I was looking through my Flickr, and I found this: It's kind of what you are looking for. -

TheBigRedCheese replied to sok117's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
I prefer a torso and mini-legs, but I have used the other part of the combo you described and I think it's amazing. -
Purist TV/Movie Figures
TheBigRedCheese replied to Skier1215's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
I have a bunch of figures that I've made that fall under this category, so I think I'll share them. Images seem to be busted, so I'll link to my Flickr. Notes: Seeing as I photographed these for my Flickr account, and my Flickr followers don't care about third party gear, knockoffs, modifications, etcetera, some of these photos might contain those, but I'm sure we can just ignore those and weed out the purism in these, right? Some images contain more than the named figure. The figure that is named is the one that pertains to the category. I'm including a picture regarding a character in a original Netflix series, which I'm counting as falling under TV. *The photo marked with asterisks also contains "classic" versions of characters from Sherlock Holmes. I've never seen nor heard of a Sherlock Holmes TV/movie adaptation that was as faithful to the source material as I tried to be with the figs, but if there is one that I don't know about, you can consider them as falling under it.* Terminator (The Terminator [1984]): https://www.flickr.c...hotolist-pMtEoL Pietro Doe [Puppet Master] (Scooby Doo): https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/ Henry Bascombe [Space Kook] (Scooby Doo): https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/ Hank Doe [Miner Forty-Niner] (Scooby Doo): https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/ Mavis Dracula (Hotel Translyvania): https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/ Oliver Queen (Arrow) https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/ Felicity Smoak (Arrow): https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/ Clara Oswald (Dr. Who): https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/ Ten, Amy, and Eleven (Dr. Who): https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/ W.I.P.

Whilst doing research for my essay/comment, on your James Bond Villains post, I found some sweaters in red/reddish brown that might be good for your Goldfinger version of Bond. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=973pb0315c01 (This one has a striped undershirt, so it may not be what you’re looking for.) http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=973pb0754c01#T=S&C=5&O={"color":5,"ii":1} (This one is listed as a “tartan” which is apparently a Scottish pattern, but I think it still looks good.)

