[Mechaton] New Lego Microfigs

Lego is supposed to be releasing some boardgames in the near future. One of the parts for the game is something that looks like a microfig. Take a look at a couple of articles about them,
here
and
here
.
Now does anyone else think that those microfigs would make good "people" for Mechaton?

Awesome! They look to be six plates high. The micro figs in my games are: Soldiers-5-plates, and Civilians-4-plates.
These will make great "Hero" or "officer" figs.

We've been playing with 7- or 8-plate tall microfigs, and I've come to really prefer them that big. Round plate 1x1 for the head, brick 1x1 for the torso, round brick 1x1 for the legs; or else round brick 1x1 for the torso and cone 1x1 for the legs. Sometimes we give them belts and/or hats.
You can even use a headlight brick, a 1x1 technic brick, or a brick with studs on 2 sides for the torso, with a couple of horizontal clip plates for arms. We do that for soldiers: civilians get no arms, soldiers get arms.

More pictures of the new microfigs over on the Brothers Brick.
http://www.brothers-brick.com/2009/03/03/minifig-microfig/
The new microfigs look like shrunken versions of the old minifig bodies. Each section looks to be about two plates tall, and the head looks like a 1x1 fat round brick.
Oh, did I forget to mention at least one game is designed by Reiner Knizia? :-)
