Both do have their uses, can't decide which one I like more. How durable is yours? Did you melt the chain link on? Keep them coming.

Sadly I used a megabloks chain, I didn't have the heart to cut a LEGO chain....

It's actually pretty strong, I gave it the drop test. Dropped it from about 4 feet up, onto a tiled floor. no breaking or cracking..
, BTW I used crazy glue.

Yay! You aren't so vicious as that!
Personally, I fully support the destruct- er... 'customization' of Mega Bloks.

Awesome work! I really can't decide which I like best. I do know this, for playing, I would like yours the best. But for use in movies or pictures, Jeff's wins hands down.
Say your prayers, Barbie Boy!
Hehehe, I almost fell off of my chair when I read that.

Nice. I do like it better than the other one, though you're right, the chain is a little big. That can be fixed though.

Not too shabby there, Joey.
As others have stated - this piece is difficult to do. On
one hand, you could do the chain, but it would never
have the ability to pose " in air". Well, that's not entirely
true...I could have spent A LOT of money to have the
chain molded like a vertebra, allowing it to be "clicked"
into positions. Unfortunately though, the cost to do this
at that tiny scale just isn't sensible. So, what you're left
with is a ...*ahem*...limp noodle.

Alas, you get the molded "in air" pose.
But hey...that's what customizing for, right?
