The Brothers Brick

I always look forward Moko’s updates to his Original Figs folder. Here are my favorites from the latest batch — a couple of cyborgs, a knight, and a magician. All of these minifigures use Moko’s unique brick-built leg assembly:

Put the big blue robot from 4048 Mech Lab and the big red dinosaur from 4507 Prehistoric Creatures in a small apartment and watch the hilarity ensue!
