natelite Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=EL136 Interesting new concept! could have been even better. it's a great potential product but TLC has to spoil it by making the minifig non-removable. If only it was removable and come in different pattern. imagine a parachuting special police task force, or a parachuting search and rescue specialist. right now it's just digger and in camo gear. :-P
Kikuichimonji Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 I think this has been available for a while. At least I saw pictures of it a couple of months ago.

Jipay Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 I don't think it has been discussed on EB yet... Seems like a rather interesting concept. I remember that whne I was a kid, I parachuted a lot of minifigs with plastic bags from the top fo the house to the ground. God bless lego for making their minifigs resistant !
xenologer Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 From the photo, it looks like it's basically a Keychain minifig with a parachute instead of chain. You could probably reattach it to any other keychain fig if you wanted... or maybe modify a minifig backpack to tie it to that instead...
captaintau Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Looks fun. The parachute coming out of the figure's head rather than backback does of reduce its realism somewhat. Should be detachable.
Kikuichimonji Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 oh... excuse me for being slow then. ;-) i thought since no one posted about it that it was new. Heh, didn't mean to sound rude. I thought I saw it here, but apparently it was another site. ah well :-)
