Nice, I just picked up a second Hot Head just to give this a shot myself. It's still amazing that they dropped the ball on his figure in the first place though.

That's very cool. So where did you get the extra lights, by dismantling other lightcores or just LEDs from Radio Shack? I would think the wiring in most figures would be insufficient since it has to be fed all the way through the body and arms from the receiver in the base?

these are the led's i used

http://www.maplin.co.uk/super-bright-3mm-led-383847

i also replaced the one in the head and used thicker wire to rewire the 3 led's from the base

as for instructions basically open him up, hollow him out and connect wires

i used tutorials from these 2 sites

Ok, so you expect us to believe that you secured the only Hot Head in existence that had its hands light up? Not buying it.

Customs notwithstanding, of course.

It's not the only one in exsistence, other people may have gotten them with hands that light up who knows? It's a development mistake that is pretty cool if you have one or had one, now get back on topic

Your dog ate a Giant? Ok... SUUUUUUUURE.

Well, I found a Thumpback and was about to post it and my miniature 12 pound Shih Tzu swallowed it whole just as I took my camera out! Then she swallowed the camera!

Seriously, though. Are you seriously trying to lie to us? Wow. Grow up.

Well you are a liar. End of story.


Back on topic, if you got a sparkle hot head, would you redo the lights again? I'd like to see that.
