Actually there were several 4x4 twin lens reflexes using 127 film
over the years, including a Yashica and a "baby" Rolleiflex.  They
were made by the same companies that made 6x6 TLRs, and
AFAIK they are all defunct.  I don't believe film is made in this size 
any more by any of the major manufacturers.  (There may be some
specialty outlets spooling it themselves.)  I hate to admit it, but my
first camera was one of those 127 box cameras--a "baby Brownie"
or some such thing, made of genuine plastic.  'Course I was only 10.
