CopMike Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Interesting, somebody has canned a printed tile! Who can have done that? Yes, you guessed it, it´s of course one more minifig: Setnumber: 8683 Minifig number&name: #8 The Crash Test Dummy Numbers of different minifigs in series 1: 16 Parts in this bag: 6 Price: probably around US $1.99 per bag Release: June 2010 All the parts. Nice printing with the test dummy rounded square ! No printing on the back. Parts put together - ready for mayhem ! But what´s up with the wrench, is he going to mend himself after a frontal? Now I´ll take this car for a spin, boy am I gonna put the peddle to the meddle Do you hear the engine roar?! Stop in the name of the law!! You´re not going one inch futher in that tin can! That trip ended in a bang ! But I´m in one piece - I must be made of TLG standard ABS ! I like this minifig, it opens up a lot of options for dorky Moc´s !! Quote
Rick Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Very entertaining story CopMike. I'm sure this fig will cause quite a bit of havoc in many town displays. Not too much to comment on, besides the nice printing... Quote
WhiteFang Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Another nice review! Not too much to comment on, besides the nice printing... I agreed, but this Crash Dummy reminds me of some bio-hazard dude instead. Quote
Holodoc Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Oh, you again! Nice pictures of the CTD. The only bad thing is the oh so common wheel wrench. Here something new would definitely have been better. And some side printings would have been nice. But all in all another "must have" on my list. Quote
WhiteFang Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 But all in all another "must have" on my list. All for the purpose of completion! Quote
ProducePrincess Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 How do you keep getting these minifigs, is there a store that sells them near you? The wrench i have to agree is a pretty lame choice for an accessory but what could they have used instead? Quote
Rick Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 How do you keep getting these minifigs, is there a store that sells them near you? I think the answer to that question can be found by finding the similarity between CopMike and ZeeK... Quote

the Inventor Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 A nice figure, but not as specials as the others, although I like the printing. The wrench i have to agree is a pretty lame choice for an accessory but what could they have used instead? Well a steering wheel. the Inventor Quote
Mr. Elijah Timms Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I gotta say, of all the figs in Wave 1, this is the one I am least interested in. Of course, that probably means I'll end up getting about 7 in my quest for the ones I really covet! CopMike-- you certainly revealed early on that you wanted a cheerleader. Any of the others really stand out as a favorite to you?? Quote
ZeeK Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Great review! Adding more action with the 3177 set is brilliant!!! I wish I had the opportunity to build the minifig-scaled version of the EURONCAP test facility... However, we'd need the short-leg version of the dummy too... Many thanks, CopMike! P.S. Does ANYONE know what is the plate printing "PA7 70" means? Quote

I think the answer to that question can be found by finding the similarity between CopMike and ZeeK... We´re both good looking, strong, smart & rich ? Then how come I haven't got any? Thanks for the fun review! How stupid of the crash dummy to go on the roads when CopMike was on patrol, that can only end bad Quote
Big Cam Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 LOL I love it, boy I can't wait to get my hands on all of these. It seems there will be none left to review with the ambassadors having all the fun. Quote
not-in-use-anymore Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Cool fig, but I don't like the yellow, it makes him look naked.(maybe tan would work better) The lines at the side of the mouth don't make it look fake enough. Quote
Rufus Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Great story, CopMike! I like this figure - very original, and shows a bit of lateral thinking on TLG's part. Though I agree with The Inventor - a steering wheel would have been better than the wrench! Quote
gunm Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Nice! Each review I get more anxious for June to arrive. Quote
Pyramid Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Awesome little story! How are you getting these so early? Do you work for TLG? Quote
ACCURATEin Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 oh awesome~! i'm definitely getting this guy. I'm ready to see some slow motion LEGO test crashes. Quote
Vexxion Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 This is one of those sets I would love to get. But isn't really useful. Nice Review. Can't wait till they come out! Quote
prateek Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Nice! This one's up there on my list. I'd love to put him in cars and smash them up Quote
Grimmy Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 What an awesome figure! I'll be getting this one for sure when it comes out. I love your previews CopMike. The funny comic strip way of showing them is really fun Quote
Delta 38 Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Well, this minifig I won't be too disappointed at the lack of back printing. Fine to me. This will prove to be a useful minifigure to use as a test subject. I now need to build a giant machine... Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks again to you 'CopMike' for another minifig review. He's not that bad, perfect for anyone who collects racers gear eh ? Perfect to test crash your Lego vehicles - are very own 'Buster' (Mythbusters) ! A spare spanner/screwdriver is always handy to have around I guess ? I'm a conformist! ! P.S. Which one's next eh ? Quote
Carbohydrates Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 (edited) He comes with a giant wrench? Ahahaha, that's absolutely perfect. Somebody at TLG is a fan of terrible survival horror games. edit to explain: There's a really, really bad survival horror game called Illbleed for the Sega Dreamcast. Its 'mascot' is a crash test dummy wielding an oversized wrench. Edited March 26, 2010 by Carbohydrates Quote
Admiral William Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 That's a cool minifig. I love it, but yeah, the wrench is pretty lame though... Quote
