Giant Lego Christmas Minifig

Description
I did a few tweaks. The original had a blank head and you would print 'face_mask' and draw it on. My version has the face modeled into the head. There's an innie and outtie version, I think the innie turns out better.
The body now has no text on the back and I cleaned up a few geometry problems.
I may upload the Cinema 4D file that allows you to put a name on the hat but it will probably be of limited use to most people.
Instructions
You have a choice of 3 heads and if you use the blank, also print the 'face_mask' to draw on the face. There are 2 bodies to choose from as well.
You may have to do some trimming on parts, in particular you may have to shave the corners on the bottom of the body so the fringe will go on easier. Trim the supports off the hips.
The pins should only have glue on the portion that goes inside the arms and legs, otherwise they won't move.
The hat and fringe need joined together, usually with 3mm filament bits used as pegs. I have 1.75mm filament, so I used some brass tubing, but you can use screws, toothpicks or just glue them together.

I had a hard time getting the arm pins in place with a standard set of needle-nose pliers. But, I found that if you scale everything up by 20%, it's much easier to assemble. Plus, bigger is better :)
This is FANTASTIC!!! Awesome stuff!!! I love how you have peoples names in the white of the hats!!!
I've been trying to get the text off the back and put on other text in Sketchup to no evail (learning to crawl with the program).
Now all we need is someone to write an Openscad program to import this and use the write.scad to really make it easy to modify! :-)
There's my excuse to learn more right there!
Maybe blender would work as well...
So many choices!!!
Once again, fantastic work! :-)
Thanks Dogbert! Once again, most of the credit has to goto Skimbal, I would have never sat down to make the thing from scratch. Text can be a real pain to get on there right. If you need something particular, let me know and if I have time I will send you an STL.
