I was putting together a 4811 defense archer, and the thought hit me...

why, if the archer has a quiver, is his head affixed to his body???

to me it would be easier to have his head seperate so you could "assemble"
him quicker...

I am pretty sure that minifig heads are placed onto minifig torsos by
machine during production.  You will see on all minifig 'necks' a distinct
black marking indicating the front of the minifig that the machine sensors
can 'read.'  That way, the face is always put on facing front.
So, regardless of whether a completed minifig will be fitted with an arrow
quiver, cape, air tanks, or whatever, they will have the head attached before
being packaged.

Removing heads to put on quivers is not an issue with me.  But I do take issue
with minifig hands.  Seems I always have to turn the hand to the correct
position with the flat, thumb side up.  I guess that minfig hands are simply
inserted any old random way.  Maybe most kids don't care that their minifig's
hands are upside down???

hmmm....that is annoying, especially when you want to affix a certain
accessory on said minifig....
very annoying.
yes...very irksome!!! :<
