I know what you mean. I find the Throwbots a bit like a fungus. At first they
look disgusting, but if you give them a chance they'll grow on you. :)

I agree, the Throwbot arm is pretty useless, but I find the Throwbots just
infatuating because their playability is incredible. They are extremely
flexable and posable, and hold a position very well. I've been doing some
stop-motion animation with some Throwbots recently and the results have been
simply amazing (despite the huge handicap that their feet don't attach to a
baseplate).

The first thing I did with the Throwbots was to buy a zillion 1x1 circular plates ("dots"). If you put a 1x1 dot in the three holes at the bottom of a throwbot foot, they stay on baseplates pretty well. -gyug In lugnet.general, Thomas Foote writes: (...)
