Thank you for all the information on the Lego desk pals. It is impossible
to tell from the pictures any of the critical data.
I am still intrigued by them. Certainly, one of these is as close to a
"big" minifigure as I might ever get. The hands do sound problematic.
[hmmmm, i wonder if someone good with a dremel could rectify the situation.]
Would the Desk Pal be the right size for a child for the giant store display
minifigures?
A picture of the real thing from either you or Maggie C. would be most
appreciated.
