I’ve been unable to access Blogger since my last post, but I think I have a workaround that will enable me to post now.
Stand by for some major updates to the blog (observant readers will already notice some changes on the main page), as well as the usual minifigs, mecha, castles, spaceships, and everything else wonderful and cool in the world of LEGO.
allmusic lists over 80,000 artist biographies, so Izzo has a long way to go before he runs out of material for his musical minifigs.
His latest is inspired by The Gorillaz’ Demon Days album art:

The steampunk bug has taken a huge bite out of Lukas. That’s a good thing.
Here’s his latest, a “steam chimney”:
Now with a bonus floating rock!
But wait, there’s more! Flappters inspired by Miyazaki’s Laputa:

The Seattle Weekly reports that families hoping to leave their kids in the “LEGO pit” at Bumbershoot (our annual arts festival) while they run off to see Of Montreal or Rogue Wave will be disappointed this year. Just so ya know.

Advance Wars is by far my favorite Game Boy Advance game, Advance Wars 2 is just as good, and Battalian Wars for Nintendo GameCube totally rocked. As if the game’s units weren’t tiny enough, Soren has successfully distilled them down to mini-scale:

What batch of catch-up updates (say that three times fast) would be complete without something from Mark Stafford?
His A-29 Mako is a “multi-purpose atmosphere or space fighter.” Nice. (Via the speedy Snoikle.)

Snoikle has a great interview with Philip Painter (Brickshelf), discussing the design inspiration and building process behind his latest spacecraft, LL928. Here’s the freighter in question:
While we’re at it, here’s a great “multi-role vehicle,” or MRV:

Okay, so it’s gotta couple of non-official stickers on it. Sue me. But c’mon, it’s the Ecto 1, everybody!

Fine. Be that way. If Cute Overload won’t blog my LEGO+animals submissions, I’ll post them myself. Next time I’m totally submitting to Adorablog instead. Hmph.
From Japanese blogger Bon, we have a post titled “Summer Vacation,” featuring an adorably tiny frog demonstrating Rule of Cuteness #14 next to a bald minifig:
Flickr user joocyfrewt presents Pancho the teddybear hamster, whose high BEF is compensated for by looking sleepy, sitting in a house made of LEGO:
So there, CO.

Izzo populates his “Heavy Metal Archive” with the mascot from Iron Maiden, “Eddie”:

Eurobricks member and Brickshelfer “Apophis Voo” presents Samara the Witch. Given that she’s a minifig, I suspect she weighs less than a duck:
What I like about Samara is that Apophis has combined bits and pieces from lots of different themes to create an awesome fantasy minifig. I also think this is the first time I’ve seen Draco Malfoy’s head used on a female fig.
