Anyone have any info on these little guys as they're really cool looking, I haven't found much info at all but from what I can gather they're somehow related to SD Gundam. Anyone have any for sale/trade?

I found a passing reference to them on ToyBoxDX thanks to Google, but the link to a pic (whatever it was, maybe manga art or a cover) no longer works.

"I wish I knew what the hell this was supposed to be"

TAMAROID SUPER-C GUNDAM! It's a 1992 comic book series by the same guy who did "Pla-Wres Sanshiro." There's a whole mess o' Gundam characters done in the style.

These things are freaking sweet! Their apparently just another jump off toyline for gundam. SD Gundams were big in the late 80's and early 90's, and the keshi Gomu SD figs were a big hit then as well, so in similarity to the micro Kinkeshis that branched from the Kinnikuman Kinkeshi line, this appears to be a more extreme result for SD Gundam. I think they are way cooler than the basic SD's though. I'd like to get a box full of them. That's the cool thing about Gundam stuff. You can have as many doubles as you want cause they are machines, and we know that machines aren't one of a kind.

These things are tiny! It's apparent that these figs aren't exactly on the top of Gundam collectors lists. They seem to be uncommon probably due to people not knowing exactly what they are. I bet these things are scattered around on Yahoo JP in tons of keshi auctions. Although this really is the first time I have seen them, or noticed them. They may actually be rare. Look like they came out around the height of the V Gundam series.

I kept thinking and thinking of the best way to aproach the same kind of punchline, but I just couldnt come up with one. Good job!
