I was told the figure itself is less than 4 inches because of her crouch position and the base adds to the height. Go for it! I myself wouldn't pay $16.95, I've seen it for quite a bit less. |
