Finnish builder Eero Okkonen belongs in the pantheon of great builders. His innovative models mix System, Bionicle, and Constraction parts in mind-bending ways to create expressive characters, whether from beloved books and games or fully sprung from Eero’s imagination. Eero’s work has been showcased in the LEGO House Masterpiece Gallery, and he’s been a regular contributor to New Elementary, putting new parts through their paces and giving an AFOL perspective on new sets. Eero has been documenting his builds on the Cyclopic Bricks blog since 2012, allowing his journey as a builder to inspire countless others.

Dwalin and Balin...brother dwarves in LEGO form

Dwalin and Balin are probably my two favorite dwarves from The Hobbit and Eero Okkonen recreated them perfectly. There is a plethora of cool details in both figures but the pattern on Balin’s shirt is incredible.

LEGO Big Daddy from Bioshock

Eero Okkonen (Pate-keetongu) did a fantastic job of making Bioshock’s iconic Big Daddy. The use of the large Technic ball on the head is perfect.

Prepare to be Pillaged!

This awesome creation by Eero Okkonen shows just how awesome Bionicle and Hero Factory based figures can be. This fierce Viking warrior named Ragnfast stands ready to do battle with both his axe and his mug.

And here’s a close up of the other side of Ragnfast’s shield.
