Step to the rhythm made out of grey LEGO bricks!

I would say I’m showing my age with that Roni Size reference, but given New Forms came out the year I was born, perhaps it’s just an aging music taste. The reason I’m trotting it out is because a LEGO builder appropriately known as The Maestro has titled this musical build after a UK drum and bass classic: Brown Paper Bag. This appears to be an alternate universe where Dr Frankenstein is a D’n’B junkie, and he’s rigged up his monster with a banging sound system. It features some clever parts use, too – it took me a minute to realise that head is the back of an elephant’s head. I love the tyres for music notes, too!

Virtual pop star Hatsune Miku gets idolized by LEGO character stars

March 10th is MAR10 Day, and by now, we all know what May the 4th signifies, but did you know that March 9th is Miku Day? It’s the day when fans celebrate Hatsune Miku, the vocaloid virtual diva who has taken the world by storm since her debut in 2007, spawning concerts, anime, manga, games, and especially fan works. To celebrate the day, big names in the LEGO Bionicle and character building community came together for a synchronized drop of Miku tributes. Aside from the signature blue hair, the builds couldn’t be more different in style. Each model is inspired by a song featuring Miku’s vocaloid singing. Together they show why Miku has endured as a chameleon-like idol, open to interpretation by fans.

World is Mine

First up is “World is Mine” Miku from alex_mocs. For Miku’s azure hair, Alex blends curvy tubes with ninjago swords. What sets this build apart is the incredible staging on that impressive stack of speakers, evoking a futuristic platform on which the holographic singer can  shine.
