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.

Life down there is just a strange illusion...

Izzo populates his “Heavy Metal Archive” with the mascot from Iron Maiden, “Eddie”:

Samara the Witch

Eurobricks member and Brickshelfer “Apophis Voo” presents Samara the Witch. Given that she’s a minifig, I suspect she weighs less than a duck:

What I like about Samara is that Apophis has combined bits and pieces from lots of different themes to create an awesome fantasy minifig. I also think this is the first time I’ve seen Draco Malfoy’s head used on a female fig.

Lunatic on a Pogo Stick

Well, he might not actually be crazy, but he sure does bounce around a lot. It’s Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers (by Izzo)!

X-Rayed LEGO

Have you ever wondered what an X-ray of LEGO would look like? Neither have I, which is why Brickshelfer Menoriel’s new gallery of ghostly images is so fascinating. Here’s what Obi-Wan and Darth look like under those crazy invisible rays (click for more):

A murder of silhouette crows...

I don’t know yet if this is a trend, but another builder making musical minifigs can’t be a bad thing! Matt Zitron joins Izzo by creating two singer/actors — Tom Waits and Andre 3000:

I know you planned it…

Everybody’s looking for something...

Izzo wanted to build Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics in “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).” Who am I to disagree?

Moko’s FF Characters: Safer Sephiroth and Vivi

I thought Moko had finished his series of Final Fantasy VII characters, but apparently not! Recent updates include the final boss of the game, as well as one of my favorite characters from my favorite FF game, Final Fantasy IX.

Here’s Safer Sephiroth:

And the adorably clumsy Vivi:

Moko’s Cyborgs, Villains, Goblins, and Zombies

I like it when Moko gets on a minifig-building kick. From Final Fantasy characters (separate post coming up in a minute) to minifigs of his own design, Moko is a highly original builder.

A couple of cyborgs:

An awesome villainous minifig with what appears to be a giant mechanical hand:

Some goblins and zombies:

I will kill you!

Izzo melds music and movies with his most recent minifig, with Sting as the evil Feyd-Rautha in David Lynch’s Dune (1984):

A Processional of Minifig Catholics

Michael Jasper should by now be well known to readers of this blog. In his latest update, Michael has posted a highly detailed processional of (what I assume to be) a Catholic cardinal, priests, choir boys, and nuns. The whole scene is surrounded by dozens of other unique minifigs playing out their own little dramas:

To make sure you don’t miss any of the mini-scenes Martin has included in the background of his processional, I’ll link to the first picture instead of the usual gallery. Click the Next links to see lots of great surprises.

Men from Mars and an Unusual Girl

Izzo has great taste in music. Oh, and he makes nice minifigs too.

The Mars Volta demonstrate that they’re not in the least mute:

Cyndi Lauper shows her true colors:
