I’ve admired Morgan19’s minifigs ever since I noticed his great Firefly minifigs. The latest batch is a group of historical minifigs, entries for the Fine Clonier Historical Minifig Contest. I might quibble with the “historical” nature of some of these, but it’s a great collection of minifigs, presented beautifully.
Sly420 has made an awesome thing…
The upcoming BrickWorld event in Chicago (June 21-24) will be hosting a “Ninjas vs. Pirates” contest. Go read David Gregory’s LUGNET post for details.

As featured here previously, master customizer NickGreat continues his “Colors of the Samurai” with my favorite color — and favorite minifig so far (via Klocki):
(Wow, feels like I’ve been gone forever, but it’s only been a couple of days. My bookmark folder’s bursting at the seams, so I’ll do a few “roundup” posts tomorrow to [...]
I threw this together last night, as a showcase for my new green ninjas. They are so cool…
In this scene the famously oblivious Joe Vig strolls through a bamboo forest. Will he escape alive? Of course, he’s Joe Vig!

Well, at the very least Lukas has a rather formidable assassin to send after you:
The claws are very cool, and seem to be constructed of Viking horns attached to those ever-useful binoculars. Excellent.
Jehkay’s latest is an awesome ninja mecha:

I recently helped Linus Bohman with some ideas for a cool little space ninja vehicle. Here’s his Shin-nyu, a “long range infiltration and assassination craft” (shin-nyu means “infiltrate” in Japanese):
Be sure to click the picture for the full gallery — lots of great details on this one. Here’s the pilot of the Shin-nyu, Danzou the [...]
From Izzo we’ve had a Ninja Mecha. I’ve made a Robot Ninja and Lukas W.P. built a Space Ninja.
Well, Linus Bohman has taken ninja mashup LEGO to a new, cranium-exploding level with … Steampunk Ninja!!! Woo hoo! Behold the awesomeness:
Here’s a closeup of the ninja, with his steam-power enhanced bow:
The ninja’s soon-to-be-dead target (dirty foreign [...]
I sure hope we never see the end of ninja LEGO creations. Here’s Nelson Yrizarry’s “Ninja Training Camp.” Natually, it’s totally sweet, with a secret entrance, lookout holes, and everything else a ninja clan needs to get ready for their next mission.
Be sure to check out all the pictures in the Brickshelf gallery, which includes [...]
Those of you looking for a LEGO Katie Holmes might be disappointed, but Brickshelf user Jimmy Lai has posted a cool minifig version of Tom Cruise in The Last Samurai:

Space ninjas are both awesome and totally sweet (after all, they’re the second-most powerful entity in the universe). Here’s Linus Bohman’s awesome and totally sweet space ninja dojo:
In addition to a cool “Asian space” aesthetic for the architecture, Bohman has included some really cool minifigs.

If you’re ever confused about the choices you should make in your life, you can just ask yourself, “What would a ninja do?”
A friend of mine was recently given a “What would a ninja do?” spinny folder at work (buy your own). We began consulting the folder for all of our business decisions. Unfortunately, this [...]
