Story and art by Marty LeGrow.

In a world where the hottest kid's toys are based on real people, a ragtag class of students must prove they're the best toys for the job, competing against friends and enemies at Dollington Academy to achieve action figure fame... all while being just 6 inches tall. Humans have always been a fact of life for most bittles, but not for Minky, who comes from the sea! When the other students try to introduce her to the world of human junk, she doesn't feel very at home. Only a secret scheme among the other students can make things right...unless they get eaten by squirrels first!
