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.

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.

If he’s not building mecha, Hiron seems to build great vehicles and vessels inspired by mecha-themed anime.

I’m not sure it would be possible to shrink mecha any smaller than these, by Chuck Citrin:
Regular readers of The Brothers Brick probably know by now that my favorite movies by Hayao Miyazaki (maybe of all time) are the ones he released in the 80’s, including Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind and Laputa: Castle in the Sky. I’ve certainly enjoyed his more recent releases, such as Princess Mononoke and Spirited [...]
