I decided I needed to get the sailor too, because it seemed like the closest thing to a LEGO version of Shipwreck. When I was putting the hat on, I thought the anchor had been misprinted in the wrong spot. Then I realized it's meant to be a jaunty angle for the hat, and I dig that. Unfortunately due to the limitation of minifigure arm size, the sailor can't properly look through the telescope. Well, it can go up against his face, but it's still pointed down. Maybe he's squinting because he's trying to concentrate while looking through the telescope, or maybe he's winking at someone ashore. It's up to you.

Maybe it's just supposed to be a squinty eye like Popeye?
ReplyDeleteHello sailor!
ReplyDeleteI'm with CounterFett on that one. ;)
ReplyDeleteHe still looks rather plain to me. I'm gonna pass on him.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why everyone but me seems to have leapt to the Popeye conclusion!
ReplyDelete@Novelty: Indeed, it's not the most ornate of minifigures in this series. But without him, you can't build a LEGO VIllage People set. haha Has anyone done that yet?
Oh no, lego village people *shudder* What next? Lego village people spelling out YMCA? *shudder*
