Are these the same as the Ulrich Mini-men, just repackaged for auto world?

It looks like they are the same. I only have original 1/32 scale Mini-Men that are still in the package, but they were packed with one tree (two mini-men) on the card. The Auto World package shown has two trees (four mini-men).

I just bought 2 sets on e-Bay. Thanks for the heads-up! I remember these little guys from my youth also and now they're back!

OK, since this is settled now, we need Ulrike the Mini-woman.

The surfer is simplified; it's a three piece figure. The only separate parts are the arms. With those, you get one surfer, and two boards, two pieces each (surfboard fin is separate).

I'm guessing the Surfers have been OOP for a long time, since the Mini-Men were put back into production not too long ago after a long absence?

I don't think the surfer figures were around long originally. It would be interesting to know if a reissue on that one would be possible...

Great job on that Mini-Man Randy. I still have a pair of them from back in the day, probably from Auto World.
