Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Serenity, Firefly, and now Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog — everything that Joss Whedon touches turns to gold.
Here’s my take on a scene from Act II of Dr. Horrible:
Go watch all three episodes for yourself on DrHorrible.com (before the end of the day today, though — they’ll be gone after midnight, July […]
I’m extremely pleased to announce that Keith Goldman has joined The Brothers Brick as our resident Columnist.
Keith is one of those LEGO fans of near-mythical proportions. Having met Keith in person, I can report that he stands nine feet four inches tall (that’s twelve meters for you Canadians), and is able to levitate his […]
Reader Chris McVeigh (Flickr) combines excellent photography with recent LEGO sets to tell a funny little story. Captioned “Trading Places,” Darth Vader trades places with Batman:
I think Batman got the better end of the deal.
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:
We featured Brent Waller’s desert-camo Tumbler back in April, and now he’s released full instructions for the black version of his LEGO Batman Tumbler.

I’m loving these little guys.
In news sure to please those of you who voted for “LEGO Castle (Dwarves & Trolls)” in the current poll, the full line of LEGO Castle sets for 2008 is now available from the LEGO Shop online.
Here’s 7048 Troll Warship (USD 79.99):
That’s six troll/goblin/orc minifigs, a dragon, a Crown Knight minifig, a Dwarf minifig, Clancy’s […]
With everybody distracted by shiny Cave Racers, it seems the end of the world has been staved off for a while, or so it would seem from the dearth of decent ApocaLEGO lately.
Fortunately for us, Horace Cheng has taken his recent snowmobile design and added a bunch of stuff to make it zombie-proof:
Bonus Iron Man […]
It’s the oldest trick in the book. Simian superhero lures feline antihero in a high-speed chase down a city street. Hero places peel of yellow tropical fruit on the ground. Mayhem and hilarity ensue.
Jordan “SirNadroj” Schwartz puts Monkey Man in a slippery situation with “Monkey Man vs. Black Puma”:
Black Puma and his sweet ride are […]
Well, you can’t forget that with this incredible bust by Craig Stevens
He’s done another captain too!
Andrew Lee stomps into the Reasonably Clever Pumping Iron contest at the last second with an Iron Man/Gundam crossover:

My Spawn minifig was inspired by a conversation I had a while back with Drew Ellis. He suggested Bane from 7787 The Bat-Tank would make an excellent Spawn. I’m inclined to agree:
(All official pieces; no custom parts.)
It’s not often we feature LEGO that’s been painted to achieve the builder’s intended effect. But occasionally, like Jamie’s Dardenbahst, a customized creation rises above the rest and gets my grudging vote of approval.
Check out Brent Waller’s rendition of the Batmobile “Tumbler” from Batman Begins:
Because LEGO doesn’t make the pieces he needed in […]
Long before the Power Rangers leapt across the Pacific onto American TV screens, Japanese TV was dominated by series after series of superhero shows, not least of which was Kamen (Masked) Rider.
Moko goes retro with his latest creation, an homage to the very first Kamen Rider:
From 1971 through today, Kamen Rider, his motorcycles, and […]
The Heroes & Villains building challenge ends on March 15. To get your last-minute creative juices flowing, let’s round up a few of the vehicles we haven’t featured yet.
Here’s a Super-lowrider from Jake (more on Brickshelf):
A Spawn-mobil by bordolego:
Alex Eyler’s own assassin, the Mad Hatter (not to be confused with the Batman character), gets a […]
Toy Fair 2008 is approaching and there have been pictures of the late 2008 sets circulating on the web. I found Joe Meno with some of the first pictures of themes including Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Speed Racer, Bionicle, and Batman.
Update (AB): Ace Kim also has extensive pictures from Toy Fair 2008, nicely organized into […]
Lino Martins says, “Everyone knows Batman has all the coolest rides.”
As Nathan Proudlove demonstrates above, that’s certainly true! But if you’ve always thought that Spider-Man got hung out to dry or the Green Lantern got left out in the dark, the Heroes and Villains Challenge in the LUGNuts group on Flickr is your chance […]
