Soft serve toad with a cherry on top

We never get tired of seeing new additions to the Frogust lineup, even in October, and this spin from LEGO’s newest set designer, Nathan Don, is especially sweet. Dubbed ‘Cherritoad’, this frog gives the theme its just desserts with a whimsical design that wouldn’t be out of place in the Pokémon universe. For a LEGO model, the shaping and techniques are incredible. My favorite details are the wide cartoony eyes and the way the ‘cone’ scales upward (we’d love to see what the inside of this build looks like!). You can’t help but love this little guy!

A LEGO frog is not just for Frogust

Frogust may have concluded over a month ago, but is that going to stop us from featuring awesome LEGO frog builds? You bet your bottom brick it won’t! This delightful dancing duo comes from BigBrickStan. The one on the right is in colours we’ve become accustomed to seeing in LEGO: green and white, with some orange highlights and big beady eyes. Why change a winning formula, right? But the use of prints on the left is equally eye-catching, in particular the torso. That part was originally a Dreamzzz turtle head! Even these amphibians are turtles all the way down, it seems…

Frogust: the bridge between Summer Joust and SHIPtember [Feature]

The LEGO Gods, the powers that be has declared this time to be Frogust. The Grand Frog, Simon Liu has been doing frog-related stuff for years now and it has definitely been noticed. It’s now a thing officially that falls conveniently between Summer Joust and SHIPtember and they invite you to join in on all the fun. You may have noticed this regal entry lately as well as this one. Even the local frogs in my neighborhood seem to be into it. Now that we’re at the dog days of summer- or should I say frog days of summer- let’s check out what others have done. Trevor Pearson-Jones starts out strong with, not quite a frog but it’s warty cousin Chief Toad Gambunta. There might be a little something extra in that pipe he’s smoking. Just sayin’.

Not to be outdone by his first entry, Trevor comes back with a tree frog that takes its name literally. This demonstrates Trevor’s ability to to not only develop great character in LEGO bricks, but also demonstrates a mastery of of building natural elements.

Beware the tides of marsh

It’s Frogust, and this build by Áron Gerencsér is paying double tribute to frogs and to the man August is named for. I give you, Frogustust, the founder of the Frogan Empire. He’s looking every bit the ancient king in his bright red sash and laurel wreath. Okay, okay. I know the Ides of March is a Julius Caeser thing, not Augustus. But cut me slack. I doubt this guy’s going to make it through March without croaking.

Did you know it is currently Frogust?

Maestro of LEGO whimsy Maxx Davidson has declared that it’s Frogust and furthermore has stated that he and Grand Poobah co-frog-conspirator Simon Liu will increase their frog-related output. They also encourage you to join their little frog cult should the desire for doing so arise. But was it on purpose that they timed their LEGO frog uprising at the same time our amphibious friends emerge from their summer slumber? This can be confirmed with the uptick of smooshed frogs on my road and the symphony of frog calls that occur nightly. It’s certainly froggy out there! With cool build techniques such as using a LEGO watchband for the prehensile tongue, I’m beginning to see the appeal of Frogust. Plus I long to join in on the croaking symphony and flies are suddenly looking scrumptious. Should I be concerned?
