This is a new term for me "(Super) Squashed" - which I reckon to be the equivalent of "Super-Deformed" BUT also utterly adorably baby-cute (litle an even squashier Pink St. with short limbs and body *giggle*). Seen @ the S.I.C Booth within Bandai's PLANET MECH Zone @ the Anime Festival Asia 2008 [tagged] was this huge series of mini-figures (approx less than 2" tall) - each standing on a base

The S.I.C. Booth @ Bandai's PLANET MECH Zone @ the Anime Festival Asia 2008 [tagged] saw a truly awesome display of articulated figures - featuring Kamen Riders, Saint Seiyas, and loads more - both production and prototypes of future releases - most notably the S.I.C.

bandai @ anime festival asia 2008 (day zero)

Day Zero @ BANDAI's PLANET MECH Arena saw the set-up of a human-sized Gundam figure greeting vistiors as they enter Suntec City Halls 403-404 for the Anime Festival Asia 2008 [tagged].
