Posted February 9, 20241 yr I had set 6055 "Prisoner Convoy" as a kid and still have it today. One of my all time favourite minifgs is the "prisoner" aka the peasant. His torso is a classic beauty. In set 10305 "Lion Knights' Castle" a modern version of this torso was introduced. Its sand green colour is a perfect update of the classic light gray. I took this modern torso and made a modern version of the peasant of set 6055. I think it turned out great. What do you think? Edited June 28, 2024Jun 28 by The Reader
February 9, 20241 yr Very nice. I have one of those torsos on the way from PAB. Looking forward to seeing it!
February 9, 20241 yr I think it needs a modern head. The simple smiley looks strange on a more detailed torso.

And I think the torso is still plain enough to fit with the smiley. 😀
February 10, 20241 yr I think the red shorts look better on the old peasant than on the new ones. Maybe a dark red looks better now?

February 11, 20241 yr It looks great. I'd be so happy if modern minifigs would use classic smiley heads just like your minifig. Less is more when it comes to minifigs.
February 11, 20241 yr The plain smiley always wins... but I agree with others about the colours here. The sand green doesn't go nicely with the red & blue. If the legs were brown or dark red it would be fine.
June 28, 2024Jun 28 Author Well, here is a third, more modern guy - no classic smiley, but dark red pants:
July 14, 2024Jul 14 I like the second one (and have done something similar myself). The sand green torso may not go great with red legs but then I don’t think the grey one does either!
