What do you think of this:
I am thinking about attaching a laser pointer to one of my 20-point launcher figures. Thus, I could focus the laser beam on the part of another figure that I want to hit (Greedo's chest, Vader's head, etc.) and fire. I would have to bring up the points to 30 or 40 because it would be kind of difficult to miss with the figure...
If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, please let me know. If I do end up doing this, I'll post pics here.
Okay, I've done it. I took a small laser pointer, carefully peeled off the label, and used a wirecutters to break off the chain. Then I used hot glue to attach it to TF 1:14 Super Optimus Prime Vehicle Mode.
With Super Optimus Prime, the top-heavy aspect was not too much of a problem. At least it didn't fall over as easily as other figures. Actually, the build was perfect for attaching a laser pointer. I considered changing the point value, but after I tested the figure a bit I found that base shots take it down quite easily because it is a little bit top heavy. Also, I did not attach the laser perfectly, so it's a bit off for long-range shots, but works perfectly for medium and short range.
This is my first custom, so it's not perfect, but it's pretty neat. It works. Sorry it took me so long to post pics!

its a good idea but it might make the accuarcy rate to high and would have to be at least 40 points and another problem is it mite become top heavy and fall over and stuff
