These would make excellent sports uniforms/jerseys, which don't hafta be photo-
quality.. they just hafta be mascots. And using some imagination, mascot
costumes could even be made (probly using piece surgery or some other non-
purist form) from some existing animal figs, though a tiger might be currently
out of the question, unless you're into maiming Duplo ;-).
If someone wanted to make teams of pro US hockey players, the "Sharks" are
already in uniform and, IIRC, pretty much in the same team color (someone will
correct me if I'm wrong :). You could use snarly faces, and other faces with
fewer teeth. Is there a face with a black eye? Now all we need are minifig
hockey sticks.
And also, it might give new uniforms to those minifigs who've been conscripted
to a foosball table.
Hey.. new thought here ? : small foosball arena made of Lego for car travel.
