Rod Gillies built this great TV to showcase his new LEGO Superman minifig. The TV cabinet is lovely, and the background includes excellent details like little puffy clouds and microscale, forced-perspective buildings. But it gets even better. The background behind Superman scrolls!
2012 Batman and Superman sets are out a couple weeks early from LEGO Shop online. The new sets include 6864 The Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase, which goes for $50 and includes five minifigs. So far, the Man of Steel is only available in 6862 Superman vs. Power Armor Lex, which also includes Lex Luthor Continue reading →
LEGO was kind enough to send us a pair of the LEGO Super Hero minifigs distributed exclusively at Comic-Con in San Diego earlier this year, and we’re going to give them away to two TBB readers. One reader gets Superman Batman, and another gets Green Lantern! To enter this raffle, just leave a comment on Continue reading →
Mr. Xenomurphy has been building daily for the past 2 months on this action-packed diorama for the Superhero contest. A lot of custom decals add details and realism such as in this shot. Visit MOCpages for the full gallery including work in progress and design pictures.
I’m quite willing to make the call that George Panteleon’s (ZetoVince) The Batman’s Tumbler from Dark Knight is the best I’ve ever seen at minifig scale.
This is simply incredible. I passed it over several times because I thought it was a drawing. People are always saying that some build or other doesn’t look like LEGO. Well, this one really doesn’t. This build is nothing short of outstanding. Mark Anderson built it. Obviously, he is awesome.
Mr. Xenomurphy‘s scene of the battle between Spider-Man and Sandman justly portrays this somewhat obscure villain. The building, despite being the backdrop, is also another highlight of the scene. The usage of 1X2 bricks and tiles mimics the realistic look of the buildings.
As readers will have noticed in our LEGO News feed last week, custom minifig accessory vendor BrickForge has just released a new batch of items, including a new “Shock Trooper” armor. We ordered a couple batches, and I managed to find enough sunshine in the Seattle “summer” to take a few pictures. The armor comes Continue reading →
It’s always nice to see our little hobby get some broader exposure, so it was great to see Nathan Sawaya‘s sculpture of Conan O’Brian‘s superhero alter ego “The Flaming C” on the show the other night, but Andy Richter deserved his own LEGO homage, too. Hilarity ensues.
With the DC Comics license fresh off the press, reports have also surfaced that LEGO has also obtained a Marvel license. Some low quality pics appear here. EDIT: Mariann Asanuma (Model Gal) has much better pics in her photostream including some strange Hero Factory/Superhero hybrids. From StitchKingdom.com: The LEGO SUPER HEROES Marvel collection will spotlight Continue reading →
Variety is now reporting that Lego has announced a broad license for DC Comics. What’s more, it appears that they’re giving away some promotional Batman and Green Lantern figures at San Diego Comic Con this weekend. Warner Bros. has expanded its relationship with Lego, granting the toymaker access to DC Entertainment’s complete library of comicbook Continue reading →
I know nought about Iron Man but Alex Schranz (“Orion Pax”) was obviously a fan of the comic and has dedicated 55cm worth of ABS to recreating this armoured superhero. His dedication to recreating the ‘muscles’ on the figure really lend it a drawn air. And as an added bonus the light in the chest Continue reading →
Julian Fong (levork) has made a set of nine DC Comics superheroes for Creations for Charity. Each features custom-designed waterslide decals and an acrylic finish. They’re one-of-a-kind minifigs whose quality is among the best I’ve seen. You can check out more of Julian’s works on Flickr. UPDATE: They’re all sold out!
Fredoichi recently unveiled this sleek bust of the Caped Crusader. I really like the smooth, finished look of this build. Now it just needs a voice chip saying, “I’m Batman”.
I think I should hate Cade Roster for building this, but I can’t. His rendition of the “Artist Formerly Known As…” is really good. Like a good train wreck, I can’t stop looking at it, so I’m inflicting it on our loyal readers. Misery loves company and all of that. By the way, he says Continue reading →
