Silly_donkey Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 I'd like to make a mold of the big alarm clock minifigs, so I'm wondering if hair, hats or helmets are removable? And by removable, I do mean by force if necessary! I'd like a generic cast, and the mummy is the only one that comes without something on its head. Anyone have experience with removing accessories from the head of these big minifigures? Quote
HawkLord Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 As far as I know the clocks do not have removable parts. For example, the Boba Fett clock is wearing a helmet, but the helmet and head are one piece - there's no head underneath the helmet or anything. Quote
Silly_donkey Posted June 11, 2016 Author Posted June 11, 2016 That's what I was wondering. Do you know, in the case of Boba Fett, if its all molded as one piece? Quote
legoguy1984 Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 If it is for a mould of a big fig I know the construction torch fig has a removable hat, no force necessary. Quote
Silly_donkey Posted June 11, 2016 Author Posted June 11, 2016 If it is for a mould of a big fig I know the construction torch fig has a removable hat, no force necessary. I forgot about those. My search only brought up the smaller led flashlight. The led dynamo torch is a smaller size than the clocks. But I did find the lantern, which is similar to the alarm clocks. But are the lantern figs arm stuck in the up position? That might not be a problem if I can adjust them for the mould. Quote
legoguy1984 Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 Not too sure about the lantern fig. Mine is the battery construction worker. I also struggled to find info on it before I bought it though and I haven't been able to add it to brickset. Quote
HawkLord Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 That's what I was wondering. Do you know, in the case of Boba Fett, if its all molded as one piece? Yes, the head and helmet appear to be one piece. Quote
Silly_donkey Posted June 11, 2016 Author Posted June 11, 2016 I like the size of the clocks and lantern mini figures. Or maxi figure? Or mega figure? I'm not sure what to call these. The led dynamo torch is a smaller scale, at around 7.5" high. I think I might go with the lantern minifig. Anyone have a lantern? Can you take the handles out of his hands? Quote
Captain Britain Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Don't know if this would help you in any way at all with regards to potentially getting bits apart? http://imgur.com/gallery/EcMX5 Quote
Silly_donkey Posted June 15, 2016 Author Posted June 15, 2016 It definitely does. It shows how the arms on the alarm clocks are pretty much scaled up versions of minifig arms. Useful for having multiple poses. I'm on the search for some affordable clocks and lanterns. I think the clock will be a donor for arms since the lantern looks like it's arms and hands are molded in place. Quote

Silly_donkey Posted June 19, 2016 Author Posted June 19, 2016 I got my lantern figure today. Took it all apart and found out I could take the handle holder out his hands. Also popped his arms out and shaved the tabs off that keep them locked in place. So now they rotate completely! Head turns too. I'm happy with him. Quote
