Funny.

Although there are many techniques to achieve this effect.

[prateek]

its very funny how did you make those 1x1 round plates support such a heavy minifigure?

[-JD-]

Very good. The dewback looks like its trying to break dance!

Greetings,

[DarthPineapple]

Thanks everyone!

What do you mean? The clear 1x1 plates?well they just hold on, the fig isn't that heavy.

[TenorPenny]

A Dewback working for the Rebellion! I like it.

[Ratshot]

That is what I thought too I really like it.

ok because all of my fig feet and 1x1 stud pieces are loose

Are you using the trans 1x1 round plates?

They're made from a different plastic than the regular colours and they're much harder to connect and take apart.

Which should allow a construction such as this to work almost 99% of the time.

(I know this because I've been pestering all the official LEGO Reps I've ever met to make a trans-clear minifig for the masses, but it's not doable because of the harder plastic mix used for trans colours ).

Great MOC, made me laugh. I never really understood that whole thing about why certain colours of bricks are more liable to lose grip after a while, and why some grip better than others right off the assembly line.

[HumanPackMule]

I wonder if the dewback knows this guy.

They're made of polycarbonate instead of ABS.

It's not the moulding process that's the problem, but the robot that assembles the arms/torsos and legs/waists. Polycarbonate plastic is more brittle and would be less forgiving to the pressure used to insert the limbs into the body pieces.

Yes exactly.

Thanks for that perfect explanation that escaped me.

You sound exactly like the factory worker that eplained this to me at some point in Billund.

[Millacol88]

So I guess we'll never see a "ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi" Minifig.

Nope

Not until they solve the problem

umm, yes

[LEGOscum]

It's because I am a LEGO assembly robot.

Good point...
