The Brothers Brick

Just a few of the smallest LEGO parts let Micah Berger (micahberger) create this adorable fairy. Genius.

Working my way further back through Moritz N’s photostream, I encountered this great vignette highlighting the importance of being tolerant:

Moritz says:
Although there are still incurable boneheads in both the dwarf and the troll society, Gnork and Shroeder finally summon up the courage to come out of secrecy.
Living their relationship freely they join the Cristopher […]

I had the pleasure of hanging out with Thom (aka minifig) on my recent trip to London. Over non-alcoholic drinks at a lovely neighborhood pub far from the tourist crowds, the conversation inevitably turned to LEGO.
Thom apparently decorates his home with great little LEGO scenes. On arrival back in the States, I was pleased […]

The LEGO minifigure turns 30 today. The very first minifig I got was in 1978, when I was 3 years old. Mr. Policeman had a stickered torso (right).
Today, minifigs are of course my favorite aspect of playing with LEGO, mainly because minifigs represent infinite possibilities.
Former LEGOLAND Master Model Designer Mariann Asanuma puts […]

August 25th is the 30th birthday of the LEGO minifigure. Here at The Brothers Brick, the minifig holds a very special place in our hearts — after all, we started out as a tiny little blog highlighting our favorite minifig finds.
To wish the minifig a happy 30th birthday, I’m pleased to announce that The […]

As the Beijing Olympic Games come to a close, two builders have created their own LEGO Olympics. First off, Jarod from Flickr presents a series of beautiful photos of the games using simplistic LEGO props.

Meanwhile, Alan Chia (713 Avenue) uses Stormtrooper minifigs in his depiction of the competitions.

Maybe not, but its close. I can’t stop looking at this fig by Lord Scuba, its so scary…

lokosuperfluoLEGOman has updated the folder with more pictures of 2009 LEGO sets, including Star Wars: Clone Wars and Indiana Jones.  Please keep in mind that these are all preliminary pictures and are almost certainly subject to change, therefore the use of old pieces in new figures (such as Patrick the starfish’s torso used for the brute […]

Some of you may have been wondering where I am. Well, I’ve been keeping company with the likes of James Joyce:

And Richard the Lionhearted:

Now, where could I possibly be?

LEGO Public Relations wants to know who has the world’s largest minifig collection. This could mean the highest quantity of minifigs or the most unique minifigs. If you think you have a shot or would like to mention someone else, please comment to this post!

I just loved Jamie Spencer’s recent Final Fantasy X-2 minifigs, created by combining his custom decal designs with scanned minifig photos in Photoshop.
Jamie has added another batch of Final Fantasy minifigs, from Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy Tactics A2, as well as a couple more from X-2.
Ashe and Balthier from Final Fantasy XII:

While working on custom decals for a trio of Final Fantasy X-2 minifigs, Jamie Spencer combined his decal designs in Photoshop with scans of the minifigs he’ll be putting them on, resulting in a rather cool effect:

Rikku, Yuna, and Payne never looked so good. I can’t wait for the finished minifigs.

The new LEGO Star Wars Clone Wars sets will be available soon, but attendees at Star Wars Celebration Japan got an early look at some of the sets — and the minifigs in particular.
Edge (エッジ) over at レゴ系 (The LEGO System) was there, and took a bunch of pictures of the LEGO Star Wars booth. […]

The flood of LEGO Halo creations is so overwhelming that I can make that pun without ever having played the game. Still, this Mongoose ATV and custom UNSC Marine by Vidgamer838 seemed too good to pass up:

Here’s the marine (custom torso decal, painted Rock Raiders helmet, and modified Ninjas armor for shoulder pauldrons) without the […]

With a modified head piece and sideburns from Arealight, decals from Jared “Kaminoan” Burks, and a megagun from the newly relaunched BrickForge, this Hellboy minifig by Jordan Schwartz brings together elements from several LEGO customizers to create the ultimate custom minifig:

Here’s Red with the rest of the Hellboy crew:

I must be feeling homesick for the land of my childhood tonight. I’ll wrap up this round of Japanese-themed posts with this great troll swordsman by Hamilton Scott:

And in case you haven’t been paying attention, LEGO trolls are the new cave racer.

Minifigs.net member ArzLan is a customizer I hadn’t encountered until I saw this gorgeous samurai on Brickshelf:

Poking around, I found even more great custom samurai minifigs:

Don’t miss lots of other great creations in ArzLan’s Brickshelf gallery.
