Though low-res and group shots of Series 5 Collectible Minifigs have been circulating for a little while, I think this is the first set of “solo” shots at a high enough resolution to make out details and therefore be worth discussion.

Following his amazing GLaDOS from Portal 2, Brandon Bannerman (Catsy) miniaturizes a turret to minifig-scale (or near enough), alongside an adorable custom Chell fig, complete with ASHPD. For all of you out there who’d like your own turret to keep you company during the long twilight of civilization, Brandon has kindly posted instructions. Another interesting Continue reading →
It’s true, the Jawas drive a hard bargain. By Je Hyung Lee (TK431)

Ah, the life of an artist. Glamorous, with paintings selling for millions upon millions, right? Eh, probably not. Unless you’re Picasso, this poor minifig probably won’t see his works reach seven digits in his lifetime. But that’s glamorous, right? All he wants to do is pay for his fantastic flat, that he just cleaned. But Continue reading →
Actually, I’m going to be honest. Hellraiser is, in fact, one of the many films I haven’t seen. I’m just not big into horror. What I can appreciate, though, is a spot-on custom creation that even I can recognize. This is totally one of those. Fantastic job, capnbootle!
We recently found a list of upcoming series 6 collectible minifigs on a Bolivian toy website. We’ve added our speculation of the accessories that may be included with some of the characters. • Panda suit guy • Stunt man • Greek philosopher (with cloth toga and scroll) • Monk • Barbie • Skateboarder • Cannibal Continue reading →
If you’re still upset about LEGO’s removal of bar codes from the collectible minifigs, rest assured that you’re not the only one.
Joe of CitizenBrick.com recently sent me some custom printed LEGO elements to take a gander. A quick glance at his store revealed some interesting and potentially useful parts such as cobblestone tiles and a tattooed minifig. As far as I know, Citizen Brick is one of the few vendors who offer a variety of custom Continue reading →
Series 4 Minifigures are popping up in stores right now, and Chris McVeigh (powerpig) has gotten his hands on them and featured the perhaps most favorited hazmat guy in a brilliant photo.
I think it really goes without saying that Morgan190‘s custom minifigures are simply brilliant. It’s nigh impossible to pick a favorite. He’s posted some fantastic ones in the month of March, so rather then suffer the consequences of choosing, I’ll just gather them here.
WhiteFang from Eurobricks has a posted a review of the upcoming series 4 minifigs to be released on April 15. The review also contains the quantity of each minifig per case. I’m sure many of us are dying to see how awesome the Hazmat guy actually looks like (and hope that we get more than Continue reading →
A little something cute by Moritz (Nolnet) to balance yesterday’s nightmare clown. It looks like he’s working on a series of these. I dig it, and not just because I’m holding a cute baby while I write this. Ok, so maybe I have cuteness on the brain…
A picture is worth a thousand words, so I’ll let this one by Shobrick speak for itself. Thanks for the tip ~Tac~
You don’t need Jedi powers to sense that there’s been a disturbance in the force in Chris McVeigh‘s latest photo.
