I don’t know why, but this jibbly creation by Moko makes me think of Furbys. Still an interesting creation, in a sort of creepy, wierd way…

Smcginnis Delivers Death
Lots of people have built LEGO necromancers, the Grim Reaper, and other minions of evil, but Classic Castler smcginnis has created quite the helmet for his version of Death:
News: More Mid-2007 Sets at Nuremburg Toy Fair
Pictures from the Nuremburg Toy Fair have shown up on Brickshelf. We’ve seen pictures of most of these sets already, and known most of them were in the pipeline, but it’s nice to see pictures — and there are a couple surprises.
EDIT: Looks like the pictures have been moved or deleted, and the folder itself is currently not public. I’ll add pictures again once they become available.
Arrr!!! redux
I can’t get enough of pirates. (And ninjas, of course. Simmer down, Hattori. You’re still Da Man.) Anyway, Brickshelfer amanda100101 (aka Classic-Castler Lamanda2) presents a jaunty pirate with a colorful parrot:

The creatures contest is coming along nicely, but two little dudes caught my eye among the awesome critters in Arpy 2.0’s Flickr photostream. Behold a Pirate and Islander Pantsbot!

A less disturbing monkey-themed creation, this one by Michael Jasper, is this scene featuring Charles Darwin:
Mmmm … science… *zzzzzz*
(Via Moyblik. Also don’t miss Van Gogh.)
Monkeys are Delicious!
Wagiri.
Bruce wondered what ayucow’s recent, rather strange “Wagiri” vignette might mean. Here’s the vignette in question:
I wasn’t sure myself, so I checked out ayucow’s blog post, where he tries to explain:
This was my entry for the 5th Odaiba Click Brick Building Contest. It’s the sort of creation that causes one to struggle when asked “What is this?” If forced to answer, I would say, “After cutting a top sirloin or pork roast into thick slices, you’re all fired up and exclaim, ‘For dinner this evening we eat meat! Yay!'”
(The term wagiri itself simply means “cut in a cross-section” or “sliced in the round.”)
Mike Yoder, microscaler
Mike Yoder proves yet again that he is one of the best microscale space builders out there:
The ships are called the Rubicon, the Leatherback, Blackwater Gunship and the Laura Nicole respectively. They were built as part of a contest in the Classic-Space flickr group hosted by Nightowl. Nice work, Mike!
