I haven’t quite figured out this recent creation from Squieu. Sure, it’s a mecha, but it’s very sculptural:
It’s very strange, but still very cool. (Thanks to Linus Bohman for the pointer!)

Nelson Yrizarry: Man or Super-Man?
Some men call him a god. Other men name weeks after him. It is undeniable that Nelson Yrizarry stands above the rest when it comes to vignettes. One reason is the minifigs he includes. Here are my favorites from his latest vignette-building binge.
Sir Clark of Kent:
The Soup Nazi from Seinfeld:
Snoopy, Lucy, and Woodstock from Peanuts:

A System of Concepts Worked Out in Steel
Mnup Yyyeshnit Nidip! Meep norp.
I have no idea what I just said. I hope I didn’t offend any aliens who read this blog (you know who you are). Brickshelfer osk certainly captured their likeness in an excellent batch of alien minifigs:

3vil Battle Station Agrona
Building in Mark Sandlin’s fan-created “3vil” sub-theme, Legohaulic has created a menacing battle station, dubbed Agrona:
Here’s the crew:

Pippin Reed: 2084
Dennnis Coh is participating in the FBTB Forums R-Wing contest, but what caught my eye was his minifig pilot:
With a great brick-built weapon and excellent color coordination, Dennis’ version of Pippin Reed is smokin’ hot.
(Only after typing up the Technorati tags below did I notice just how much of a mashup this minifig is: With a name and head from Adventurers, built for a Star Wars contest, using an old Spyrius torso, Pippin makes an excellent Space minifig.)
A Hard Day’s LEGO
More Beatles album art from Digger Digger Dogstar. Need I say more? I think not.

Space Pirates! Aliens! Gorgeous Women!
I credit Azumu as one of the bloggers who got me into blogging just over a year ago, with his regular “best of Brickshelf” posts on LEGO-BINGO. But Azumu is also a consummate builder — his brick-built Pokemon are especially fantastic, even if you’re not a fan of little creatures who only say their own name.
So it was wonderful to click over to his blog post and see some great minifigs inspired by comic book artist Buichi Terasawa’s Space Adventure COBRA. Here’s the space pirate himself:

Monster Hunter 2 Minifigs
Okay, so it turns out that the series of minifigs Sugegasa has been posting lately are based on the upcoming PS2 RPG Monster Hunter 2 from Capcom, and the minifigs were actually built by Sugegasa’s younger brother.
Anyway, here’s the full set:
I like the improvements Sugegasa The Younger has made to the fig with the bow, and the two newest figs are great. I guess talent runs in the family.
Lunar Ice Harvester by Duane Hess
I really do need to start paying better attention. For better or for worse, I’m not especially interested in Technic creations, which is what I thought Duane Hess’s creation was until I took a closer look:
It’s actually a minifig-scale “Lunar Ice Harvester” that’s just plain huge. The sheer size of the vehicle enables Duane to include lots of great detailing — both interior and exterior — so be sure to check out the full photoset on Flickr!

All you need is LEGO! LEGO is all you need!
Flickrite Digger Digger Dogstar has fantastic Photoshop skills, as he demonstrates by incorporating minifigs into Beatles album art.
His latest is With the Beatles:
Since I haven’t blogged them before, here’s Abbey Road:
…and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band:

Just please leave out the probing...
Brickshelfer and FBTB member Nannan recently posted a cityscape that I didn’t really pay any attention to as I passed over it on Brickshelf. I’d seen cityscapes before:
Yeah, that’s a cute little UFO, but nothing special, right? WRONG!
Nannan has incorporated an Exo-Force light brick with a corresponding fiber-optic tube thingy. Extremely cool and very ingenious!
