Jamie Spencer (Morgan19) once again posted some very creative and creepy minifigs throughout the past several weeks. Most of them use custom non-LEGO accessories but some are made from all LEGO parts. Here are a few of my favorites:

I shall place you on a pillar.

Michael Jasper is brilliant when it comes to Mini-figure scale models–and his pillar technique is no exception.

It seems to be made up of light-saber blades and this gear. You can see more of his mini-figure scale creations here!

Thanks to Bruce for the find!

Candy coloured clown

It’s no secret that I’m fond of Pakistani trucks and it’s a love I share with Adam Grabowski (misterzumbi). Let’s face it, Adam does it better than me.

And for any doubters the bags are duplo sleeping bags.

Time for the annual animated GIF! Lovely work as always, Jason Freeny.

Ankh-Morpork’s, um, not finest. I’ll think of something.

For years, Andrew humored my Discworld obsession by periodically blogging creations based on Terry Pratchett’s silly fantasy world, but now I get to do it myself. Sylvain (captainsmog) has created a new line of custom minifigures based on members of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. Makes me want to build a Watch House for them. From left to right: Detritus, Littlebottom, Angua, Carrot, Vimes, Colon, Nobby, Visit-The-Unbeliever-With-Explanatory-Pamphlets, Reg, and Dorfl.

Sylvain also built a great robot based on Hayao Miyazaki’s Laputa (or Castle in the Sky).

A pig that doesn’t fly is just a pig

Jon Hall (jonhall18) has built a great Savoia S.21 seaplane, but the centerpiece of this LEGO creation for me is the custom minifig of Porco Rosso himself.

Thanks for the link, Horace!
