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.

Moko’s FF7 Characters: Barret and Aeris

For a creative approach to making Final Fantasy VII characters, I didn’t think Moko could top his banana-coiffed Cloud, but here’s Barret:

And Aeris rounds out Moko’s latest pair of figs:

Moko’s FF7 Characters: Cid and Tifa

Moko continues his series of Final Fantasy VII characters with Cid and Tifa (check out Cloud and Sephiroth):

Here’s Cid:

And here’s Tifa:

Banana-Head Cloud!

Moko says he’s been playing Final Fantasy VII recently.

Here are his versions of Cloud (with awesomely spiky banana hair!!!):

And Sephiroth:

Scott Whitesell has posted a nice little set of World War II minifigs and equipment (via his new blog, Scotty’s Brick Chronicle):

Sugegasa Rides the Air

Mecha master Sugegasa’s dozens of “unmanned control experiment machines” are generally controlled from afar by adorable minifig girls. According to his most recent blog post, this sometimes presents a bit of a problem:

At first, the girl simply ran after the unmanned machine, calling out instructions, but being too close proved death-defyingly dangerous, and ambient noise also sometimes prevented her commands from reaching the mecha. So, with parts she had lying around, the girl built a vehicle with enough speed to keep up with the mecha and a transmitter to clearly relay her voice commands from a safe distance.

Now, I’m generally not a fan of convoluted backstories for LEGO creations, but that is just too awesome not to pass on to all of you English-speaking LEGO fans.

Without further ado, here’s Sugegas’s flight-board:

Minifigs of Mordor – custom Lord of the Rings minifigs

I made so many Lord of the Rings minifigs that I have to split them into two posts. Minifigs of Middle Earth was the first, and you’re reading the second, rather darker post.

The Dark Lord Sauron:

Sauron’s Ringwraiths, or Nazgul:

Saruman’s Uruk-Hai:

A bunch of motley goblins, or orcs:

Some evil men, the Haradrim:

A Haradrim oliphaunt-driver, and Grima Wormtongue:

And finally, Gollum:

Minifigs of Middle Earth – custom Lord of the Rings minifigs

Well, I got stuck trying to make more musical minifigs, so I’ve revamped the Lord of the Rings minifigs I uploaded to Brickshelf a couple summers ago.

First up, the Fellowship (Flickr photoset includes individual shots and alternate versions):

Arwen and Elrond:

Galadriel and Bilbo Baggins:

Faramir and Eowyn:

Theoden and Eomer:

Next up, Minifigs of Mordor!

Rock on, my little Norse dudes!

How cool is that?

Jonathan Coulton is a musician who releases his songs under a Creative Commons license, just as I do with my LEGO pictures and blog content. The idea is that you allow other people to use your creations (music, artwork, text, etc.) as part of their own creative work. The type of CC license Jonathan and I use is called Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5. That means you can copy and redistribute my work, as long as you give me credit, don’t use it for commercial purposes, and re-release your work under the same license.

When I changed my blog content and LEGO pictures from a standard copyright to a Creative Commons license, I never thought someone would actually use it, so it’s nice to know the system works. Thanks to Classic-Castler Sir Dillon for sending me a link to the video!

Now I’m off to build Jonathan in minifig form so he can join the rest of my musical minifigs. ;-)

I work alone, understand? Alone.

Nelson Yrizarry mentioned recently that he has a bit of extra time on his hands. This is a wonderful thing for all of us, because he’s posted sixteen vignettes based on Spider-Man (I’m hoping Nelson will re-post some of the great minifigs separately).

Possibly lost in the Spider-Vig hubbub is a wonderful vignette based on the 1994 movie The Professional starring French actor Jean Reno, alongside Natalie Portman in her debut role (click for gallery):
