It's been close to 20 years since I saw the movie or played with those figures.

Yes, I definitely also have to do a rewatch - it's been way too long and I don't remember much. It's often that I only afterwards pay more attention to props or costumes, after studying figures and accessories in their details.
For example, I got the Baker Street Door set and if not someone had pointed out that one of the rods of the fence was supposed to be missing, I would have thought I got a defect item I've never noticed.

You can space them about an inch or half inch apart depending on how close you want your pods to be to each other. I have about 10 of these pods I have picked up over the years.

Thank you very much for this detailed explanation, it was very easy to follow. Here is the result! I don't see how they would both would fit together with the inner holes though, because the backsides collide at that distance. But then I also think the pods stand without the connectors just fine.



Also those NOS bottles arrived today! You can open them to store a pill inside. They come in varios colors and are very cheap on ebay. Made from metal, not plastic.
