Spooky, ooky, with the most eloquent of moans, Lurch is more than a butler in the Addams household – he’s family. mc tung celebrates Halloween with a lumbering LEGO tribute to lovable Lurch. The builder plays with the Frankenstein association with Lurch’s ears jutting out like the Monster’s bolts. Why is Lurch crying? Maybe he misses Wednesday now that she’s sharing a room with Enid at Nevermore Academy. At least Thing is here to walk Lurch home to the microscale Addams house .

Thanks to her recent series, Wednesday Addams has become the latest “It Girl” – or rather “Itt Girl.” And her gothic style is perfectly captured here in LEGO by builder Saird15. The character design is immediately recognizable, with brilliant shaping of the uniform. The pair of wedge plates for the lapels makes for quite the nice touch. Dark gray stripes help to break up Wednesday’s dress, as do the hints of white poking through her uniform. I absolutely love the technique used here for her braids – a simple solution to a complex problem in character emulation. But her parasol absolutely takes the cake! Utilizing a network of cloth bat wings, Saird15 is able to create a proper umbrella in the right scale for their brick-build Addams. Such an impressive design!
