But didn't a fan come up with that idea?

God bless.

Good luck with the farm.

THAT'S SO AWESOME!
I actually thought the exoforce minifigs were a waste of money, but I got to admit, I was wrong.
You really got me to change my perception with this MOC. Man, I got to get me some of those hairpieces.
Those hairpieces, all lined up like that, they really make it look like a real cabbage patch! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thanks for that! I'm glad I could change your perception! :P

The use of the hair = cool. What I really like about it is the serene "slice of life" with a touch of humor (the rat) that you present. Although I'm old, I tend to make my somewhat lame attempts at vigs involve violence for some reason . . . gotta get away from that.

That rat is Scabbers (Wormtail in rat form) from the Harry Potter books/sets. It's in these sets (hmm, I hadn't reallized they'd used it outside of the HP sets).

What a great idea for the use of that green hair. After reading the posts I went to Lego's website and looked closer at the grocer and there they are. I never would have thought of that. NowI have another idea to add to my ever increasing farm. I wonder if the purple hair would look as good as red cabbage?

I got my rats outta the holiday train from a few years ago. But what a great use for my many many many green manga hairs.

Purple hair would be interesting, for cabbage, maybe.

Great "piece" of the farm. I've been out for a while and seeing that hair used as lettuce is pretty nifty.

I may have to try that... I'm thinking of having about 4 or 5 small patch's like this, to provide the farmhouse with vegetables, each with a different veg. One will be the lettuce, one will be carrots, one may be the red cabbage, if I can find a good supplier and I'm not sure of the rest.... :P
