Posted August 29, 2024Aug 29 When I saw Mrs. Flume's medium lavender legs with apron (from set 76388 Hogsmeade Village Visit) I wanted to test if they are useful for some kind of jungle warriors. I bought matching torsos and heads on BL and violà - here are my jungle warriors: As always - critics and comments are very welcome!
September 3, 2024Sep 3 It is always hard to create some variety between minfigs in such a specific setting and with limited parts, but you managed to create a fabulous group of jungle warriors! Very nice
September 3, 2024Sep 3 These are really cool! Do you mind if I ask where you got the torsos and heads from? I don't recognise them. Also, do you have any plans on where you want to use them? They seem like evil spirits as a counterpart to "good" jungle dwellers.
September 3, 2024Sep 3 Nice work creating these warriors from a HP set. They look good and you can't tell the original source without really having to know the material.

Yes, I want to build a MOC for them but I have no plans/ideas yet. Edited September 5, 2024Sep 5 by The Reader
September 5, 2024Sep 5 That's some clever re-utilising of some of those parts. Rather insipiring actually, I'll have to think of this next time I feel like doing a figbarf!

Rather insipiring actually, I'll have to think of this next time I feel like doing a figbarf! Thank you very much. Actually it took me about two years to develop the idea, collect the parts and achieve the (IMHO) best result. It was a long, but very interesting way. BTW, I found a mistake in my above list - the 2nd minifig from letf has this head: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3626cpb2816&C=157#T=S&C=157&O={"color":157,"iconly":0} (it's a very similar face) This is another "jungle tribe" I did using Monkie Kid legs:
September 9, 2024Sep 9 Another fantastic tribe using an interesting set of legs as the starting point.
September 10, 2024Sep 10 Author @Feuer Zug Thank you! Monkie Kid definitely has very interesting minifig parts. Edited September 10, 2024Sep 10 by The Reader
