/This month's LUGnuts challenge is Anger Management, and is there anything more angry than the Angry Birds? Proudlove brings us this fine example of what happens when you combine poultry with power, and add a pinch of unbridled fury.

Rayman was one of my favorite games on my good old glacier Gameboy Advance (which, by the way, I hacked with a front light...+10 nerd cred). It was just a funky, charming and goofy side scroller with great music and sound effects. I can use those same adjectives to describe this awesome MOC by Swan Dutchman.
I've heard people talking about it, just yesterday in fact. I've seen the ads. I've even heard the rockin' music. But I've never played Splatoon, or even seen the gameplay for that matter (just don't have time to play games anymore) But that doesn't mean I don't dig this MOC. I don't need to know what they're from to appreciate the awesome characters in this build by Nick Brick.
He is the stuff of legends. Think about it, Boba Fett has been tantalizing us since 1979. First we mailed away to get a figure, just to discover his rocket didn't shoot. Then he became our favorite character with only a couple of lines and brief scenes. Then he was dispatched unceremoniously in the sarlaac pit in Jedi, only to have supposedly escaped in the expanded universe. Then his origin was revealed and his voice changed, what the heck? Regardless, he's still a badass, and everyone loves him, especially builder nobu_tary, who created this awesome MOC.
This sword wielding lovely comes to us from builder pb0012. Once again I have no idea where she's from or have any knowledge of what she does. All I do know is I like her style and building a fully posable figure wearing a skirt is no small feat. Click through for many more poses and pictures
Nintendo fans of Metroid should recognize this badass beauty. It's spherically morphing heroine Samus. This is actually a rework of an older MOC by builder Pate-keetongu, and she looks better than ever. The free flowing style and pose-ability of this figure are stunning. You can read more about her and see more pics on his blog.
This is one of my favorite scenes in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Indy and his dad's daring escape via motorcycle and sidecar. The scene has everything, excitement, drama, humor and some great stunts. I mean, who doesn't like watching Nazi's crash motorcycles? Builder Mad physicist perfectly captures the moment with this brilliant MOC.
Fun facts about sheep
Fans of Rooster Teeth's animated series RWBY should recognize these awesome characters from builder MikeVd. Yes, as if Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang Xiao weren't adorable enough, now they're irresistible in chibi form. Which one is your favorite?
Bear with me, I'm still in Star Wars Celebration afterglow, and I blogged this builder just four days ago, but I really wanted to share this. Darth Vader is pretty much the ultimate film villain. I don't know if he's the most recognized, but he's certainly in the top five. This version by Legomichiiiiii has a fantastic blend of basic elements and figure building joints, giving it a cool look. He's missing his cape but I sort of dig that, like he's cast it off to kick some serious light side butt.
Star Wars fever is reaching a fever pitch, and we've still got some 8 months before Episode 7 comes out. I was at Star Wars Celebration and the excitement is infectious. The panel with JJ and Kathleen was already pretty awesome, but everyone lost it when this little guy rolled out. It seems everyone's favorite astromech R2-D2 has some competition as far as adorability goes, because BB-8 is crazy popular already. Builder Legomichiiiiii is so smitten he built him in brick, and the results are pretty amazing.
Here's a huge surprise, I'm a Game of Thrones fan. I listened to the books years ago and when HBO announced they were making it I was skeptical but excited. Well, they've far exceeded my expectations and I can't wait for season five to start tonight. I'm guessing Guy Himber's a fan too, and this MOC is just his way of expressing it. Now as far as Joffrey goes...
About Me:
I'm a self made gazillionaire, mostly from well-timed robberies and murder (but I promise I won't murder you) and a successful entrepreneur. I had a lucrative Kickstarter campaign last year to fund my own brand of daggers called "BakStabr" which are selling like crazy, mostly to crazies. I like long walks on the beach and the smell of baking bread. I also like killing (but I promise I won't kill you) and the feel of leather against my skin.
Status: Single
Age: 148
I'm a: Man
I'm Interested in: Women (and killing, but not you)
Country: Krantuu District, Ceta 9
Ethnicity: Shi'i
Height: 7"2"
Smoking: No
Drinking: Only the blood of my enemies
Killing: Absolutely, but not you
I'm a kid of the 80's. I wore parachute pants, listened to Duran Duran, watched MTV when they had music and kept my eyes on the skies for ICBMs. The proportions and color selection of this sexy bot by DViddy were the first thing that caught my eye. But it's the inclusion of a classic Sony Sport Walkman (which I also had) that put this over the top for me.
I was just thinking about stormtroopers while I was making my tea, then I go to my Flickr feed and see this awesome MOC by umamen. This is fantastic! I love that it is posable, and has different configurations, like a Han Solo head. But the stand out feature to me is that helmet, wow!
If you've spent much time paying Mario or Yoshi games you've had to content with these little trouble makers. It's a Shy Guy, perfectly done by builder Swan Dutchman. Wouldn't it be funny if under the mask they all looked like Shigeru Miyamoto? Ok, not that funny, but an easter egg like that would be pretty epic.
I mean why not? It makes as much sense as a bunny that delivers chocolate eggs right? (no offense Easter Bunny, I'd still like a basket with some LEGO and maybe some Whoppers) This Pikachu from builder zkdlalsxm brings back a lot of memories of my son attempting to "catch 'em all", and he's posable, most impressive.
I'm a bit confused by Builder Arkov's description of this fabulous MOC. He states "it was supposed to be a robot but now it isn't and we're all disappointed somehow". Well, it's only me and my Corgis here, but we totally dig it, so clearly not "all" are disappointed. Best use of the hockey player head I've ever seen as well.
It's so good to see a fantastic builder find that spark again. I just blogged Bill Vollbrecht yesterday, but this is so cool I just have to share (plus it's from Star Wars, what kind of nerd would I be if I overlooked it?) This Gamorrean Pig Guard is classic, studs up figure construction at it's finest, and I totally dig it.
