Matn Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) We are situated in the near future. Viruses have reached a point at which they seem undestructable. But not only viruses have evolved, medical technology has developed a new way of fighting these evil intruders. Because normal medicines aren't effective, people have to make themselves smaller and defeat those new intruders by themselves. With a machine that makes them smaller they get into the body of a person who is ill. Those people are called the Body Miners. There are teams of miners who go into the body to catch viruses to investigate them at the lab, even try to find a cure for it. Other teams fight against the indestructable intruders, so they can't do any more harm to its host. LEGO Body Miners isn't only a LEGO action theme with a lot of playable features and vehicles, children will also learn about the human body and what the effects are of diseases and viruses. Possible sets in the LEGO Body Miners theme: - (impulse) Investigation Chopper: includes one Body Miners figure with vehicle: let the miner jump on his advanced bike to investigate the body. - (impulse) Virus Speeder: includes one Virus minifigure with vehicle: the virus spreads diseases with his personal airplane. - (small) Viruk Escape: includes a Body Miners figure witch vehicle and Viruk: don't let Viruk get away and let the miner catch him to investigate him at the lab. - (medium) Mobile Prisoner Transport: includes two Body Miners figures with vehicle and a virus figure: the miners patrol the body with their mobile prison to catch the viruses. - (medium) Investigation Driller: includes three Body Miners figures with vehicle: the Body Miners investigate the body with this mobile driller. - (large) Lung Pursuit: includes two Body Miners figure with vehicle and three virus with vehicles: the miners are trying to catch three new viruses with his bodycraft and pursuits them in the lungs. The virus try to get away with their speeder and a flying body truck. - (huge) Investigation Lab: includes five Body Miners figures and four viruses including Viruk: in their big laboratorium near the heart the Body Miners are investigating several new viruses. But when the alarm goes of it's time to get busy: Viruk and his compagnons have broken out of the prison! Capture them with the various vehicles in the garage of the lab and a great amount of accesoires. This set includes a big lab with computers to track the viruses and investigate the body, including lots of accesoires and high tech equipment, with different prisons for the viruses and various vehicles. This is Viruk, an evil and new virus. Body Miners must catch him so they can make a cure for it to destruct it. But everytime the Body Miners try to catch him, he gets away! Because of his popularity for getting away all the time, he is seen as the leader of the viruses. He's the most important bad guy of the theme. The decals used are all made by me, the head has an official LEGO hairpiece that I've painted. The dark green matches exactly LEGO's dark green. I have also painted the sword silver and black to have a weapen that goes with the character. It's also my first custom figure. Thanks for viewing.

Matn Posted July 5, 2009 I have updated this thread with sereval new sets for this LEGO Body Miners theme with information and everything. I should also say that my decals are ready and that I've got my hands on decal printing paper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tin7_creations Posted July 6, 2009 You know what this theme reminds me of? Osmosis Jones... that 'policing white blood cell' voiced by Chris Rock. Were you inspired by that? I think if those 'shrunken humans' were to ally with the different cells in the body (who are all humanized) to help fight the evil virus... that would be quite a theme!

Lordofdragonss Posted July 6, 2009 Hey that was my idea! I always wanted a theme like this! But Body Miners? Briliant name! xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, I wasn't inspired by that. I got the idea back in January, but to get more into the theme I tried to remember a cartoonshow when I was little. It was about the human body and everything, and little humans explained everything while they were fighting diseases and viruses. And yes, they did that with help of other body cells. I was going to do that also, but I think for a LEGO theme it would become to complicated. And thanks Lordofdragonss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matn Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) I guess the cartoon was Once Upon a Time... Life? Yes, indeed! That was real television for children, educational and fun to look at. If they would show it again on television, I would watch it out of nostalgic reaons. But I guess it's become too old now. Oh well, those were the days...

badboytje88 Posted July 6, 2009 Whaha I used to watch that cartoon too! It rocked! This woul be an awesome theme for LEGO to produce! Looking forward to seeing the fig. Only thin I think is kinda odd is the fact that the virus is wearing a jacket wit a zipper... Aren't they supposed to be nude or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matn Posted July 11, 2009 Nude in LEGO doesn't work. I've gotten my printer today, of course not the one that I had in mind but I'll hope it do the job also. Now I just have to wait when the pieces will fall in my mailbox, I hope monday. And I will probably adjust a LEGO weapen, or atleast paint it a bit to have a matching accesoire.

LuxorV Posted July 13, 2009 Just one week to go, Matn; hope to see those pics soon LuxorV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matn Posted July 16, 2009 I have just uploaded the pictures, an overall picture and the ones that had to be made for the contest. This is my first custom figures, so don't be to hard on me. The decal for the head was printed on clear decal paper, the front an back decals for the torso had to be printed on normal paper ( ) so on the photos it looks like it doesn't match so good; but I have to say: in person it matches better. The hairpiece and sword are handpainted, the dark green hair matches perfect with LEGO's dark green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
