Yellow power!

I had swapped all peach heads and hands on the starwars figs that had them, and if I ever find them again I might be generous and grant them a body to work as slaves alongside the dimmies and jawjaws, and if Im not I will give the a place on a burning stick.

on the subject of peach vs megablox: definitely peach, for they are still lego.

I still buy peach containing sets. I simply sell the minnifigs to collectors on ebay.

I have about three that are peaches, and I make sure to put them either on the front lines, or in positions that have no importance.

Never trust a peach to do something important, aside from dying.

I dislike peaches, but I am limited. I can't even get 5 guys to look the same so I gotta be resourceful. I should bulk order guys on briklink, but right now I just wanna get one game of BW down right.

I use peaches as victi- volunteers who want to help me with my experiments. :twisted:

One thing I think Peaches could be used for is representing Eldar/Elves. Since no self-respecting minifig has ears in the first place, the paleness of the Peaches is the only way you could distinguish them.

Plus, plenty of peaches have that smug holier-than-thou expression.

I've heard, but not tried, that a yellow Sharpie Marker over a peach will make it nearly indistinguishable from an original. If you're not going to use them either way, might as well try it.

Since the faces are printed with a non-porous ink, the yellow shouldn't affect any of the face but maybe white ink.

(ABS plastic is somewhat porous, particularly since Sharpie Ink has a solvent in it)

But, it will eat you alive from the inside that the core of your minifig is still a peach........

I use peach hands as prosthetic ones. Wiilie Scott from the Shanghai Chase set comes with peach arms too so they could be used as artificial arms.

Great for medix.

They make good latex gloves for doctors, nurses and germaphobic necromancers.
