I’m generally not impressed with the results of combining clay or Sculpey with LEGO minifigs, but Peter C. (Pete Corp) has achieved amazing results with this custom minifig of Princess Leia as Jabba the Hutt’s slave girl.
Princess Leia’s armband, bikini, and ponytail are all sculpted from clay — amazing detail at this small scale.

More great custom Discworld minifigs by captainsmog. This time capturing the earthiness of Gytha Ogg and the stern visage of Esme Weatherwax, witches of Lancre.
Also check out his new Death 2.0 and brick-built Death of Rats.
As my contacts on Flickr will already have noticed, I’ve been posting custom minifigs fairly regularly over the past few weeks, but haven’t posted anything about them here on The Brothers Brick.
That’s because I’m approaching our review of the latest custom accessories a bit differently from the reviews we’ve posted of BrickArms and BrickForge [...]
It’s been a very long time since going to see a movie inspired me to build a bunch of minifigs as soon as I got home. I saw Terminator Salvation on Saturday night, and had to build the heroes and their antagonists.
The human Resistance wouldn’t be the same without a couple of T-600 Terminators to [...]
These custom KISS minifigs by Jonathan Gilbert (Shmails) have me shoutin’.
Yup, Steve Vargo built some shrooms. Pretty cool looking ones too.
There is another picture that captures a rare indigenous mushroom creature as well.
I think they must be pretty big, because he built this lumberjack too. He doesn’t say that they go together….but coincidence? I don’t think so.
74louloute is quite the poser, at least with this figure. The combination of unusual joint connections enables this knight, dubbed Sir Hruodland, to strike a rather heroic pose.
I think he’s coming after us, don’t you?
BrickForge, the custom minifig accessories shop, has five new colors available including yellow, dark green, purple, transparent green, and dark bluish gray (dark bley). This means that now you can now get your custom items in a total of 20 colors! In addition, several colors have been restocked including the coveted chrome silver.
In addition, BrickForge [...]
You know it’s true.
legomocs combines LEGO elements in a fairly simple way to achieve perfect brick-built phasers and a tricorder. Combined with the red and yellow torsos, these minifigs are instantly recognizable.
Jamie said it best: “Normally they look too plain, but it’s amazing how nice black pants and a few accessories can make blank [...]
Kiwi T-shirt designer Glenn Jones (Glennz) has created a couple of really sweet shirts featuring little plastic people.
Tee hee! :-D Thanks for the tip, Rob Walker!
Not quite as elaborate as the full anatomy of a minifig, this brick-built version by Billy McGill (Mt.Dew Monkey) is equally impressive.
Jamie Spencer (Morgan19) sure knows how to combine minifigs and custom accessories in interesting — and creepy! — ways.
From Yoda’s head on backward to Catwoman cowls for arms, Jamie’s minifigs are full of surprises.
See the full horde of Jamie’s creepy figs on Flickr.
captainsmot brings the Terry Pratchett’s Discworld characters to life in the form of custom LEGO minifigs.
Rincewind, the Luggage, and Twoflower:
Cut Me Own Throat Dibbler, Cohen, and the Silver Horde:
If you want to win a chrome gold C-3PO or chrome Vader, you can enter the new contest on the K.A.M. forums. Your task is to present a custom force-user minifig in the backdrop of a vignette made from pieces of one battle pack. Think you’re up to the challenge? May the force be with [...]
74louloute enacts all sorts of mayhem on some Wild West minifigs in this fantastic Red Light District diorama. Please zoom in and check out all the details. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
And in his words (slightly edited)
Formerly, the sherrif used to be the guarantor of the security and the peace in the city. Unfortunately, [...]
Larry Lars has been posting a series of cool little figures he calls “Larryfigs”. Somewhere between tiny mecha and hardsuits, Larry demonstrates that these offer a wide range of possibility.
Guy Himber (V&A Steamworks) recently began applying his special effects artistry to his LEGO hobby by producing custom stovepipe hats.
The hats are like hilariously exaggerated versions of the official LEGO top hats, and are absolutely perfect for steampunk and Victorian fantasy minifigs.
Guy was kind enough to send along a couple of the hats for us [...]
April Fool’s Day may be over, but that doesn’t stop the shenanigans in the LEGO fan community. The recent announcement of LEGO Rock Band is already inspiring spoofs like this one from Dave Shaddix.
