Tag Archives: Minifigs

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.

Arrr!!! beep boop

The creatures contest is coming along nicely, but two little dudes caught my eye among the awesome critters in Arpy 2.0’s Flickr photostream. Behold a Pirate and Islander Pantsbot!

Classic-Castler TsoAutTmo has discovered some unlikely parts contain faces when flipped upside down:

Speaking of science — and drooling...

Alan Saunders adds another scientist to his minifig ranks with “Ivan Petrovich Pavlov”:

Ding-a-long! *drool* (Via VignetteBricks.)

Japanese History Vignettes by Enryu

Classic-Castler Enryu recently posted two vignettes inspired by Japanese history.

Here’s “Dappan” (more info in Enryu’s C-C post):

And here’s “Tachioujou” (C-C post):

Jailhouse Rock!

My latest musical minifig is the late, great Elvis Presley in Jailhouse Rock:

Paolo Manzi presents a beautiful photograph collage titled “Rainy Afternoon in the Park”:

Lukas is out to get you.

Well, at the very least Lukas has a rather formidable assassin to send after you:

The claws are very cool, and seem to be constructed of Viking horns attached to those ever-useful binoculars. Excellent.

Today is the longest day of my life.

Speaking of builders on a roll, minifig is at it again as well. Here’s Jack Bauer from the TV show “24”:

Nice effect with the focus. We’re four hours into Season 6 now, and the world is a very different place from the one Jack left behind at the end of last season. Wow.
