Power Miners Piece Uses

[Skinny Boy]

I was going to post this in The Trains and Towns forums (to announce my triumphant return to that theme!), but since it involves figs, I thought it better to post here.

After picking up 8958 Granite Grinder a few days ago, my plan was to turn it into a forklift. But then I thought I should also make the most of the fig. I actually didn't take a pic of the original miner, so see here.

Now then, onto the figs. First up: A Punk (kid?) with a trouser chain:

Although i'm not the first to use that idea.

Next, a Thug, sporting a mean Belt Buckle:

Could be used for thugs, bounty hunters, any mean, lean dudes

This one uses the face, and the other leg. A reasoning security guard:

The leg, simply a torch. The face, well, though the grey is meant to be dirt, it looks odd on a normal fig, so now its hair.

And finally, all three:

"Look, fellas... we can work this out. Just take whatever you want... except my torch. I just got it."

Thanks for looking!

nice figs skinny boy i like the thug the most but the other ones are good to

I love all three! Perfect use for it! Even though I hate the kid's face (I have to of theme and there at the bottom of my minifig basket!) Really good idea, but I still think the flashlight should remain a flashlight. It doesn't look likea torch. Unless they're the same thing in some weird way...

They are the same thing.

The name flashlight is used mainly in the United States and Canada. In other English-speaking countries, the more common term is torch or electric torch.

Great job! I like the way you mixed the torsos around! Besides that the last picture is very funny!

Indeed it is! It's a darn useful piece - bayonet, shiv, and stiletto knife all in one!
