Kirby

My affection for Nintendo is well known, so it probably comes as no surprise that this is getting blogged. Builder One More Brick has crafted a series of everyone favorite bubblegum lump Kirby. I know, Kirby isn't bubblegum, but to this day that's what he reminds me of. My favorite Kirby title is the one no one else seems to remember, Kirby's Pinball Land.

Doctor Snuggles

I'm afraid I'm not terribly familiar with Doctor Snuggles, it never made it over the pond from the UK. But a couple Google searches reveal just how brilliant this MOC by SuckMyBrick is (as if there was any doubt). While the robot and the mouse are quite good, the good Doctor is positively wonderful.

Yoshi

The topic turned to video games at the studio yesterday and while waxing sentimental I realized that it's been a while since I've seen a cool Nintendo MOC. Thankfully DξβS has come to the rescue with this marvelous Yoshi. Now my problem is I've got a deadline, and I want to play Super Mario Sunshine instead.

Snow Miku 2013

Once again I find myself on the fringes of understanding an anime character. Through some quick searches I can see it has something to do with a festival? I dunno. What I do know is this build by Mike Dung is gorgeous. The contouring and building is excellent, but and posing and photography is what sets this apart. She evokes emotion and draws you in, and that's what characters should do.

Baymax

My family was excited to see Big Hero 6 for many months. Back in July we visited some friends at Walt Disney Animation and were treated to just a glimpse of the film, we were impressed. So on opening day we were at the theater, and we were not disappointed. So this perfect rendition of Baymax from builder lisqr made me smile and think "I am not fast".

Lil Devil

Ho Ho Ho! It's that time of year when that jolly red guy shows up, spreading cheer and...what's that? Ooooh, that guy...nevermind.

Nice build Paul

Y-3 Pilot

We featured nobu_tary's Y-3 Mech Walker a month ago, and at the time I was wondering what or who would be the pilot of such a wild and whimsical ride. Well, I'm afraid I still can't tell you if it's a who or a what, but as you can see, this pilot is rich with detail and character as well.

Yamato Armor Girl

Builder Moko is back with a lovely super deformed version of Yamato Armor Girl. Nothing says cute like pigtails, bangs, big eyes....and a cold steel, armor plated battle-ready gun battery. I'd like to say I knew what this was by just looking, but without Google I'm worthless.

Zoinks!

Saturday mornings when I was a kid were all about cartoons. We would plop down in front of the console TV, polish off a box of Captain Crunch (while destroying the roof of our mouths) and watch all the greats, Bugs Bunny, Captain Caveman, Droopy, etc. etc. But of course one of our favorites was Scooby Doo and the gang, so this MOC by Bill Vollbrecht gives me a warm fuzzy.

Major Tom Rex

Imagine if you will, some sixty million years ago, that a comet or asteroid did not wipe out the dinosaurs. Where would they be now in their evolution? Not the ones that turned into birds, they're useless, I mean some properly big, pointy toothed beasts. Would they have conquered space yet? Builder Adam Dodge has visualized this for us, and I think it would have been pretty impressive. The bigger question is would they have used a puny human to test their equipment in the early days?

EP7 Stormtrooper FTW

During the Creations for Charity live stream, builder Iain Heath slammed out this awesome space guy from some trailer from some movie, Star Trek maybe? I dunno. But it turned out pretty good.

Super Deformed Optimus Prime Is Super Awesome

As I always do I must disclose that I'm not a huge Transformers fan. It came along just a bit late for my childhood and the movies are just dumb. But I totally appreciate some awesome building, and this super deformed Optimus Prime from MacLane fits the bill. Now if someone could super deform Shia LaBeouf...

Spidey

When I was a kid, Spiderman was my favorite super hero (Ironman too, but there were less toys). I have fond memories of racing around the cup-de-sac with my inexplicable Spiderman motorhome with my Mego figure inside. Now nobu_tary has created one of the best MOCs of everyone's favorite web slinger I've ever seen.

Oni-ni-kabanō

I don't know what mythical creature this MOC by Stuart Delahay is inspired by. Nor can I tell you the circumstances which led to this meeting. All I can say is I'm pretty sure the odds are stacked towards the big red guy, just sayin'.

Abzumo

This thing looks right out of a nightmare. It takes skill to make a Bionicle based MOC look this cool, and even more to make it actually look scary. You can practically hear the roar of this sinister looking winged Makuta from builder Pate-keetongu.

Holy Excellent Building Batman!

I think it's safe to call Comic Bricks officially a "thing" now. Monsterbricks is back with another excellent cover MOC, this time a classic Batman cover. The dynamic duo look pretty amazing here, and I never thought I'd think that about a MOC featuring Hero Factory parts.

Miho Nishizumi

Really how can you go wrong with big eyes, a small mouth, fantastic hair...and a tank! Builder MikeVd is back with another anime inspired MOC that I have no idea about, and this morning is too crazy to fake it with Google. OK, I know a little about it, she's from Girls Und Panzer, which brings together the natural combination of teenage girls and WWII weaponry.

Chillin' After A Long Day On Tattooine

The life of a stormtrooper must be difficult. Can you imagine patrolling all day in that armor with those twin suns beating down on you? This must be a welcome part of the evening, just sitting down with a cool drink and contemplating if maybe those were the droids you were looking for. MacLane is back with another genius addition to his couch potato series.

Brick The Internet

Here she is, on the latest cover of PLASTIC Magazine, it's brick-built Kim Kardashian baring all and bricking the internet. No celebrity is safe from the mad building skills of Iain Heath, especially when they go viral or meme. Well played sir, well played.

Snoopy & Woodstock

I read Peanuts as a kid, and I enjoyed the animated shows like Great Pumpkin and Charlie Brown Christmas, but my favorite character was always Snoopy (and pigpen, that guy can dance). When he wasn't tearing up the skies as a WWI Flying Ace he was content to have a nap with his buddy Woodstock. This MOC by Bricksky captures them perfectly.
