Little Shop of Horrors meets LEGO Belville as Audrey II turns over a new leaf

LEGO’s Belville dolls are such strange and wonderful creations – a product of the late ’90s that looks like they came from a much earlier decade – which is probably why the dolls work so well in the amazing nostalgia-steeped dioramas of Victoria Worsley. They’re especially perfect in Victoria’s homage to ’60s set Little Shop of Horrors where she depicts the climactic confrontation as Seymore suddenly stands up to the alien plant. The larger scale allows ample space for potted plants, and of course, the diva plant herself, Audrey II. Hero Factory cocoon shells work perfectly for the petals around Audrey II’s mouth.

Flip the scene around and you can see what happened to demented dentist Orin Scrivello. His ride is the conveniently scaled Creator 3-in-1 Vintage Motorcycle. It’s great to see the Fabuland garbage bin is capable of holding severed limbs.

Victoria’s model is currently on display in the lobby of the LEGO Campus in Billund, along with her darkly delightful Belville tribute to the wives of Henry VIII.

From Sunnydale to Belville, Bricktoria’s LEGO library slays

If you’ve been lucky enough to visit LEGO House over the past year, then you probably saw the incredible Belville-scale dioramas of Victoria Worsley on display at the Masterpiece Gallery. Victoria’s latest doll-scale creation is a bustling library where young readers busy themselves among the stacks.

As much as I love minifgs, there’s something charming about LEGO’s larger family of Belville figures that were produced between 1994 and 2009. These days, the accessories and textiles from the line show up in MOCs from builders looking to push the envelope with creative parts use, but very few builders base their creations around the dolls themselves. It’s magical to see the dolls transported into immersive LEGO scenes the way that “Bricktoria” does.

The library is such a cozy, innocent place. And yet there’s something familiar about the U-shaped design, the crimson stairs… and that print of a counting… vampire?

Guitar lick. It’s Buffy time, after the jump!
