Inspired by Dave VinZant and Jojo. Not meant to be comprehensive, but it was fun trying to see if I had various minifig parts and accessories in the various colors.
Oh, and Mr. Fleshie didn’t fit in the nice grid above. Hmmm…

This is Spartan 117
Okay, so this isn’t all that original — how many different ways are there, really, to make a purist Master Chief? — but I’ve been waiting to improve my first version for a while. With the new bronze/gold visor in the Mars Mission sets, I finally had the piece I needed.
The Dark Mark by Drew Ellis
Drew Ellis demonstrates what you can do with a host of Death Eater heads:

Guns. Lots of LEGO guns.
Custom or non-LEGO weapons not your thing? Never fear, Nannan Z. has the solution in his “Guns Museum v. 5”:
The Yihaggothan Imperium
Mo-ph III, Emperor of Yihaggotha:
A Yihaggothan commando, equipped for cleansing human-infested worlds:
(Grabbing a batch of new deatheater heads from the Bellevue store’s build-your-own minifig bin, I’ve quickly put them to use. I also purchased a batch of rare and non-production parts from Germany that I wanted to use immediately. The black pikes don’t appear in any sets.)
Memorial Day Minifigs
Today is Memorial Day here in the United States — a holiday that honors the men and women who have died in military service to this country. As a pacifist myself, I hope that someday our leaders will stop increasing the number of people we remember on this day each year.
But as a pragmatist, I also know that there are truly unique times in history when the world must come together to stand against evil. I believe that the Allied effort during World War II (against Nazism in particular) was one such time. With that in mind, I built a squad of WW2 U.S. Army minifigs:

Diving Crew by Simon Jackson
Simon Jackson has been working on an old-style diving crew as a gift for his dad. Following his work on FBTB reveals some interesting customization techniques. Anyway, here’s the completed crew:
And now, young Skywalker...you will die!
Chris Wunz gets to be the first person who uses the new lightning pieces in the 2007 Castle sets for what we all wanted to use them for — force lightning! And the new scared face (also from the new sets) is great for Luke’s expression as well.
Brak and Zorak Minifigs by Mike Crowley
The awesomeness that is Mike “Count Blockula” Crowley strikes again, this time with Brak and Zorak from Space Ghost (and The Brak Show).
New Batman and Villain Minifigs on Eurobricks
The diligent readers over on Eurobricks have found high-res renders of the new Batman minifigs.
Here’s a dark-blue Batman and Scarecrow:
Riddler and Bane:
Very cool. I can’t wait for Bane in particular.
Classic, just classic!
Martin Jaspers combines classic Castle minifigs and a non-production green helmet for a great “Practical Joke”:
