I do the same as pinjalinnea! I do keep the clips and put them on the underside, but I'm not sure how well it works. I think they are just there for piece of mind:) I like that they are still posable that way. I like to turn them slightly, makes the character look more expressive. I also like that they AREN'T permanant. I like changing up my CAMs as new things are released:) I keep my regular releases in stock and minty, so being able to "play" with the CAMs and change them at will is great!
