Paul “Polywen” Lee’s take on the poster for Watchmen doesn’t expose us to blue LEGO hindquarters, but that just means we get to see the full glory of Dr. Manhattan:
Via Gizmodo (way to go, Paul!).
Michael Jasper is one of our favorite builders here on The Brothers Brick. He has recently updated his Characters gallery with major contributors to the sciences: Alfred Nobel and Carl Zeiss.
Teikjoon builds some pretty fun, quirky stuff. I’m loving this Coast Guard quad, dubbed the FARQUAD. The Brickfa technique works perfectly here.
Mike Crowley puts a LEGO troll in Boba Fett armor to hilarious effect:

With so much amazing stuff to blog, I sometimes feel like we don’t feature the smaller creations often enough. I really think small creations take a lot of talent to design well, which is one reason why I like Tim Zarki’s dive suit so much:
This would be perfect for, you know, hunting underwater zombies.
The Genius of Tiny Things, Michael Jasper recently posted a new minifig accessory — the shopping cart:
And for those who missed it, a very tiny motorcycle:
David Pagano, Nate Burr and myself were all recently asked by the LEGO Company to make a brickfilm to celebrate the LEGO minifigure’s 30th birthday. This is my contribution, 30 Years: The Story of the Minifigure. How many historical figures/events can you name?

David Pagano, along with Nate Burr and myself, were recently asked by the LEGO Company to make a brickfilm celebrating the LEGO minifigure’s 30th birthday. David’s brickfilm is a romp through time and space, celebrating the best of the LEGO sets and minifigures over the past 30 years:

Nate “Blunty” Burr, along with David Pagano and myself, was asked to make a brickfilm to celebrate the 30th birthday of the LEGO minifigure. Nate delivers in typical Blunty3000 style, with his satirical brickfilm, Living in Meatspace:

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 [...]

EDIT: And, it would seem, via The Brothers Brick. This is what I get for blogging while jetlagged… Thanks Tyler!
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…
