The Arvo Brothers‘ latest project is inspired by Ghost In the Shell 2 and the disturbing works of Hans Bellmer. There are only two teaser pictures so far, but they’re worth it. I look forward to the gallery and must say that Arvo’s recent takes on fictional subjects have yielded really, really stunning results.

Update (April 24): Here’s another teaser pic:
Peter “Graznador” Aoun has captured the look of the adorable protagonist from Pixar’s upcoming film Wall●E:
Watch the trailer here:
And a bonus Super Smash Bros. scene:
Flickr member 713 Avenue recently developed an interest in photo shooting Star Wars trooper minifigs with Apple products and other whimsical settings. The results are interesting and comical, they definitely define some personality underneath the helmets of these minifigs.
Reader Angus sends word that 10191 Star Justice and 10192 Space Skulls
are now available from the LEGO Shop.
Chris Giddens’ Star Justice:
Mark Sandlin’s Space Skulls:
If that’s not quite your thing, here are a few other options to whet your ABS appetite (and help pay our bills):
Now when was the last time we featured Fabuland here on The Brothers Brick? I can’t remember, but this is a pretty sweet goaty, cave thing by Sir Nadroj.
For another Your Claim to Fame entry, Matt Armstrong takes his inspiration from the sort of characters and monster machines created by the late Ed “Big Daddy” Roth:
The dragon’s tongue is a whimsical touch, and the “hair” streaming out behind the dragon’s head give the whole thing a nice sense of motion.
Jas Nagra‘s lowride hotrods evoke the best of MisterZumbi’s hotrods. For cars at this scale, that’s as high a compliment as I can think of.
ImpreSariO recently posted this nice vignette featuring a monkey playing pranks on a bunch of golfers:
But what’s really unique about this vignette is the golf cart, which has a particularly ingenious SNOT (Studs Not on Top) building technique that connects the front wheels to the hood:
As Klocki points out, those are flex-tubes (which even hardcore purists must admit are okay to cut) inserted into the studs. Brilliant!
Steve Bishop gets in on some miniland action with this great set of Futurama figs:
My favorite is Dr. Zoidberg, so he gets the quote in the post title.
Like several of the LEGO fans we feature here, Alex Eylar (Flickr) is one of those builders whose work we could feature just about every time he posts something. Alex’s latest creations are a rootin’ tootin’ pair of Wild West battle-critters.
The Bullfrog has a very large saw blade:
The Huckleberry skitters along on the tips of rifles:
The LUGPol “Policemen and Thieves” contest has Brickshelfer Crises chasing itty bitty crooks through the streets of an itty bitty city (complete with subway system).

As has been previously blogged here I made a cave racer and asked Jas Nagra to make a variant. As a few people expressed interest in doing their own I posted a couple more and marked the blue one with the design criterion. Well it is now developing into a little league with various racers popping up so I created a flickr group to collect the racers.
EDIT: Some clearer guidelines
