Mike,
What about Bob? He was always my favorite of
the humans.

I did originally have him in there, but everyone I showed it to kept asking me,
“who’s that guy?” I thought Bob was cool, too. I made him with the Harry
Potter head, brown minifig male hair, the white shirt from the Han Solo figure
in the skiff set, some brown pants, and I also put the flute from the Harry
Potter Forbidden Corridor set in his hand (because, if I remember right, he was
a musician on the show, and I saw him with a flute most of all). Still, no one
but me got who he was supposed to be.

You mention that you will be displaying this for kids and would
be less likely to include characters they wouldn’t know. I think Mr. Hooper
died several years ago (I may be wrong, I remember hearing this and being sad
when I was a teenager), but he’s such an iconic character to me that I
wouldn’t reccommend removing him.
|
Yeah, I’m definitely keeping Hooper.

If you are looking to expand this, the
area off to the right where Big Bird lives would be fairly easy to build, and
a good place to include Mr. Snuffaluffagus
|
Big Bird’s little nest area was part of my original plan, but the display case
this will be going into isn’t very wide. As it is, I’m not even sure if it’ll
fit now (it’s 15 inches across at its widest). But, I figure there’s a chance
this could end up in a larger display someday, like a train layout perhaps, so I
could tack on Bird’s area, as well as build sides and backs for the building
fronts, to make it look more like a complete neighborhood.
| |
Where are you going to display this? Something like a kids’ museum or a
library? I can imagine any such venue that caters to kids would love to have
this on display.
|
Once I get the word that it’s OK, the plan is to have it in a display case at
the LEGO store near where I live. Only temporarily, but for a good amount of
time at least.

| Mike, Such a fun MOC and it evokes such great memories. I agree with others that Bert would be a good addition. What about Bob? He was always my favorite of the humans.
