I am making molds of the tongues for the bots...
Billy has a big one,
Rolfe has a little smaller one...
Dook and Beach bear have a small one...

Can anyone tell me what size Mitzi has? And did Fatz ever have one? The mask I have for Fatz it is painted on... and doesnt look like he had one.

Thanks,
Beth

Fatz did not have one. Mitzi's is small and narrow. I am not sure if it's the same as Rolfe's or not.

Thanks Capt!

Do anyone have a close up picture of Mitzi's tongue or can anyone tell if it is the same as any other robots?

Another Mitzi question... How do you get the eyelids off? I can disconnect the movement cyl, but can't see a way to get the lids out of the frame... and I don't want to break anything.

Any suggestions?

I actually am missing a tongue on my Mitzi too. On the eyelids there is a trick Beth. What you do is loosen the alan screws on the eyeballs. These screws are found under the eyes. Once they are loose you can manually turn the eyeballs side to side. Notice the backs are flat. There is a reason for this. When you turn the eye sideways with the back to the eyelid "hinge" it creates a gap. Gently push in on the lid and it will come off. Turn the eye the other way with its flat back to the other "hinge" and you can then slip your lid off. It isn't obvious the first time you do this, but after you figure it out once it's very simple. Hope that helps.

Ahhhh, I see now!

Thanks - I bet $1000 I would have busted the first set learning that on my own...

Mitzi thanks you too

No problem, I have been there too. My mitzi actually came with a broken lid in one corner so that is the main reason I had to learn to do it.
