Dirk VH (dm_meister) has created a large-scale sculpture of Strong Bad from Homestar Runner.
Dirk even added details like the lacing on the back of Strong Bad’s luchador mask, along with photos of the internal structure that keeps LEGO Strong Bad…strong.
See more photos of Strong Bad in Dirk’s photostream on Flickr.
The first LEGO creation that Jon Hall has posted to Flickr is a LEGO version of the ornithopter, or “flaptter”, from the Miyazaki film Laputa: Castle in the Sky:
I love the shape, and the use of the clear canopies as wings is excellent.
Thanks for the tip, Horace Cheng! Don’t miss Horace’s own Laputa flaptter here on The Brothers Brick.
Alan Yap sent us a link to his LEGO version of Springer, one of the Triple Changers from the Transformers comics and TV show:
I don’t want to spoil the surprise, so be sure to check out the full gallery on Brickshelf and Alan’s description on MOCpages.

Vincent Cheung spent just 10 nights to build this amazing creation from the anime series Space Battleship Yamato. The model measures about 150 studs long, that’s the equivalent of four feet.

Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor is a fairly recent anime series that has characters with that uniquely anime style, here turned into a fantastic LEGO creation by Shawn Snyder:
Howl’s Moving Castle is easily my favorite Miyazaki film of the last 10 years or so. I never imagined the enormous castle could be shrunk down to microscale, but Horace Cheng does it with detail to spare.
It has been many months since we saw teaser pictures of the Arvo Brothers‘ Doll, and now the builders have finally uploaded a complete frontal shot of the amazing model.
