With a BrickLink order that included a generic African-American head, I was finally able to make Zoe. I took the opportunity to update update nearly all of my Serenity and Firefly minifigs, so check ’em out on Flickr:

Helico’s Good vs. Evil
The Empire vs. the Rebellion. Mordor vs. Gondor. Tom vs. Jerry. The most interesting conflicts are always fundamental struggles between good and evil. Markus Lütkemeyer (aka Helico) gives us a classic pair in “Good vs. Evil”:
Cool jetpack.

Lukas’ Very Dark Knight
Do the LEGO Numa Numa Dance!
Some love him, others hate him. Either way, Gary Brolsma became an internet icon when he did his Numa Numa Dance in 2004. When browsing YouTube, I came across — of all things — a LEGO version of the dance. It’s not really brickfilming, but it’s still cool. Check it out!
Here’s the original film, for comparison:
Otto the Awesome
Armothe recently posted a knight that is quite possibly the best custom fig I have seen yet. I give you Otto the Crusader!
The plethora of custom details is astounding, from the great helm to the barding, from the banner to the horse, virtually every detail is perfect.
As a finishing touch, Armothe has even given Otto a custom hairdo:
What an awesome fig!
Krab Trooper! Go go go!
Mike “Count Blockula” Crowley is a true original, as evidenced by his recent “Krab Trooper”:
I like the one above better, but I’m also highly amused by Mike’s version that uses Mr. Krabs’ head:
Thup-thup-thup-thup-PSHHHHH!!! Thup-thup...
Merry Christmas?
Perhaps Michael Jasper is showing us what Saint Nick does while he’s on vacation. But it’s September, you’d think the old elf would be busier at this point:
Kevoh’s Steam Squad
Kevin Blocksidge presents a batch of Victorian crime fighters:
And the heavy artillery:
Jack the Ripper better keep a low profile now that the Steam Squad is on the case!
Favorites from the Eurobricks Superhero Contest
Okay, so today is all about Eurobricks. As I blogged a week or so ago, Eurobricks is hosting a superhero contest. I entered Unit Zero One (with a beefed-up origin story).
The entries thread is closed and voting has begun, but I thought I’d highlight a few of my personal favorites (in no particular order).
Justin Ramsden’s The Mysterious Crab:
And my absolute favorite (though it didn’t end up in the final voting)…

Name Those Philosophers!
Brickshelfer Helico has posted a nice series of philosopher minifigs, but without individual shots or keywords, I don’t know who all of them are — though I have my guesses. Okay readers, try and name ’em all! ;-)
