Phew! Just when I thought I didn’t have anything to post today, Lukas saves the day with a trio of space marines:
Here they are in battle:

Sugegasa’s Fig-10
Gilligan, Malcolm, and Robot B9 minifigs
What a great day for minifigs! (There’s more coming soon.) Janey Cook has updated her minifig folder, and since I haven’t seen this folder before myself, they’re all new to me!
First up, the crew and passengers of the S.S. Minnow from the classic TV show Gilligan’s Island:
In the middle of this batch, naturally, the world’s most dysfunctional family, from Malcolm in the Middle:
Finally, the Robinsons and fellow crewmembers of the Jupiter 2 — from another classic TV show, Lost in Space:
Although Janey says there are a few torso stickers among the figs, these are overall a great collection of purist(ish) minifigs! Be sure to check out the full gallery for even more sets, including characters from Clue, Inspector Gadget, The Brady Bunch, and others.
Mononoke, Gundam, and Sailor Moon
Moko has been updating his minifigs fairly regularly, and I’ve missed a couple, so here’s a nice batch of anime-themed minifigs.
From director Hayao Miyazaki’s film Princess Mononoke, first up we have Ashitaka and San:
And some soldiers from the same film:
Next, a minifig dressed as Gundam:
Finally, a character from Sailer Moon (sorry, I have no knowledge of the show whatsoever):
Whoa — this hall is dangerous!
I was never a fan of the Resident Evil games (the controls were just too nightmarishly clumsy). But who cares — I always like to see minifigs based on video games. Richard McCarthy recently posted a batch of cool minifigs based on the series.
Here’s the S.T.A.R.S Alpha team from the original Resident Evil:
And the crew from Resident Evil 4:
Of Monks and Treasure Guards
Hurray! marakoeschtra has added two more castle characters — an “illuminator” and two “treasure guards”:
Tomb Raider: The LEGO Revelation
Brickshelf user Legokinsfolk (featured several times over on PPB) recently posted a Lara Croft minifig that uses Moko’s leg design and a rubber-band bikini design I’ve seen several other builders use. Together, they make an immediately recognizable Lara:
And since I never posted my own Lara Croft minifig here on DB, here she is:
Minifig Tom Cruise
Those of you looking for a LEGO Katie Holmes might be disappointed, but Brickshelf user Jimmy Lai has posted a cool minifig version of Tom Cruise in The Last Samurai:
And check out Jimmy’s awesome movie poster:
What the heck?!
Without any explanation (other than to celebrate the end of midterms), Moko just posted these:
Weird, just weird. Still, pretty interesting.
Lukas’ Jade Empire Minifigs
I posted some “Eastern Block” minifigs a while ago, intending to follow up with minifigs from other fan-created Space factions, such as “3vil,” “Pre-Classic Space,” and “Jade Empire.” I never got around to it, but Flickrite and LEGO blogger Lukas has posted some cool Jade Empire minifigs.
Here’s an officer:
And the officer with some troops, including a sweet space ninja:
Of Gold Carriers and Bush Robbers
It’s been a while, but marakoeschtra has updated his castle characters with a pair of “gold carriers” and a “bush robber”:
Superman. Meh.
“Meh” pretty much sums up my current feelings toward Superman. Smallville has been less than entertaining for a couple seasons now, I’m not especially stoked about the upcoming movie, and then there’s this. So, Superman = “Meh.”
In that spirit, here’s my Superman minifig, about which I feel pretty “Meh” (he’s missing something fairly important, after all):
