At least in Japan, those are called Kubricks. They have TONS of different kinds, including Disney sets…

They are very awesome to say the least, I got a set from the Japan store at Epcot.

Those, at least in Japan, are called Kubricks. Do a search for Kubricks, Disney and you get a TON of Disney sets in those figures, even Nightmare Before Christmas ones. ;)
I know I got a pack in the Japan store at Epcot, might want to check to see if they have any more.

Very cool. I can’t wait to get these. I have almost all of the Marvel Minimates. I hope these are in the same scale as them. Some of the Minimates are larger than others. The Star Trek ones are larger, although I hear they may make new Star Trek ones in the smaller size.
I wonder if they will sell these at the Back to The Future store at Universal. It probably depends if they come out before the store changes into a Simpsons store - which will be cool also.
I have a couple of Star Wars Kubricks and they are a bit larger and different looking than the Minimates.
A cool site for Minimate news is http://www.minimatescentral.com

Sorry, but you made a mistake. If you look closer, that is dr. emmet brown, the inventor of the flux capacitor time macine, not George McFly, Marty’s father, although that is his mother.

I didn’t make the mistake… action-figure.com did. But you’re right, it is a mistake.
