Malaysian LEGO fan Teikjoon introduces us to Dr Transistor. And let’s not forget the lovely Nurse Muggins. Enough said.
Fabrice Pathier (Four H) from Vimeo made an ultra snazzy fashion show clip featuring designs by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac displayed on LEGO minifigs. I have not seen smoother LEGO animation than this; it’s truely top notch work.
When we last saw the NO REAL THAN YOU ARE minifig, it appeared on a beach in The Netherlands to much fanfare and even inspired Nathan to build a real LEGO version.
A similar figure, this time with a green torso, has shown up on Brighton beach in England (click for the full story on BBC.co.uk):
A [...]
Jesus Diaz over at Gizmodo has posted a pictorial timeline of the LEGO minifig over the 30 years of its glorious plastic life.
Fair warning that several hundred images on a single page might take a while to load:
The BrickLink Reference Catalog lists just over 4,000 minifigs, so the Gizmodo timeline isn’t complete, but the pictures [...]
In honor of Halloween, here is a stylish, but creepy, minifig by David McNeely. I love the frill effect of the blue plumes, but this guy is gonna be keeping me up tonight.
The Fine Clonier Haunted Halloween Custom Minifig Contest has resulted in some great minifigs, including all of Jamie Spencer’s spooky figs.
One of my favorites so far, though, is this custom Chestburster (from Alien) by pirie1:
Tyler Clites goes theatrical with his latest batch of minifigs, inspired by the Predator and Alien movies.
Notice the minifig hands Tyler used for the Predator’s mouth:
Michael Jasper is easily one of my favorite builders. His many minuscule creations simultaneously inspire and annoy. (”Genius! So simple! Why didn’t I think of that?!”)
Portuguese LEGO fan community Portal 0937 has posted a great interview with the artist many LEGO fans know mainly by his Brickshelf user name — “mijasper“.
LEGO elements, in particular those [...]
Okay, not really (my wife would kill me if that were true), but Casper’s brother created this stunning bronze sculpture to celebrate the minifig’s 30th birthday.
Casper described the process in a comment on MOCpages:
The technique is that you start out with styrofoam and dig a hole with a very hot thingy. Then you place [...]
Tristan tells us to go against the flow in this simple, but poignant, creation.
Do you agree?
Jason Freeny, a talented artist and designer, rendered the anatomy of a minifig in stunning detail. Wait, I never knew our minifigs had so much guts, and pretty much everything else is included as well, down to the family jewels.
Check out Jason’s website for more interesting works and deviant art that showcases the artist’s [...]
Will Chapman from BrickArms took the summer off from work to try focusing exclusively on custom minifig accessories.
Starting with BrickWorld 2008 in June, each LEGO convention has revealed more and more new products and prototypes.
Thanks to the extra time he has now, Will has been churning out more prototypes in his garage than we [...]
The latest minifig character by Michael Jasper is photographer and conservationist Ansel Adams:
As with so many of Michael’s great brick-built accessories, the tripod itself is wonderful:
Tommy Armstrong from Brick Engraver has been cooking up something rather cool — custom-printing on LEGO bricks:
Tommy can print just about any design on white LEGO, including standard bricks, plates, and even minifig torsos, as modeled above by GO MINIMAN GO and BrickCon minifigs. Note the high level of detail on the four issues of [...]
Jamie Spencer (Morgan19) came up with some creepy minifigs for the Halloween minifig contest on Fine Clonier forums. These figs use a combination of custom and standard LEGO parts in creative ways and each has a unique eerie personality.
Click the picture below to access the Brickshelf gallery for quick viewing, or you can check [...]
It’s no secret that we here at The Brothers Brick love this year’s LEGO Agents sets — especially Andrew, who won’t shut up about them!
So we’re very pleased to bring you an interview with Matthew Ashton, Creative Director for LEGO Playthemes, and one of the set designers for the LEGO Agents theme.
The Brothers Brick: To [...]
I don’t think I would ever chase a bear with a spear, but I’m not a caveman either…
