Everybody loves LEGO minifigures — well, almost everybody. Minifigs are often the stars of the LEGO models we feature here on The Brothers Brick, but we also feature some amazing custom minifigs you’d never expect to see in an official LEGO set.

Monkey Man takes on Black Puma

It’s the oldest trick in the book. Simian superhero lures feline antihero in a high-speed chase down a city street. Hero places peel of yellow tropical fruit on the ground. Mayhem and hilarity ensue.

Jordan “SirNadroj” Schwartz puts Monkey Man in a slippery situation with “Monkey Man vs. Black Puma”:

Black Puma and his sweet ride are worth a second look:

Dragon Ball Z Kame House and minifigs

Before you look at the pretty picture:
Q: Is this set for sale?
A: This is not an official set from LEGO, and no, it’s not for sale.

Minific customization master Nick (NickGreat) recently built the Kame House from Dragonball Z in a pseudo LEGO set style. Unfortunately this is the only picture I can find:

But meanwhile, check out Nick’s selection of the highest quality custom Dragonball Z character minifigs:

Monkey Man

Of all the combinations of official and non-custom minifig parts, there’s one that makes Monkey Man. Take a look at this wacky minifig by Jordan Schwartz (Sir Nadroj)

Not the droids you’re expecting

The ever so whimsical and wild Shannon Young adds a new touch to the classic droids from Star Wars, making them totally bad@$$.

They rise from the mud

Justin Vaughn (Mainman) put good use to some brown Brickarms weapons by putting together a muddy vignette of two soldiers wading their way through the thick mush.

Before he came down here, it never snowed...

Rising star Harrison captures the stark contrast between the sterility of suburbia and the complexity of the title character in Tim Burton’s 1990 film Edward Scissorhands:

Using minifig legs in a creation — in this case as part of a topiary — is quickly becoming a signature of Harrison’s. And the new Speed Racer torso works beautifully for the minifig.

Please note that any appearance of danger is merely a device to enhance your testing experience.

If you haven’t seen the recent Cave Racer fad taking over LEGO areas of Flickr, you must be living under a rock.  If you haven’t played (or at least recognize) the epic game Portal, you’ve definitely been living under a rock.

Well, while trying to survive school, I decided to try my hand at a Cave Racer…with a twist.

Chocobricks – sumptuous

Flickr member Lamanda2 used the ice brick tray to make chocolate bricks, but it looks like the minifigs got to them first!

Minifig Spawn

My Spawn minifig was inspired by a conversation I had a while back with Drew Ellis. He suggested Bane from 7787 The Bat-Tank would make an excellent Spawn. I’m inclined to agree:
