LEGO Trogdor comes in the night to burninate your peasants

In the pantheon of great dragons, you have Smaug, Falcor, King Gidorah, Toothless, and of course,   Puff the Magic, but all of these legendary beasts pale in comparison to the greatest dragon-man of all: Trogdor, the Burninator. Trogdor was introduced to the world back in 2001 with Strongbad Email #58, one of the greatest memes to arise from the pre-social media internet. Builder Grant Holyoak recreates Trogdor with all of the dragon’s essential features – smoke, fire, wing-a-lings, spinedies, and angry eyebrows. He even includes peasants mid-burninating. My only nitpick is that there aren’t enough consummate Vs!

“Holy crap!” Are we back in 2001?

Remember the good old days where you’d hop on AIM and chat with all your friends about the latest episode of Homestar Runner? Flickr user EdContradictory sure does with this excellent Strong Bad LEGO Lucha mask! The shaping is perfect, the colors are spot-on, and every time I look at it, I can’t help but hear the dulcet tones of SB reading through another email on his Compy 386.

Strong Bad!

I especially like the open-mouth option for the build, evoking that classic Flash animation style from the series. This view also shows off the detailed layering of angled plates used to round out the mask. I have to admit, though, I would love to see the rest of Strong Bad built out. In any case, I think the Brothers Chaps would be quite proud.

Also Strong Bad!
