Thank you Selçuk! It is nice to hear someone just say the word Fabuland...
3 weeks or more since it has come up and even better to hear it get credit
for the origin of an element. [especially one described as *exotic* and
*weird*. Two very high compliments in my book even if they weren't meant as
such. :-) Thank you Steve!]
They might look weird in some nonFabuland sets because of the proportions,
particularly the diameter of the pipe in relation to the standard
minifigure. The Fabuland Figure is more wide bodied and thus the vehicles
are also. The curves of the exhaust fits the Fabuland style. It should.
shouldn't it? It was designed for it...
These exhaust pipes are in yellow in <set:3625> and in red in <set:3671>.
