Here is an interesting point. It appears that the helmet has the 3 holes for the plumes like the modren visor. yet there are no plumes in it[1]. Why take the time to make a custom piece, just for a lego movie, and add features that you are not going (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

But.... A woodchuck doesn't have opposable thumbs, so it can't chuck anything. Also, the bulkiness of wood, given that it doesn't come in small pieces like dirt, could prevent it being actively chucked. Rolled maybe, presuming woodchucks have the (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)
