Scott, I do know, that's why I hide it behind the Mouseover (nice trick, isn't it :-) ). Do you think the company with the famous name will detect it nevertheless ? Cheers Adrian (25 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Has anyone ever made the minifig head with the classic smile, eyebrows, and the curly-qued mustache? In addition to being good for the fire chief, I think it would also work for "plumbers". James J.
