Help needed: my custom beards

Post by Red Bean »

Hi guys,

I'm close to producing my next batch of custom accessories and I need your opinions. Namely: what colour should I produce my beards in? To save me time from gathering opinions from different forums, I'm conducting a poll at the following centralised location. Please kindly give me your input. Thank you very much.

It doesn't let me vote...or do you have to be a user?

Also can you put helmets on minifigs with the beards on?

This is an excellent question. If the answer is yes, then it really doesn't matter what color you produce them in. If not, then it would be best to stick to colors that match existing hairpieces.

It just gives me the total - can't see where to actually vote. Brown would probably be the best.

The examples you had before are better looking than the ones you are showing now. What happened?

Hey Redbean,

The new beard looks great I hope you will have it available soon, as I would love to get some.
I would like to see brown or maybe white. But I'll vote and see what the poll comes up with.

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I've made it so that you have to register first before you can vote, this is to prevent one person from casting more than one vote, sorry for the confusion. As for the the compatability of my beards with existing Lego helmets, the final version of my beards have a slightly shorter span than an authentic Lego one, so that they'd fit under a Lego helmet better (even a chieftain's mohawk from the Western series). I've posted some new pics of this on the main page, so please check them out. And finally, the vote will run for approximately 2 weeks, after that I'll begin their production. Please cast your vote if you haven't done so already as I'm really counting on your opinions regarding to their colours. Many thanks!!

And TTK, the quality of the ABS pieces are pretty consistent with my sculpey version, I think what you're seeing is only the result of my poor lighting skill. If you visit my main page again you'll be able to see some better pictures there.

What colors? Well every color under the sun. Blonde, Brown, Black, Gray and White. Those are the most beardy colors I can think of. Red looks good too though.

Hi,

Thanks for the comments/suggestions, and I know it's a hassle but would you guys mind very much giving your comments and votes here instead of in classic-castle? Because otherwise it just becomes impossible for me to keep track of all the feedbacks and stuffs and I wouldn't know who's voting twice, changing their mind after the vote, etc. Thanks a bunch and I'd really appreciate it!
