(...) I have heard that you found a use for those Timmy figures and they do fit the profile of a girl but I personally do not see what is so irritatiing about Timmy the LEGO figure. I may see why Jar Jar Binks is annoying but not Timmy. I will (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jul-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) I've had good luck removing Timmy freckles and some microphones using a solvent and a toothpick. You have to be slow and patient, and it may not be as efficient as an exacto, but it works. I don't try to remove microphones if they overlap the (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) The answer is both and more. I spoke with one of the LEGO representatives attending Brickfest and the truth is, the LEGO element designers found a way to keep it from being a choking hazard while consequently making it easier to remove helmets (...)

(...) I second that. erasers give a far better result and you loose less of the shiny finish. the ink erasers that have rubber instead of lead in a pencil are good cos you can sharpen them to keep the point (not sure if that is what you mean by (...)

(...) I have always thought that it was to negate vacuum between the head and the post on the torso, making it easier to remove the head. Although, the choking thing sounds somewhat reasonable too. I wonder what the real answer is? Matt (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.minifigs)

While these are attractive, you could just send those Timmies to me. I LIKE Timmy, along with the whole TimeCruisers theme. (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jul-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) Be warned: It is highly addictive. I've committed myself to keeping one unmodified head of each sort, but have spent a lot of time subtly (and not so subtly) modifying faces. Some more useful ones (no pics yet): Barron von Barron (trim the (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jul-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

If you don't trust yourself with a regular pencil eraser, art supply stores can have various kinds that are somewhat smaller and pointed. -Tom (...)

(...) These are pretty clever and quite simple too. If I had the heart to take an exacto to my Lego, I'd seriously consider some of these (especially scraping those darn microphones off all the minifig heads!) Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (23 years ago, 12-Jul-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
