Rob, my favourite line on your page:
"Modding LEGO's rendition of my LifeLites minifigs"
LMAO!! Stick it to 'em :]
That "trash-can-lid" minifig head on the TLC version is bizarre.
I can't believe they didn't make the batteries replaceable. Well, actually,
I can. But it seems especially silly for "Try Me" packaging...
I recally one of your LifeLites' versions having the saber removeable from
the hand, where the in/out of hand made it light up. To me that was the
neatest implementation and, in movie terms, the most realistic.
At the end of the day, does using the TLC version as a starting point gain
you anything, meaning, are there any useful parts or construction in them
that makes it easier to produce a LifeLites-like fig than starting from
scratch with a stock fig?

Ooh good thought. What might be even neater is if the blade itself is
removable, so that when you put the blade in, it lights up. That would be even
more movie-realistic.

I got a kick out of that when I was in the store today. It's especially funny
when you realize it says "Batteries not replaceable" and "Try Me!" almost right
together... it's like that moment when Wile E. Coyote stops after he runs off a
cliff, just before he looks down and subsequently falls.
At least the K-Mart people thought about it--they put out the boxes with the Try
Me panel facing backwards. But then, this is the K-Mart where the Lego is under
an ancient Mega Bloks banner and vice versa, so it's probably just a lucky
accident.
