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.

More pictures of 9247 Community Workers

Over at I Love Cute LEGO! mumu has posted that he purchased the 2006 version of 9247 Community Workers (my previous post, which for some reason isn’t showing up on the main page or archives — weird).

Here’s the Brickshelf folder (when public), and click on over to mumu’s original post for deep-links in the meantime.

In addition to the two brown dogs, there are a couple note-worthy elements. Mumu’s close-up shots show a nice pin-stripe suit design and a tan, pocketed shirt design (different from the Star Wars version) I hadn’t seen before. I’m going to disagree with mumu about the all-smiley cast, though. I’m a fan of “face diversity,” and I’m also a bit disappointed that this set doesn’t have the rarish wavy black hair that was in the 2005 version. Overall though, a nice set of town minifigs.

Joe Kent

Name: Joe Kent
Occupation: Unemployed Boeing machinist.
Interests: The Sonics, the Sounders, the Mariners, the Storm, the Thunderbirds, and the SEAHAWKS!!!
Notes: Currently worried that the Sonics will leave Seattle (that jersey he’s wearing was expensive!), and the fact that the Hawks get no respect.

Edit (2/6/06): Stupid refs. That is all I have to say. Harumph.

Sam Hui, Hong Kong Music Legend

In the spirit of true Pan-Pacific cooBrickation, I’d like to present creations by non-Japanese builders from other parts of Asia and the Pacific Rim whenever possible.

Brickshelf user Legokinsfolk presents a scene featuring legendary singer Sam Hui:

Caption: “Sam Hui sings a song telling the student should not have dating too early and not play football so often, they should study hard.”

Patrick J. Robertscum

Name: Patrick J. Robertscum
Occupation: Televangelist and paragon of moral outrage.
Interests: Blaming hurricanes on gays. Blaming terrorist acts on Hollywood. Bilking old ladies of their life savings. Railing against miscegenation. Spreading God’s love to people everywhere.

The Crew of the Pequod II

Names: Bartholemew O’Hurlahey and Mario Fratelli
Occupation: Captain and first mate of the fishing vessel Pequod II
Notes: Capt. Bart fancies himself the long-lost descendent of Herman Melville’s Capt. Ahab. He insists on carrying around a harpoon, even though they mainly catch herring, with a little cod and pollack thrown in. He also affects a limp, despite being in peak physical condition. Whenever he spots another boat on the horizon, he screams at Mario that it’s “the white whale!!!” and forces him to haul in the empty nets and give chase. Mario just sighs and rolls his eyes, muttering under his breath that Huckleberry Finn is a better candidate for canonization as the Great American Novel anyway… Sometimes when Mario is drunk, he gets angry at Capt. Bart and reminds him that Capt. Ahab is “fictional, you crazy coot!” He then breaks down sobbing that he misses his long-lost brother, who dresses in green instead of red.

Casey Lundquist

Name: Casey Lundquist
Occupation: Beach bum.
Interests: Backdooring a gnarly tube. Catching air. Hanging with the brahs. Trying not to cluck. Going off.

First, the flamethrower:

And the sniper rifle:
