Lighting up Red Alert

I have a bit of time now and so, I decided to explore the possibilities of lighting up Red Alert. The main problem, apart from wiring, lies in where to put in the batteries. This toy is quite small and the space inside it makes it very hard to put in some batteries. And so, this is my first step into thinking outside the Box (yeah, I went out of the room and into the toilet...)

One of the ideas came from this cigarette lighter. Its
small, compact and maybe, has what I want. Except
for the fact I get funny looks when I told them I do
not smoke at the checkout counter...

And so, after removing it, you have the main
component, which is the LED module itself. If
you want to take apart the whole lighter, I'd
like to suggest that you release the lighter
fluid thingy gas first...

So, here is the whole module, from the LED itself,
to the batteries and a simple contact switch. Is it
small enough for Mr. Red Alert?

Let's try but opening his/her* chest area. OK,
so the location is not ideal since there is no
space inside it.

Also, after opening his head, I see a potential
problem here a its using a ball-joint system.
This would pose a real problem if you want
to move his/her head all round. I have the
solution for this but it would cost me RM25
to find out if it works...

And so, that's all the time I have for the day. But seriously, I do suspect that there is a space inside it. Just that I really have to think out of the box for this one. For the time being, its to the 'to-do' shelf once again....
