heya jeremiah!
this is really a cool little ditty! but i have to admit, while the legs look
good, and they are technically 'lego' they don't really look right compared
with the rest of the body. i mean the body is yer typical lego 'blocky' and
the legs are this nicely smooth crafted pieces...
but don't get me wrong.. this is very good.. and the head is just straight
out cool! the head alone is worth a post!
i'm also glad to see that galidor pieces can be incorporated into a normal
lego MOC. that's how i measure how 'lego' something is or isn't. if people
can use to make their own creations, then yes.. it is lego. if they can't,
then nope.. it's plastic trash.
[end rant] again, great creation. excellent idea for a head, especially!
peace

| (...) Hey, thanks. I fully agree on the legs looking out of place, but I just haven't ben able to build anything that looks remotely good while still being poseable.
