Fully articulated driver figure
Posted: Wed Jan 24, 2018 8:24 pmI was visiting my great nephew and saw his collection of Mega Blox Call of Duty mini figs, I asked to borrow one to examine and he gave me a duplicate he already had. I can't remember the figure's mil- spec handle but I call him "Henri" for the bearded French wonder, Henri Pescalaro, who drove in 33 Le Mans races, winning 4 times.
These minifigs are 2.15 in tall, or about 5' 9" scaled up to full size in 1/32 scale. The arms are jointed at the shoulders, elbows, and wrists. The lower body is jointed at the waist, hips, and knees. These little guys are like Ulrich mini men, but nearly fully assembled amd painted. I just need to paint on a proper driver suit and take Henri up to the local Lego store to see if a modern Lego minifig spaceman/racing driver helmet with visor will fit and look right. Perhaps I'll try my hand at the Pescalaro driven 935 used in the failed bicycle world speed record attempt.
I really like the arm articulation and may try the old hands on the steering wheel connected to the front steering gag.
