* [[Medabots]]. Full-powered combat robots... in a three-foot tall package (well, except for that one that Ikki disabled in one episode, that qualified as a [[Humongous Mecha]]). Did I mention that Medabots are kid's toys?

* Many [[Fanfic|fanfics]] have included the grimdark models used in tabletop versions of ''[[Warhammer 40000|Warhammer 40,000]]'' to come to life or appear in our world as the size of their tabletop counterparts, such as [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5474237/1/40k_ToyHammer this one].
