Joel Baker constructed a sculpture of the scene from Toy Story where Sid pulls out Woody and Buzz at the claw crane. Say, if there were no glass, would you still have to pay and use the claw? Check out more views on Joel’s Flickr set.
This giant Buzz goes to infinity and beyond.
Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Actually this giant Buzz, by Johnny Tang is very well done. The articulation, the sand-green highlights, the square-jawed chin. The green army men are just icing on the cake. Woody doesn’t stand a chance against this space toy!
Edit: I posted this earlier and missed the fact that much of the sand-green and lime green is MegaBloks. There may be other MegaBloks that I have missed as well. What is your opinion of creations that use clone brands? Personally, I feel the accomplishment is cheapened. What are your thoughts?
Dillon has hit a home run with his rendition of the Inventor’s house from 9. What a spindly beauty! I would be afraid to move it…
Thanks to Chris Malloy for the heads up.
Here is one that I missed. TKH did a superb job of capturing the saucy awesomeness that is Jessie.
Thanks to The Living Brick for catching this.
A friend pointed out this hidden little gem inside one of the Prince of Persia LEGO display cases at Comic-Con International. Sure looks like a prototype Captain Jack from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Thanks for the tip, Bruno!
UPDATE: Julie Stern from LEGO Brand Relations tells The Brothers Brick, “Yes, that is a pirate among the prince of Persia sets. Stay tuned for more details surrounding this 2011 line.”
As much as we try not to populate the blog with every creation by a single builder, it’s difficult when that builder keeps making blogworthy MOCs from different themes each time. Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) recently ventured into the world of Disney with his Cruella DeVille’s Rolls Royce. As usual, Tyler’s minifigs are also innovative; I never made the connection that Two-Face’s hair also doubles for the hairpiece of this classic Disney villain.
For the record, I purposely refrained from blogging Tyler’s Organibot for the above reason. You should still check it out if you haven’t seen it.
Rick Theroux‘s minifig scale Tumbler rivals the one by Brent Waller. The giant balloon tires and the windshield decals are two of my favorite details on this creation. It’s always a bonus to know that Batman can sit comfortably at the controls.
Thanks for the tip, eclipseGrafx!
Iain Heath is a building fool — he’s created a myriad of iconic pieces of some of Hayao Miyazaki‘s greatest films. But now he’s gone and built the master himself:
All of these are scheduled to make an appearance at BrickCon, as part of the Big in Japan display!
Alex Schranz (Orion Pax) did a stunning job of rendering the Ectomobile from Ghostbusters in Lego. This beauty was completed in only two days and features some shiny chrome elements. He says it’s a keeper, and who couldn’t agree more?
Alex Eylar (Profound Whatever) has been on a building tear lately, posting more LEGO creations than we can keep up with. One of my favorites so far is also one of the simplest — a minion from the upcoming movie Despicable Me.
As much as I love the minions — and Alex’s LEGO rendition of one — I’m less interested in seeing the movie, especially after seeing the full trailer before Toy Story 3. Bungling supervillains fighting each other? Yes. Three adorable girls who bring the goodness out in a supervillain, who actually has a heart of gold? No.
Like NBC executives, Fox executives are morons. Everyone knows that. Thankfully, Comedy Central knows what it’s doing, which means we all get to enjoy Futurama again.
Everyone also knows that no pop culture phenomenon would be complete without CubeDudes. Thankfully, Andrew Lee is there to fill the gap.
Sweet zombie Jesus indeed, The Living Brick.
Matt De Lanoy (Pepa Quin) presents the world of Futurama with his New New York layout that features many iconic buildings from the cartoon. Creation of the display spanned two years, which you may even remember our post of the Planet Express in 2008. The full layout measures almost 5’X7′ and there’s tons of details worth checking out, including Matt getting his head in the gutter.
You can see all photos and detail shots in Matt’s Futurama collection on Flickr. Oh, and don’t forget that new episodes air tonight on Comedy Central!
