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:
Moko’s Futuristic Bike
Moko has updated one of his old Brickshelf entries to create a cool, futuristic bike:
Here’s Moko’s inspiration for this bike:
I see the resemblance, but they’re very distinct, and both interesting in their own way (one cool, the other cute).
(A side not for those of you following along at home: Moko tends to upload pictures in batches to Brickshelf, but he’s always building new stuff. If you want to see his latest creations, check out his blog, “The LEGO Way.” It’s in Japanese, but like so many other Japanese LEGO blogs there are lots of pictures.)
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):
Shizuka Arakawa by Moko
The figure skating World Championships are apparently going on right now, and Moko was inspired to create 2006 Winter Olympic gold medalist Shizuka Arakawa as a LEGO minifig:
Nice skates!

Moko’s “Baikinman”
The popular Japanese cartoon “Anpanman” features a self-sacrificing superhero who has a head made of bread filled with bean jam. You with me so far? Anpanman fights starvation and hunger everywhere. His arch-nemesis is an evil space-germ named Baikinman (“baikin” means germ). Behold the animated GIF!
Moko has graced us with a version of Baikinman to rival all other LEGO space-germs:
Moko doesn’t seem to think much of this new creation, but I personally think it’s very accurate — and adorable! Now, let’s hope Moko makes our favorite edible superhero as well. Go Anpanman, go!
Edit (12/27/05): I must have missed it, but Moko did indeed create an Anpanman figure (thumbnails are links):
Tasty!
Highland Berserker by Anthony Sava (with Moko’s Legs)
Moko recently posted pictures of a new idea for articulated legs on a minifig:
Classic-Castler Anthony Sava has combined this building technique with a Viking head and torso, Ron Weasley’s hair, and grill pieces in just the right colors to create a highly amusing Highland Berserker:
Well, he’s pretty small, so it would probably be fairly easy to take his life (just pull his head off with your fingers), but I imagine taking his freedom would be a bit more challenging…
Baby Gundam by MOKO
This is the saddest, cutest little Gundam I have ever seen:
EDIT (11/1/05): Moko has titled this creation “Gundam without vigour.” I assume this is a translation of the Japanese “Genki nai Gundam” (「元気ないガンダム」). The word “genki” can mean several things in Japanese, including “energy,” “spirit,” “health,” and “cheerfulness.” I think the last one is the most correct in this context, so “Depressed Gundam” or “Gundam with the Blues” is probably a more accurate translation. Hope that doesn’t sound too pedantic… I fault Moko’s dictionary. ;-)
