Yeah, I've never been a believer in mouth animation on minifigs (in something like Little Guys, though, I'm all for it). Minifigs are not humans, and while I do want them to act life-like, mouth animations usually push them into the uncanny valley for me. :o]]></content>

I'm not sure I get what you're suggesting. :/ Are you saying that i should only move tha arms and not have any hand twisting? Or are you saying that my movements are too exaggerated in general?]]></content>
