It’s the oldest trick in the book. Simian superhero lures feline antihero in a high-speed chase down a city street. Hero places peel of yellow tropical fruit on the ground. Mayhem and hilarity ensue.
Jordan “SirNadroj” Schwartz puts Monkey Man in a slippery situation with “Monkey Man vs. Black Puma”:
Black Puma and his sweet ride are worth a second look:
Charlie has his Angels…I’ve got my Ninjettes. I think mine would win.
Piotrek kicks off the Indiana Jones contest on Klocki with this great scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade:
The umbrella design is not something I’ve seen before, and the birds are wonderful.
The ever so whimsical and wild Shannon Young adds a new touch to the classic droids from Star Wars, making them totally bad@$$.
…some say in ice. Shannon Ocean (MOCPages) sends minifig scientists to investigate both possibilities in this double vignette:
Shannon’s vignette flips around on a LEGO stand:
The subject of tentacle eruptions is worthy of study in addition to LEGO Communication. The amazing fact about tentacles is that they can spawn from any source, including the ground, the ocean surface, toilet, mecha, house roof, sci-fi pit, ancient cave, unholy shrine, alternative reality surface of dream worlds, and many many other places.
Our most recent example of tentacle eruption is found in Brickshelf user Crises‘ vignette called “Watch Your Bath,” for obvious reasons.
Referenced images from works by Rocko, Hippotam, Devastator, Nannan, Keith Goldman, Nabii, and Lee Jones in no particular order.
Rising star Harrison captures the stark contrast between the sterility of suburbia and the complexity of the title character in Tim Burton’s 1990 film Edward Scissorhands:
Using minifig legs in a creation — in this case as part of a topiary — is quickly becoming a signature of Harrison’s. And the new Speed Racer torso works beautifully for the minifig.
The Silent Hill games are possibly the scariest horror video games out there, and that’s why I like them so much. Here’s a scene from Silent Hill 4, featuring a ghost and the protagonist, Henry Townsend.
Fedde makes good use of clear elements to illustrate the Skeleton Queen’s displeasure in a vassal:

Alex Kahler minimized the Hellfire Dreadnought from Warhammer 40k into a micro vignette at the same time keeping all the defining details, making the model instantly recognizable to fans of the game.
One of the things that got me into Star Wars back in the 90’s was the PC game Dark Forces (released in 1995).
Tim “RogueBantha” Goddard has created a vignette to showcase his microscale Moldy Crow (an older creation):
I wasted far too many hours late at night blowing stormtroopers away with the concussion rifle and avoiding thermal detonators thrown by three-eyed Grans (“Tink tink tink…BOOM!”). Ah, good times…
Tim’s latest is actually a lovely little Theta-class shuttle, shown here with Palpatine and a pair of clones:
