valkyries!?!? forgive my laughter! haw!haw! i'm picturing a horned moo-men
helmet stuck on top of her hair-do!
my plans are more along the lines of "something"! i would be a bit more
pleased if the millimys were oposeable. they're pretty enough, and the fact
that each set has a different one makes you want to collect them.
one of my #5801 pale yellow millimys is going to be decapitated by an
angry mob of mini-figs. i then plan to cut the hair off, hollow out the
bottom (dremel) and make a boufont mini-fig wig! (i am infamously manic
about wanting tlc to produce this element!)
i guess you could always use the millimys for the girls of the b-52's, or
the doo-wop girls in "little shop of horrors"!
having a little fit of millimy madness...it'll pass..
later ~ craig~
