But if you get the head off, it wouldn't be too bad as a gargoyle on a
building...Or as an ornament on a bridge for a SW castle, like in the middle
ages...'Por encourage les autres' :) Now that would have looked good on the
Naboo capital !

If you can remove the head!
<TLG's plans revealed ?>
JUST REALISED...the head doesn't come off easily because TLG are using him
as a test for the mini-fig junior...head is molded as a part of the torso,
and is set facing forward. This way they can cut back even further on the
number of pieces in a model.
For those fans of earlier lego, looks like the 'stiffs' may be returning,
but with the head as a part of the torso....or WORSE, lego-land is about to
be taken over by the figs from basic in the 80's.

| (...) JarJar makes a good statue. I used the head and hands from JarJar, and the reversed torso and legs from Anakin giving an all tan idol that stands quietly in the jungle overgrowth. (...)
