Not Joe Vig

Post by chump »

Well, when I saw the thumbnail on Brickshelf, I thought it was Joe Vig but when I clicked on it, I was wrong.

Anyways, if the creator changes the head to Ron, then this could be when the first Joe Vig that is the size of a vig.

I dunno... it kinda looks like a minifig sitting inside of something... like a mailbox. :D

If not, then it's "Fats" Candyman. (No relation to Joe.)

Of course this is Joe Vig, it's just that this time he's in danger of the affects of heart attacks and diabetes. :wink:

I think this is really, really cool -- a very unique idea. I wonder how he attached the arms inside the body...

My guess would be a 1x1 headlight brick on it's side with pneumatic tubing connecting the hand to in the inside stud hole. But I could be wrong.

A "vi(g)nifig"? perhaps....

That is such a hilarious creation, a very unique and compact use of parts in, what I would say is, a very a odd way.

Hilarious. Should have used one of the heads from the NBA sets to make him Fat Albert.
