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.

Monkeys Love Science!

A less disturbing monkey-themed creation, this one by Michael Jasper, is this scene featuring Charles Darwin:

Mmmm … science… *zzzzzz*

I’m starting to notice a beautiful trend in LEGO building on Flickr lately — LEGO as fine art.

Lukas is out to get you.

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

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.

I love it when Martin Jaspers gets on a roll. Here’s another update to his castle characters, a macabre crew of dark skeletons:

(As always, Martin only uses real, unmodified LEGO parts — even if they’re in unusual colors.)
