Not exactly, but Izzo says that Belville figures “Have so very few studs, so few studs…” Regardless, he manages to fit a Belville fig into a sweet purple power suit:
While we’re at it, here’s Izzo’s previous powered armor for a Belville fig:
If that’s not enough of a Belville fix for you, a quick search on Flickr will reveal several more interesting creations.
(No. I refuse to add a Belville category. You can’t make me.)
Brickshelf user lovebacu has miniaturized 6086 Black Knight’s Castle (via Klocki):
By the way, whenever I blog someone new, I always try to find their real name, blog, or Web site to give proper credit. In searching the Web for lovebacu’s user name, I discovered several Korean LEGO communities, including BrickInside, where lovebacu seems to be a member (though I’m not sure, since I don’t actually read Korean).
If you’re a reader in Korea and you have suggestions for Korean LEGO blogs or forums we should include in our links, please let us know!
도와줘서 고마워요. ;-)

Toys R Us in Japan is sponsoring an Exo-Force Mashup Contest that challenges builders to combine any two Exo-Force sets into a new mecha. The two example mashups should be familiar to TBB readers — Van-Force and Naoe-Force. Several Japanese builders have already contributed entries.
Kwi-Chang gets things going with a mashup between 7700 Stealth Hunter and 7714 Golden Guardian:
Although I posted it earlier this week without any explanation, here’s Izzo’s combination of two copies of 8105 Iron Condor:
Finally, Sugegasa has promised to get in on the mashup action, but I haven’t seen the result yet.
Brickshelfer modelgal (Mariann Asanuma) puts the studs-not-on-top building techniques that made her dragon famous to good use again with a beautiful lion sculpture:

Well, just one wizard, but a whole horde of bone warriors from Moko.
I love the use of bats in the wizard’s staff:
And the skeleton warriors are oh so shiny with their chrome armor:
