I can't wait to see when and if the rifleman makes it to the production line! I'm certainly going to get one!

I've liked this fig for a long time, and now that I look at the ammo clip, it looks different from the production ones. Early prototype, yes?

The prototype one has a flat bottom. The production one has a more curved bottom, for better minifig grip... Right, Will?

Check out my Flickr! Last updated: October 19th, 2009. No big MOCs from me for a while, I've got a vignette I'm working on, and it's using my best pieces.

Wow, you're right. I haven't noticed that. Sharp eye Urban Hazard and Dakhazdanman!

Dead-on correct, Urban Hazard. We found that the older style did not fit as well into the minifig's grip, so it was updated before it went into production. That is the benefit of being able to produce prototypes first, to test these issues. No other customizer does this except me.

Ooooh, a grey pistol! That's pretty cool, I also see you might be bringing back the helmets! :) Decals are fantastic, I really like how you put this together! Kudos to you, Will!

I'm getting the sense that when people go to the Lego conventions, they become, like, Brickarms gurus who have a super-high status with Will.
....I guess that's probably true lol.

^No, but it helps to strengthen the relationship between buyer and supplier. ;)

And just kidding Will, although you can never get enough of those brilliant decals.
