Hello dear fellows!

Were you ever in the need of a quick Admiral Ackbar minifigure for a diorama snapshot? I would like to present you an easy and cheap way for constructing a recognizable Admiral Ackbar minifigure.

Of course, as always, no saw, glue or paint is used or needed.

The clue piece is one of the new clicky hinge pieces, which is in many sets these days. You can see an image of it here: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30396

Not sure if it fit on the standard minifig torso stud, I ordered one, and it really worked! With the addition of 4 small pieces a nice Admiral Ackbar turned out with the typical Mon Calamari head shape.

Click the image below:

Thanks for stepping by.

Have a great week!

Christopher

(...) This is a pretty awesome Mon Calamari head. Admiral Ackbar was one of my childhood favorite, and I'm glad to see it done well. Now I'm off to build my own. -Dan Rubin (18 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

(...) Beauty of the simplicity. It exactly feels like the real thing. Very nicely done. Selçuk (18 years ago, 6-Dec-06, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

Very nice! The head also brings to mind Terry (or is it Pterry?) from the old Pee Wee Herman show... (18 years ago, 6-Dec-06, to lugnet.starwars)
