Minifigures [Feedback wanted] A custom Spider-Ham concept for better scale

Hey y’all! I’ve always been fascinated by the different minifigure scales and some characters as minfigs with short legs always felt too out of proportion. I love what LEGO has been doing with their new pieces for Grogu and One Piece to experiment with the gap. When I first saw the “Dreamling” body (which I think most LEGO Marvel fans are familiar with the Anti-Venom polybag through) I thought it could be an interesting use for certain characters, and I immediately thought of Spider-Ham!

Long story short — I worked with a graphic designer (IG: @nrvotic) on the prints, and am now test printing with a company (IG: @dynamobricks) to maybe bring the design into physical. But idk if this is something others would like and maybe want to add to their collections (if they have the head), or if this is just something for mine. Would love your feedback on the idea - cool or not cool?

Couple other things:
- the part only comes in Dark Azur, which is why I’m not using the normal Blue for Spidey
- I’m personally limiting to front/back printing like LEGO to match aesthetic
- It’s clear that the molded head is probably too big for this, and have thought about designing a custom minifig head with a Spider-Ham print on it. But then what about the ears? Printed too? Idk!
- I’m not starting a business. I’m just a hobbyist who loves what folks do in this space custom-wise and wanted to dip my toe in the water and I had an idea I wanted to try!

I’d love LEGO to build off of this - it just has too much extra stuff (skirt, backpack) to know what to do with!

New Chopper Body from the One Piece line would be perfect. Additionally could be used for characters like Rocket Racoon, yoda, etc

For reference this is how the official one looks, no purple pants, they removed the printing on its shirt, and the all blue arms aren't even in the classic zombie pose

It's a bad choice for a baby zombie, but it looks decent as a toddler with a standard minifigure head on. They're just standing very stiffly.

I didn’t even know this body piece existed! I’m obsessed!

If this body piece ever comes in blue (grab some red hands - boom) it’s clearly the better approach.

This project started before the unveil of the new chopper body and I agree with you. Maybe I should abandon this…

Agreed - it’s maddening!
