GunwitchUK Posted February 12, 2016 Just had an email from Brickforge regarding a new(?) minifigure design. Modular bodies with different hands and swivel torsos https://www.brickforge.com/blog/altered-ego-component-diagram/ Look quite interesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kurigan Posted February 12, 2016 That's all really, very impressive. Some clever design work, to be sure. I do wonder though about stability. For instance; will that extra joint make the arms any more difficult to change then they already are? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmperZand Posted February 12, 2016 Very interesting, but rotating a rectangular torso over rectangular hips doesn't look very good. Kre-o minifigs rotate that way and it leaves an overhanging torso and an exposed hip which is ugly. It appears that the arm can rotate at the elbow which would be useful, but not as much as lateral rotation at the shoulder allowing minifigs to raise their arms sideways. The "Altered [L]EGO" (my addition) name is cute! Kudos to BF for coming up with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Gidman Posted February 12, 2016 Very interesting indeed. Those arms would make posing a whole lot easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wardancer Posted February 12, 2016 I think the arms cannot move more than normal ones. They just simulate overmoulding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
