In response to our recent post about ImpreSariO’s movie posters, reader Craig sends word of his own set of LEGO movie posters.
My favorite is The Simpsons Movie, proving once again that simplicity is often the best policy — that’s one round tile and 40% of a minifig torso assembly.
Here’s Reservoir Dogs and an Indiana Jones […]
The Heroes & Villains building challenge ends on March 15. To get your last-minute creative juices flowing, let’s round up a few of the vehicles we haven’t featured yet.
Here’s a Super-lowrider from Jake (more on Brickshelf):
A Spawn-mobil by bordolego:
Alex Eyler’s own assassin, the Mad Hatter (not to be confused with the Batman character), gets a […]
Here’s another great entry for the Heroes & Villains challenge — Plastic Man as a steam shovel!
Click the pic to see more of this great creation by Peter “Graznador” Aoun, including action shots and a reference pic that emphasizes just how perfect this thing is.
How did I miss this?! I’ll admit to being a bit behind, so MasterGongfu’s link to this great LUGNuts Heroes & Villains entry by Nathan Proudlove was very much appreciated.
The dominating feature on this great car is of course the roof — a brick-built Ace of Spades that begs the question, are decals and stickers […]
Click on through to Penny Arcade for a “Glimpse into the Future.”
(Thanks for the tip, TBB banner designer Jeremy!)
Hayao Miyazaki’s Porco Rosso never saw theatrical release here in the United States, and since it was released after I left Japan, I had to wait 13 years to see it (when it was released on DVD in 2005). The movie was worth the wait, and I just love Uspez Morbo’s interpretation of protagonist Porco […]
Lino Martins says, “Everyone knows Batman has all the coolest rides.”
As Nathan Proudlove demonstrates above, that’s certainly true! But if you’ve always thought that Spider-Man got hung out to dry or the Green Lantern got left out in the dark, the Heroes and Villains Challenge in the LUGNuts group on Flickr is your chance […]
Future Boy Conan was an animated Japanese TV show in the late 1970s that helped solidify the reputations of renowned Studio Ghibli animators Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata.
Luís Baixinho has created a beautiful plane inspired by the Falco in the TV series:
I’d love to see Luís’ take on the gunship from Nausicaä of the […]
Julian Fong is a minifig customizer I wasn’t familiar with until I saw these beautiful Justice League figs in his Flickr photostream. From Aquaman to Zatanna, Julian’s figs are just plain gorgeous.
Mike Crowley wins. He just does. At everything. More specifically, he’s found 7668 Rebel Scout Speeder and promptly created a truly unique minifig using the new helmet. Behold! Eva Mass Prodution Type (from the anime series Evangelion).
I missed somewhere along the way that there are transforming Gundam mobile suits. mumu rescues me from my own ignorance with his version of GN-003 Gundam Kyrios.
Here it is post-transform, in flight mode (and yes, mumu’s LEGO version itself also transforms):
I’m a sucker for mecha with mono-wheels for feet, like this anime-inspired racer by Chuck.
Mike Psiaki staves off the restive masses yearning for the as-yet-unconfirmed Speed Racer sets next year with this great little Mach 5, complete with Speed Racer and Chim Chim.
UPDATE: The entire line of LEGO Speed Racer sets are now available from the LEGO Shop:
8158 Speed Racer & Snake Oiler
8159 Racer X & Taejo Togokhan
8160 Cruncher […]
The Sandman, by Neil Gaiman was an important comic book series published between 1989 and 1996. Shane Larson has emerged from a yearl-long absence from the hobby to recreate The Endless in minifig form.
And don’t miss Shane’s take on the moment that Percival Lowell thought he had discovered canals on Mars (via the inestimable Klocki):
Izzo’s latest mecha is an update to his previous version of Ideon, from the anime series Space Runaway Ideon.
You can read more about Ideon on the sum total of all human knowledge, Wikipedia.
Unfortunately, Adrian Florea hasn’t included pictures of how his M3 Halftrack transforms into the Decepticon, but the before and after photos are certainly cool.
UPDATE: Adrian has posted a shot of Shellshock transforming. Way cool:
Update via Klocki.
Speaking of Optimus Prime, here’s another one, by rediv:
(Via Moyblik.)
Seach for “Optimus Prime” on just about any LEGO site and you’ll get about 1.6 million hits. Of course, most don’t actually transform, and if they do, it’s much easier to build a transforming Optimus Prime at a fairly large scale. astronut1 has created a transforming Optimus Prime in the 4-wide scale of classic Town […]
