This has to be one of the coolest Halloween candy displays I've ever seen! I'm sure the kids are going to love coming to your house. Amazing job! I can't wait to see what you do next year!
Re: 3 foot tall lego minifig ... Making Frank an Operation Game, and adding animatron
Here is the final setup on my front porch ... (it looked better once it was dark and the strobes were flashing and the ambient laboratory sounds were playing).
and my son playing with Frank in between tricker treaters ...
All in all, Frank and the Scientist worked great. Just a few minor glitches that were fixed with a good old "turn it off and back on" method.
They also held up really well. A few of the younger kids (mine included) pulled on arms and tried to turn heads, but the body parts just returned to their normal position and continued to work just fine. There are a few scratches in the paint from the tongs, but I had expected that from the beginning.
They were a huge hit with the tricker treaters and the parents as well. It really was a fun, non-scary thing for the kids to play with. I would have loved to get videos of the kids playing with them, but I really didn't feel comfortable filming children that are not mine

Ok everyone, I need your help. I have entered my giant lego minifigs into a contest for Make Magazine. One winner will be chosen by judges at Make, and another winner will be chosen based on views and respects (thumbs ups). So, if it not too much trouble to ask, click on the link below, find my project (its a few rows down), click on it to view. And if you are feeling extra generous, give it a thumbs up. Voting for the contest ends November 16th. Thanks
