I have these loose if no-one else chimes in
thanks :lol: You are welcome to add the loose ones in the thread andy
Right, these are from the bottom of my children's 'tiny Star Wars' toy box. I bought a job lot of them years ago for my kids to play with and they have been fantastic value for money. The older two kids have outgrown toys, but my youngest still plays with them occasionally. The figures are a little bit battered but not too bad considering.
Rebels
Snowtroopers
A built army
But what's going on? Anyone would think these things are toys to be played with!spoons said:

Thanks andy for sharing the pictures of your childrens cool items, I did not know they looked like that
So are you hunting a box for them ?

The two soldiers on the left are Build Your Armies figures repainted to test for alternative toy (soldier?) lines
some more figures, wow nice figures. Are they repainted from the factory ? :?

Presumably these came in a white mailer box but I've never thought of looking for one. Think I will have to track one down now.
And unpainted factory samples are very common for micro collection. Some were taken by Kenner employees to test paint etc for other toy lines. The gold stormtrooper is also thought to be a test

I don't collect these myself, but a quick bit of Googling confirms you are correct. There's a picture of the mailer and even a link to a YouTube ad for the Build Your Armies mailer on TIG here:

wow thanks for posting some up, crazy to see that they are in much better condition than any micro collection figures i have come across, but have been played with for years! thanks also for the picture of the kids playing, the micro collection is actually bigger than i realised.!!
