What was TLG thinking ofwhen they were making these pieces?

[TsoAutTmo]

Check out what I found out.

Some pieces, if seen in a different way, may represent some weird..."faces"

Here are some figs that I made:

Using the dino baby piece... Green man


And with the Arctic Backpack piece... backpack man

DOncha think they look like faces???!

[Scnicker]

Haha those are extremely nice! Nice job, they do look like faces. You know, they would be perfect totems(or whatever) for islander MOCs.

[Spongey]

That's clever. I'd never have thought of that, but now I really see it.

[kelderic]

Haha, very nice! They would make great mythical warriors, or totems.

Superb LEGO crafstmanship! THIS is why I love LEGOs so much. These look great and, as kelderic said, they would also make great totems, etc (especially in brown or tan...)

[Lord Felix]

They look good. Love the use of the baby dinosaur. I could use that backpack sometime though...

That's really cool. I like the green guy. He looks very
Easter Island.

Thanks for showing these.

Nathan beat me to it (I'm a bit behind on LEGO stuff). Cool figs -- very original use of those parts.

These are indeed very strange. I am not sure how to take them.

So now I ask you this question.

What were you thinking when you were making these minifigs?
