Erik Cruz improves on the official General Grievous minifig with longer limbs and a bigger (custom) cape by MMCB:

Real men (and T-800s) wear black!
Decent weather afforded me the opportunity to photograph lots of the minifigs that have been waiting in piles around our living room. I’m too impatient to dole them out slowly, so I uploaded them all at once, which obligates me to blog ’em all, I suppose. ;-) Anyway…
Here are Agent J and Agent K from Men in Black:
T-800 Model 101 (as played by the Governor of California) from The Terminator (with weapons by BrickArms):
Louie Louie!
Jared Burks collaborates with another great customizer, NickGreat, to create the Devaronian Mos Eisley Cantina denizen Labria (nicknamed “Louie” during production):
4 8 15 16 23 42 = LEGO Lost
Jon Furman combines cool post-processing on his photo with an excellent rendition of the scene in which Locke discovers the Hatch in J.J. Abrams’ “Lost”.
Do minifigs dream of plastic sheep?
Kaitimar (whose Zoomer we featured a few days ago) has posted another levitating vehicle. This one’s a micro-Spinner from Blade Runner:
(Via MicroBricks. Sorry Bruce, your post title was so perfect I couldn’t help but borrow it for my own post here. :-D )
This is not the Bob Loblaw Law Blog...
But Flickr user baby_elephant has a funny batch of minifigs inspired by Arrested Development (with the Bluth company vehicle, naturally):

Links to the brickfilms can be found in the link above. A small plug: my brickfilm Beast (watch it here on YouTube), second-place winner in the Brickfilms.com Fame, Infamy and Glory contest, has been nominated for Best Sound Design. I’m honored, but also amused. I hated doing the sound for Beast, especially since I was working with Windows Movie Maker 2 at the time, and had to struggle with only one audio track.
The BAMPAs have a seperate website, but it hasn’t been updated in a while.
Nute Gunray by Moko
Though nearly everybody has used the head from Frankenstein’s Monster as Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray’s head, everyone seems to struggle with his headdress/hat. Moko also says he struggled, but I think Nute’s pointy hat thingie turned out rather well:
And a bonus Episode I minifig — a Naboo Security Force soldier:

LEGO 10182 Cafe Corner speed build video
Yay! Two days ago I came home from PoliSci and found a rather large package from Connecticut waiting for me on the doorstep! I’m still busy taking detailed pictures and writing up a review, but in the meantime enjoy this time laspe video of me building the greatest LEGO set ever. Over three hours compressed into five and a half minutes.
Bith and Ithorian Minifigs by Moko
Looks like Moko’s officially working on a series. This time, it’s some of the most challenging characters from the Star Wars universe — the aliens.
His latest minifigs include a Bith musician from the Mos Eisley Cantina (not yet on Brickshelf):
And the Ithorian Momaw Nadon, also from the Cantina scene in A New Hope:
Jedi Master Shaak Ti by Moko
I always thought Shaak Ti was a pretty cool-looking Jedi, but never figured out how to make a brick-built version of her. Trust Moko to figure it out:
