Description I think around half of you already knew of this trick but in case you haven't and are REALLY bothered by the looseness, you can stick a 1/2-module technic bushing in their head and make the brain static like the classic metru brains.

This way you can enjoy making more elaborate head structures without fearing the weight will compromise the entire mask assembly, and more easily pose the head itself by allowing you to directly handle the brain like a lever. Since I haven't gotten the 2016 sets yet, I dunno if this works with the new brainstalk.

Use a stud in the same manner for 2016 brain stalks. Might fall out a little easier though.

Thanks for the tip. I used it on my Ekimu revamp and it's a snug fit without getting in the way.

That's... actually a really clever idea.

I'm probably an idiot for not seeing this or thinking of this earlier though

Llortor In reply to IrrationallyRational [2016-01-12 18:35:54 +0000 UTC]

Now go make something with a batshit head/horns/antlers/whatever

There are no weight or center-of-gravity limits anymore

I actually had a head lying around with huge antlers and the 2015 Pakari kept it balanced just fine, but this'll do nicely to improve it, heh
