Must...respond....harrypotter newsgroup...calling to me...must reply...to
Richard...must stop typing...like...Shatner...
Thanks Richard.
On the face, I did try to use only pre-existing LEGO designs, just mixed
them up a bit. The hair part is on the kid from Adventurers and the
Soccer/Aquazone dud with the headband (also a Pirate/Castle guy somewhere).
The glasses are like the doctor from Adventurers and the smile is mostly
Timmy (or was it Han Solo, I don't remember). That's the way LEGO seems to
have been doing it.
Amen on the cloaks! Capes just don't cut it.
