?My question is if Lego will actually create a posed figure for Legolas so that he can hold his bow. I kind of doubt it, although maybe they could get away with it if they just replaced his left arm with one that’s pulled back like the picture — that wouldn’t fuck with the integrity of the mini-fig, really. But I’m still having a hard time seeing Lego ponying up for any non-standard mini-fig pieces, so my money’s on no. Anyways, thanks for everyone who sent these in.
