AmperZand Posted July 30, 2015 Absolutely great project on Kickstarter for right angle and out-to-the-side minifig arms: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crazybricks/crazy-arms-for-your-miniature-brick-figures I can't believe no one has come up with this before. I've long desired to have archers holding their bows and arrows in the classic archery stance. LEGO minifig arms don't permit you to do that. In the interest of full disclosure, I have backed the project but am not otherwise connect to Crazy Bricks, the company behind the project. Apologies if this has already been posted on EB.

Krikkit Posted July 30, 2015 You need, Dark Green, Dark Red(crimson), and Pinky Purple for our super archers! Green and red arrows plus hawkeye (custom) Or rather, they need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wardancer Posted July 31, 2015 It looks very good! What is a but strange are the little gaps between the arms and the torso which show sometimes. They even show in the video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmperZand Posted July 31, 2015 It looks very good! What is a but strange are the little gaps between the arms and the torso which show sometimes. They even show in the video. That seems more true of the right angle arm than the straight out one. I suspect that's because they use the same internal structure as shown in the video. If you lowered the internal support element a fraction for the right angle arm, you would change the angle of the shoulder's connection which should allow it to sit completely flush against the side of the torso. Shaving the internal element should be pretty straightforward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fred67 Posted August 1, 2015 Thanks for posting this. Occasionally I search for LEGO on kickstarter, but I didn't see this. Backed... Will be nice to have proper archers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmperZand Posted August 2, 2015 Thanks for posting this. Occasionally I search for LEGO on kickstarter, but I didn't see this. It hasn't been well publicised which is a shame because it's a great idea. I only came across it by chance. At the time of writing, it needs to get at least 70 more backers in the next 54 hours. I really hope it makes it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpiderSpaceman Posted August 2, 2015 You need, Dark Green, Dark Red(crimson), and Pinky Purple for our super archers! Green and red arrows plus hawkeye (custom) Or rather, they need. See I saw about this project weeks back and thought "doesn't do me any good if there isn't a dark green" and I wasn't even thinking Green Arrow - I was thinking Eeeexcellent.

Wardancer Posted August 4, 2015 Dark green arms will enable elf archers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Magma Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Awesome, glad to see this project has made it. I would definitely love to have some of these! Dark brown, reddish brown, dark tan and black would be great colors to add. I would really like those, at least, though I don't know which ones you already have right now, but those would be useful for a plethora of different minifigures and aren't overly specific. Medium flesh (or whatever the color of the LEGO Tonto minifigure's arms may be) would be nice for Indians. Edited August 4, 2015 by General Magma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Gareth Posted August 4, 2015 Don't forget blue for Spider-Man! How else is he gonna stop a train? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fred67 Posted August 5, 2015 I did $30, so I think I get six pairs... I don't know which colors to get.... LOTR Elves? CMF Elves? (I have a small army of those, so it seems better).... tough decisions. Since we have four+ months to go anyway, hoping we can buy a large variety online afterwards.

Wardancer Posted August 12, 2015 Somewhere I read that there will be a third type of crazy arms. Does someone know anything about it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
