Who knew the plants would be such allies when the zombies attacked? And who knew that so many people could be so entertained by anthropomorphized vegetation doing battle with formerly living cartoon humans? And who knew that brick-build personifications of said vegetation could be so adorable? Nice build Lego Bunny.
Yes, his head looks a bit like a boom box. Yes, his hips are a bit baffling. But this is King Joe, and he's here to stomp some Ultraseven butt, so none of that is going to matter. Well, it's not really a "he" I guess, it's actually four ships that came to earth and then combined to become King Joe...Yeah, I don't get it either, but it's kind of fun that he was born the same year I was! And it's a cool and surprisingly pose-able build from umamen.
This is such a brilliant combination of parts I just had to share. Meet the Nightmare Designer, by vir-a-cocha. You wouldn't think so much character and style could be achieved with so few parts would you? This just goes to show you no matter how many times you look at the parts in front of you, there's something new to discover.
I haven't seen the Minions movie yet, but I hear it's funny. These little yellow dudes, like this one artfully recreated by bricks.life.idea, were by far my favorite part of Despicable Me. In fact, I've never been able to get through the whole movie in one sitting, but I always enjoy the moments these guys are on screen. I also like the concept of an entire army of dedicated workers, I could really use them at the studio these days (even if they'd struggle when it comes to dealing with the banana LEGO pieces).
So what do you do when your school is going to be shut down? Become School Idol's to save it! I suppose if I had actually watched the show instead of googling it that would make more sense to me, but I'm baffled by most anime. But awesome building doesn't baffle me at all, and this collection of adorable characters by Moko is just that, awesome.
Behold the spiky, rocky goodness of Emerald Tooth. He (I assume it's a he) springs from the imagination of Djokson and reminds me of a cross between the classic Power Miners Crystal King, Rock Biter from Neverending Story with a little bit of Nome King from Return to Oz thrown in for flavor.
I'm not a fan of Transformers, especially the Baybominations. But there are a handful of really cool designs in those cinematic crimes. One of those is Crowbar. And now newcomer jake_tp has crafted him in LEGO, and the results are jaw dropping. Seriously, click through and scroll around on the large pictures, this thing's amazing.
Thanks for the head's up Pete
Leave it to those geniuses at Pixar to give all of our emotions personalities of their own. And leave it to builder Mister N to bring them to life in our favorite bricks. My favorite is Anger, as he was in the movie too. It's probably because I'm a ticking time bomb of fury, or something.
It's so nice to have Star Wars on the forefront of pop culture again. With The Force Awakens just a few months away and what should be a Star Wars-riffic SDCC coming next week we're getting to fever pitch time. So it's the perfect moment to get more "cuddly" with perhaps not my favorite of characters in the saga, but at least they're original trilogy, the Ewoks. Here's Wicket by Nobu_tary.
Kids from the decade that brought us The Gong Show, bell bottoms and Star Wars will remember these large iconic robots from across the sea. Well thanks to the creative mind of builder MacLane we're going to get a whole series of these soon. It's LEGO meets super heroes meets 70's Japanese robots, and I can't wait to see more.
It's everyone's favorite mercenary with a mouth, Deadpool. When Marvel announced that they were making a Deadpool movie everyone went nuts, but when Ryan Reynolds tweeted the first pic of him in the costume there was a collective nerdgasm around the internets. Now it's a MOC by Tim Lydy, and I'm suddenly craving cuddles and chimichangas.
I had the pleasure of experiencing the midnight premiere of Pixar's new movie Inside Out aboard the Disney Wonder cruise ship last week. Although there were moments of questionable conscience (what can I say, there's a lot to do on those boats and I'm old) I really enjoyed it. Anger was by far my favorite character, and I was very pleased to find this MOC by Pixar's own Angus MacLane when I finally got access to wifi again, he's absolutely perfect.
I know nearly nothing about the Smurfs. I was too old to care about them when they burst onto the American saturday morning cartoon scene in 1981. Interestingly enough, builder Deathly Halliwell also doesn't know much about them either according to his description of this stunning MOC of the main bad guy Gargamel. Lucky for us you don't have to be a Smurf fan to enjoy this marvelous sculpture.
Part woman, part sea creature, check. Charming features, check. Red hair, check. Likes to collect artifacts of the human world and sing...not so much. Nope, this isn't the Little Mermaid, and she doesn't want to be part of your world (she wouldn't mind eating your children though).This is Nadja the lamia by lingonkart and she's terrifyingly beautiful.
I'm a big Disney nerd, so when you combine the bricks with the magic, you've got my attention. I'm also a fan of secondary characters in Disney animated features. I always think they have the best lines and get up to the most mischief. Sure Simba is the star, but Timon and Pumba are way more interesting. And Belle and Beast had a nice story to tell, but my favorite characters are Lumière and Cogsworth. Speaking of Lumière, check out this amazing MOC by Koen, perfect!
Pate Keetongu is back with another dwarf to add to his ever expanding collection from middle earth. This time it's Dáin II Ironfoot and his pig mount. It's been a joy to watch all these characters take shape, each one better than the last, and now this one has this magnificent armored pig, fantastic.
Love em or hate em, you have to admit, ewoks are quintessential Star Wars. And since they are original trilogy, I'm ok with them. Of course Wicket is the only real memorable ewok, having some time on screen to actually develop a personality. Speaking of personality, this Wicket MOC by Bruce Lowell is oozing with it (or is that ewok musk?)
Here at BrickNerd we like to look back from time to time, and to holiday worlds of old. This is some fantastic work by builder RedRoofArt. I am perhaps a bit biased, since I'm a huge Nightmare Before Christmas, Tim Burton, Disney and LEGO fan, so there was pretty much no way I was gonna not like this. It's technically MOCstalgia, since it was built in 2013/14, but these are new pictures of this phenomenal MOC. Click through for more views, it's worth it.
There are multiple levels of cool going on here. First, it's Stitch, one of my favorite Disney characters. Next, it's Iron Builder, his nose is the seed part. Lastly is the form factor, directly inspired by MOCs build last Nerdvember. I do think he'd look better with some Nerdly glasses though :-)
