Hey again all, I had a thought and I'm sure we all have used them as kids now maybe we can use them for our customs too. The Lego Minifigure hand is able to hold only certain items so it's always a surprise to find out non-Lego items that fit in their hands like a real element. One of my favorite things to do when I needed a sword for one of my Guys and only had a few element accessory as a kid was to use small pop rivets. The tip fit perfectly into the hand of a minifigure and the shaft that would be used to set the rivet in place after using the proper tool and it even had a small part that looked like a pommel. My dad had tones on the things and so I never had a time without a sword. Now after seeing the Lego movie and seeing the joke they did with Vitruvius' Staff after the time skip being a partly eaten Dum-dum lollipop it got me to wondering about what else is in the right size. Once I decided to start in the custom minifigure game I realized these could be used to make custom accessories that properly fit in their hands and not sacrifice any element (A major thing I'm not for is using nail polish remover or Brasso to erase a face or decal on a torso.). Cause lets face it some pieces will only be made by Lego for so long and if we destroy them well they will get rare. So I thought we could make a list of items that could work as bases. Anyone else have any thoughts or stories?
