Lunatic on a Pogo Stick

Well, he might not actually be crazy, but he sure does bounce around a lot. It’s Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers (by Izzo)!

A murder of silhouette crows…

I don’t know yet if this is a trend, but another builder making musical minifigs can’t be a bad thing! Matt Zitron joins Izzo by creating two singer/actors — Tom Waits and Andre 3000:

Everybody’s looking for something…

Izzo wanted to build Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics in “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).” Who am I to disagree?

Steve Bishop Ain’t Never Caught a Rabbit

Yes, he’s probably a hound dog, I wouldn’t call him “high-classed,” and I’m fairly confident he’s never caught a rabbit, but Steve Bishop has put the new Robin hair (from the Batcave set) to good use with an Elvis Presley minifig:
