Talking shapeways - tfcon 2012 exclusive garrison neck upgrade

hi, i do not expect people to purchase this part, but im throwing it out there if anybody finds it useful

i mentioned this in the tfcon forum, and while its not tfcon organizers or protoman's fault per se, but my beef with headrobots garrison is that the G1 connector is kind of too big for the headmaster junior hosehead's body. for mine at least, it takes alot of effort to yank it out, fearing that i may break something. the first time i had to use a pair of pliers to yank it out with force. also, because of the way the hosehead body is set up, the head's center of rotation is a bit off when you try to rotate the head



so i made a small neck part to address these issues, and also raise the head a bit to give him some neck. the part snaps into the body securely and you can now yank it out without much effort.





the neck connector is now pushed back a bit to give the head a bit more natural center of rotation





in vehicle mode, i guess you can leave the connector at the back as is, or you can place it in the driver's seat. oddly enough, it attaches to the vehicle securely; if you flip the fire truck upside down, the piece will not fall out

tested and recommended material is WSF polished. as a TFcon exclusive appreciation upgrade accessory, this will be sold at cost with zero markup. you can purchase the part here:
