Crap, I been found out. :-) Yeah, that’s the only thing that bugs me about
my “style” when I work in this size range. I’ve found the best alternative
is to (follow me here), turn the 1x1 tile w/ clip sideways, stick a headlight
brick on, and attach the 1x2 plate w/ 1 stud to that. Then it has effective
hip rotation, but that sends the legs about 2 studs farther apart, so they
look “stuck on the side” of the torso, rather than the more human way our
pelvis acts. And it’s a look I don’t like, so I find the compromise
acceptable. But I know what you mean, it does ruin some of the majesty of
the creation. By all means, reverse engineer and go to town. If you find a
great way to do it, I’d be glad to steal it. :-)
