I find it disappointing that we never saw a court jester minifig. I've got an
idea for one, though, and I was wondering if any of you had your own jester
ideas.
For the head I used one of the white-faced Islanders with red cheeks. But the
most important part is the hat! I used a black 1x1 brick with studs on all
four sides (plus the top, of course). Then I attached one of those small,
floppy switch/lever/antenna pieces (all white) to each of the four side studs.

commonly recognized name or not.) It's not as good as a real hat piece would
have been, but it's pretty convincing. The little nubs on the ends of the
antennae work well as the bells that are always on the ends of those floppy
hats. I'm not sure what torso to use for the jester, though.
Any thoughts?
