This is just too funny to pass up. A couple weeks before Girl’s Day (Hina-Matsuri) on March 3, families with young girls display a multi-tiered stand of dolls (picture). You can see a minifig-scale version in Nelson Yrizarry’s recent vignette in this picture.
Izzo has turned this idea on its head with his Star Wars Hinamatsuri:
Note the brick-built Jabba the Hutt between Boba Fett and the Gamorrean Guard, as well as the mini-scale AT-AT and AT-STs. Sweet.
Chris Deck is a man after my own heart. Here’s a quote from his FBTB Forums post:
Same rules apply for him as for all my other minifigs, too: No saw, glue or paint.
Ah, sweet, sweet music to my purist ears! ;-) Oh, and here’s the alien Bounty Hunter 4-LOM himself:
I would not have thought to use binoculars on his face. Nice job, Chris!
I recently blogged about Brickshelf user comic’s creations based on Hayao Miyazaki films, promising to highlight his blog here on Pan-Pacific Bricks.
Ichigou and Nigou regularly (sometimes daily) post new stop-motion LEGO Star Wars movies. You have to see them to believe them, so head on over to LEGO INC and check them out for yourself!
The movies are in Windows Media (WMV) format, so you’ll need Windows Media Player, available for free from Microsoft. The movies themselves are in English, with Japanese subtitles. They also maintain a master list of all the movies they’ve posted, broken out by episode. Pretty darn cool!
