This red-footed dragon, by Mike Nieves is smoking hot. The use of Hero Factory pieces is superb and the articulation really gives it an “alive” look.

¡Ay, chihuahua!
We’ve spent quite a bit of time in the small dog area at the park lately with Josie and our new pug Ollie, who’s doing his best to set himself apart from the distinguished life and career of the late, great Mr. Pugsly. I’ve seen more chihuahuas in the last few weeks than I’d seen for years before, so I can testify to the absolute accuracy of this wonderful pup by edulyoung — from the perky ears and shiny little bug eyes to the tiny stick legs.

Aquestrian Metal
This piece of work by David Collins (intrond) fits in a unique genre that I can’t decide. It looks like a mix between a spaceship and a mechanical creature. The color blocking and the multifaceted chunks are pleasing to look at. A few stickers add the vital details.
Goons, hired goons
Rong Yiren is no stranger to great character design but these goons manage to have personality with absolutely no motion and minimal detail. They are reminiscent of 8bit characters of old.
Fu-Bugchu
Some aliens might be good mainly for getting splatter kills, but others look like you might want to play a nice game of contract bridge with them instead. I like to think this mustachioed alien by Nathan Proudlove has the sophistication to represent the latter. Or he might just know Kung Fu and be more interested in kicking your butt. Who’s to say?
It gives me the jibblies
Seeking whom it may devour
This is ‘Skull’s Deamon’ and it has a rather freaky look to it, if you ask me, which you didn’t. David has achieved that unique look by building this monstrosity out of virtually nothing but Star Wars battle droid pieces. I think I’m going to have nightmares tonight.
LEGO Lava Dragon lights my fire
This is one that I’ve been meaning to post on here for a bit now. Finally got a fire lit under me, so here it is. Sean and Steph Mayo are quickly coming to forefront in the adult lego community and this one is just another feather in their collective cap. I could make a comment about my burning love for this creation but I’ll resist…somewhat.
LEGO dragon breathes real fire
After building a creation that uses real water, Aaron Amatnieks (akama1_lego) sets out to do what no one has ever done – to use fire in a Lego creation, and I’m not talking about flame pieces. Kids, don’t try this at home!
They’re eating the guests, sir.
George Panteleon’s piranhas may not actually be eating the guests but they look like they are capable of it. There is a lot to love in this viciously fishy build. This is one of those creations that makes me want to build it myself. I think I need some hanging about my desk to keep pesky co-workers away.
Enter the Scorpion!
Sean and Steph Mayo have issued giant scorpions to their minifigs. After all, why not? Everyone rides horses. If you want to make an entrance, nothing says “Look at me!” like a giant scorpion.
Brick-built Ostrich
This little ostrich, by Brick Monster, is adorable. I’m still amazed when a builder is able to make something so recognizable out of so few pieces. Well-played, sir!
