My Matadors and the Bull

[SirNadroj]

Hola! ;-)

Since my success with the ambassador key chain remvoal, I have taken the beret and put it sideways on a matador minifigure, which looks really good. But I made 3 different matadors, and I don't know which one is best or more accurate. I was wondering what you guys think. *y*

I've also made a bull. This is one of my first brick-built animals, so go easy on me. X-D The whole thing is pretty big, and the horns are too big also, but that makes it even funnier to watch! :-D

Matador #1

Matador #2 (as suggested my oo7 on Flickr)

Matador #3

The bull and the matador:

Bull:

Back:

Head and horns:

Nose ring: X-D

Back/Shoulders:

Charging up:

Thanks guys! Let me know what you think! ;-)

I love the Matador it is just great and I also love the bull I would suggest working on the back of the bull like a tail or something.Also how much was the ambassador fig on brink link.The best one is number 2 I think.

Hard to say, they

My vote goes to #2, for he's just sooo funny with that scared face X-D *wub* . And I think the legs full of good-luck charms (if I see them right) fit in perfectly with his face *y* .

The bull is also very nice, even if the back so high behind the head makes it seem more like a bison than a bull 8-| .

Nice *y* i love the simple design you have used for the bull, oh and i hope the bull wins X-D

No2 FTW!

I like the bull but the legs need work. and i ike the big horns.

Matador 2. The bull's nose ring makes it look a little like he is sticking out his tongue. :-D

[TheFrisian]

I really like the first matador, the jacket looks great! *sweet* And the bull is just awesome, especially since it's one of your first brick built animals. However, I would like to suggest that you make the torso a bit bulkier, and the legs a little less far apart. But keep the big horns, they are really intimidating ;-)

[MicVash]

:-D When I scrolled down to see your second Matador that was a surprise! Very funny and creative! *y* The bull turned out better than I expected from a brick built animal. I think the horns are fine, makes it a bit comical like your Matador. Nice touch with the nose ring.

actually I thought the same thing, it almost looks too much so IMO

[Kliq]

Very neat! I personally like matador 3. The creation of the bull is very clever, but like Loco de Lego mentioned, a tail would be a great addition. Very cool idea for the nose piece. 8-

Very good!!! :-)

I like the bull... it looks like something you would see in a cartoon. :-D

With the matadors, I like number two the most. However, since bulls are attracted to red, isn't it foolishness to be wearing red clothes also? ;-)

Actually, I believe bulls are color blind... :-D

Aren't they attracted to the red capes though? Or perhaps that is just some type of urban myth. :-/

[TheFrisian]

Quote from Wikipedia: "It's a common myth that the color red is supposed to anger the bull, despite the fact that bulls are colorblind (the real reason that a red colored cape is used is that any blood stains on it will be less noticeable)"

I think that answers your question quite nicely ;-) Brutal form of entertainment though, the bulls are wounded and weakened by loss of blood long before the matador enters the arena. Doesn't sound like a fair fight to me. |-/

[MicVash]

I believe its a terrible sport. There's nothing heroic about enticing a poor beast to its death. Don't watch this video if you have empathy for the bull.

[Wout]

Ole and *y*

A nice matador and a nice Bull. Love the nosering. I vote for Matador nr 2.

I heard something that the bull is already angered before the fight/slaughter.

Animal Rights on! :-D

The mighty inquisition is looking for new Matadors. Send their CV's to the Armada Administration and their suitability will be reviewed.

I hear polar bears are too. But they don't have an annual Polar Bear run in Spain, and they don't have polar bear fights. ;-)

What? X-D

I pick matador tres. ;-) I was showing my wife these pictures as I wanted to show her the hat, and she asked if he was supposed to be a matador so it couldn't be too bad a job! *sweet*

I take Spanish in school now, so I'm OK with it, but once I stop, I won't remember a cotton-picking thing! :-D ............... :'-(

I think I'll take up Danish or German. *y*

From what I have heard from a German friends, German is hard due to genderfication of words.
