Builder Pate-keetongu is back with some more characters from his ever-expanding cast of characters from the venerable Discworld. This time around it's Granny Weatherwax & Nanny Ogg, and of course I still haven't read the books yet so I have no idea who they are. But as every character is added to his collection, I become more and more fascinated and curious.
I don't know what's more mind boggling or impressive about this latest MOC from Djokson, the crazy clever construction or the fact that it's balancing on it's little tail like that. The Frumblegogg looks like he would be equal parts fascination and nightmare fuel, that is, if he doesn't exist...
I was lucky enough to see these adorable award winning little guys in person at BricksLA. Builder Miro Dudas brought so much character to each of these little animals they seem ready to scamper off. They're all loaded with clever building, but my favorite detail has to be the raccoon's hands.
You don't hear much about the King of Hearts. The Queen of Hearts is of course famous from Alice in Wonderland, but the King just doesn't get much attention. Well builder Likus is here to change all that with this well crafted and badass figure. She might be yelling "off with his head" all the time, but the king here looks like he would just take care of that himself.
I don't know why, but every time I see the name Deadpool Duck, I hear that terrible song by Rick Dees, Disco Duck. And as much as that sucks I can't help but think if this character was in a movie, that would be a pretty awesome theme song if it was done right. Meet Deadpool Duck, who recently shot to AFOL cult status and infamy after becoming one of the San Diego Comic Con exclusive figures. Now he's a fully brick-built figure thanks to builder DOGOD Brick Design.
Sure, you might think he's just some french fried potatoes in a cardboard sleeve, but you'd be wrong, it's Frybot from builder chubbybots! I have no idea what his primary function is, it might be to save us all from plain food with his twin condiment cannons, but it could also just be to look pretty awesome next to a burger. He could be part of a whole elite fast food fighting force, we just don't know.
I don't use Snapchat (and I'm not likely to start) so when I started seeing this little hotdog dude all over the place I had no idea what the heck was going on. But if you start seeing something all over social media, you can bet the wheels are turning in Ochre Jelly's head. And sure enough, here he is, a brick-built hot dog dude. Now, there's a bit of Photoshop trickery going on here, but I'm posting it anyway. All torches and pitchforks may be directed to Iain's house.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Bruce Lee was an ape? Yeah, me either, but now that builder vincentkiew has built Master Kong here it just seems so inevitable. It does make me wonder how the showdown with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's character (now a Giraffe I'm guessing) would play out. I would totally watch that movie.
Way back when Cartoon Network was pretty much on all the time at my house. Luckily for me and my wife back then the content was pretty good. The likes of Dexter's Lab and Samurai Jack kept us as entertained as our young boys. But one of my favorites was Johnny Bravo. The writing, editing and pacing of that show worked so well. This character build by Cha Mi captures his swagger in perfect style.
Today America celebrates 241 years of independence. As we do we should all take a moment to reflect on the founding fathers (brilliantly recreated by the talented Legohaulic here) and give thanks that we're a free country, tea is still delicious and silly wigs have gone out of style. Happy July 4th everyone.
What a coincidence, I was thinking of wearing this exact same outfit to celebrate Independence Day today. Then I remembered that I'm not a cooky conquerer, and that July 4th has nothing to do with vikings (so I'm wearing a shark costume instead, not really). I'll leave this look to One-Eyed Eynar, a fabulous creation by builder lummerlander.
Mrs BrickNerd is a huge Little Mermaid fan, so this one instantly caught my eye. And while it's a departure from the Disney aesthetic I really like builder LEGO 7's take on the Sea King and his princess daughter. The complex layering of multiple LEGO systems gives this MOC a curious combination of solidity and fluidity, something you'd expect from a strong undersea character.
Builder Pate-keetongu is back with the second in his series of goddesses based on the elements. This time it's Kuohu, goddess of streams, waves, oceanic trenches and dew, and she's a beauty. Like his series based on the seasons, each figure is totally unique, and styled in a way that reflects her realm. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest.
This iconic little guy here represents so many milestones in video game history. It all started simply enough, with a big ape tossing barrels at him. That was 36 years ago (zoinks!) and he's never looked better. This version by builder lingonkart looks ready to stomp goombas, take on Bowser and rescue the princess.
“I am Groot”
Nerd confession, I still haven't seen GOTG2, but I will, I promise. In the mean time I'll make due admiring this completely awesome baby Groot by builder Legohaulic. He's loaded with attitude and totally ready to save the galaxy, again.
The Predator was not only a really fun, badass, creative and original story, it had one of the best creature designs ever. I mean for a "dude in a suit", it was absolutely awesome. Builder Takamichi Irie has combined high skill, creative parts use and a clear love of the character to build this guy at a scale I wouldn't have thought possible, at least with this amount of detail.
Widely regarded as the stupidest Disney animated character ever, Hei Hei the chicken from Moana was not only comic relief, but a subtle hero. Sure he's as dumb as the rocks he tends to eat, but as Moana herself pointed out his "strengths lie beneath the surface...deep beneath" and he was there at a critical moment to save the day. Builder LEGO 7 captures his vacant essence perfectly.
According to builder lummerlander, the intent with this MOC was to convey "happy". Not only it is absolutely successful, it makes me happy just looking at it. There's some wonderfully clever building and parts use here, from the hotdog bun ears, wrench eyeglass temples and whatever part is being used for the tongue.
There's no description on these charming images by builder manufacturajarema, so it's been up to me to interpret what I see (a dangerous proposition sometimes). What I see is me, or at least someone like me, an AFOL. This looks like an AFOL residing over his table at an event, proudly displaying his work to the public (and waiting for the next event, let's say blind build).