James Bond Villains
TheBigRedCheese replied to mmcclelland's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
So this was that mysterious project! :D Anyway, here goes nothing! Fair warning: I'm more versed in Bond than I am in his adversaries, so the following assessments are based mostly on Google Image searches and my disturbingly vague prior knowledge… Also, if any of your choices are based on a specific movie scene or for a particular reason, then ignore my advice, and leave them the way they are. Second warning: This post is SUPER long. It’s like reading a damn essay. Sorry about that. :( Good luck! Round 1: Dr. No: I'd recommend http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=64798#T=S&O={"ii":1} as an alternate hair. Donald Grant: I'd recommend http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=62810&in=M as an alternate hair. Instead of using it in blonde, light bley (blueish grey) might actually be a better option. You used this hair (to great effect, I might add) on Emilio Largo. Auric Goldfinger: I'd recommend http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3626bpb0510#T=S&C=3&O={"color":3,"ii":1} as an alternate head (you thought that was going to say hair, didn't ya?!), because yours looks a bit too serious. Elektra King: Her face is great, but something about it is kind of "off" to me. I'd recommend looking at this: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=2&q=female&catLike=W&sortBy=N&sortAsc=A&catType=P&catID=238 (the female head "disambiguation page", if you will), and flipping through some of the many, many, many choices that Bricklink has available. I picked out a handful, and I stuck to the yellows, but there are SO many more out there, it isn't even funny. http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3626bpb0581#T=S&C=3&O={"color":3,"ii":1} http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3626cpb1336#T=S&C=3&O={"color":3,"ii":1} (Ignore the robot side ...) http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3626cpb1029 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3626cpb1061 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3626cpb1277 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3626bpb0529 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3626bpb0681 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3626cpb1284 (See what you do with customization and/or hair placement to get rid of the silver bits, maybe...) Another thing: Seeing as she wears a dress, I'd also recommend looking at this: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=&catID=&itemYear=&searchName=Y&searchNo=Y&q=dress+slope&catLike=W (the dress "disambiguation page", if you will), and flipping through some of the choices that Bricklink has available. I picked out all of the red ones, and the few black ones, because, (from what I can tell at least), she wears two different dresses during the course of the film, one red (through and through) and one gray, and purple combo, but since there are no accurate looking grey tops (that I could find), or purple dresses (again, that I could find), I figured some artistic licence could be taken. Black: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3678ap01#T=C (This looks like the only one that's mostly black, so I'd give it the second strongest recommendation, if you want to do black.) http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3678bpb067#T=C&C=11 , Couple this with the matching torso, (http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=973pb1586c01#T=C&C=11) and I think you've got a great outfit... (This one is mostly a light blue, but with some black highlights, so I'd give it the strongest recommendation.) http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3678bpb071#T=C&C=7 (I lied. This one is technically all blue, by way of a combo of light and dark blues, but it might still work… Red: For the reddish dresses, I’m going to leave my opinions out of it, and let you choose... http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3678bpb048#T=C&C=88 http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3678bpb068#T=C&C=59 http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3678bpb057#T=C&C=59 http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3678bpb052#T=C&C=59 http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3678bpb082#T=C&C=59 http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3678bpb064#T=C&C=59 http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3678bpb027#T=C&C=59 Fair warning: Dresses make minifigures slightly taller than usual, so beware… Gustav Graves: I'd recommend http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=99930&name=Minifig,%20Hair%20Short%20Combed%20Sideways%20Part%20Left&category=%5BMinifig,%20Hair%5D#T=S&C=120&O={"color":120,"ii":1} or http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=15500&name=Minifig,%20Hair%20Short%20Combed%20Sideways%20Part%20Right&category=%5BMinifig,%20Hair%5D#T=C as an alternate hair. I'll have to get back to you on a face recommendation, (thank God for Youtube) but right off the bat, I can definitely say that it is WAY too goofy. That head actually might work better for Goldfinger. Le Chiffre: I’m not sure if you used the same face as the one I was going to recommend, so I’d tentatively recommend http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3626bpb0526#T=C as an alternate head, but if you did in fact use that head, kudos! As is the case with Gustav Graves, I'd recommend http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=99930&name=Minifig,%20Hair%20Short%20Combed%20Sideways%20Part%20Left&category=%5BMinifig,%20Hair%5D#T=S&C=120&O={"color":120,"ii":1} or http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=15500&name=Minifig,%20Hair%20Short%20Combed%20Sideways%20Part%20Right&category=%5BMinifig,%20Hair%5D#T=C as an alternate hair. His hair is a lighter color than the one you used, it seems to me that it’s more brown than black. Also, As a nice compliment to the poker chip, he might be able to wield either http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3069bpx6, or http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3069bpb264. Round 2: Emilio Largo: As an add, I’d set aside a pair of colored hands (maybe black) to have as gloves. Also, if you want to, try http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=6158 as something to add on to the whole scuba theme, or http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3838#T=C, seeing as it has two tanks instead of just one. Nice use of the back of the Batman torso, as well as the spear gun. Max Zorin: I'd recommend looking at this: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&q=sunglasses&catLike=W&catType=P&catID=238&v=1 (the orange glasses "disambiguation page", if you will), and flipping through some of the choices that Bricklink has available. I picked out a handful, and I stuck to the yellows, but there are a few more out there. Its great that you managed to hit the nail on the head with the orange tinted sunglasses, but I figured I’d throw in some others for you to check out as well. Red Tint: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3626bpb0364&name=Minifig,%20Head%20Dual%20Sided%20Red%20Sunglasses%20and%20Grin%20/%20Scared%20Pattern&category=%5BMinifig,%20Head%5D#T=C&C=3 Orange Tint: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3626bpb0469 Plain ol’ sunglasses: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3626bpb0468 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3626bpb0642 As a bonus, I picked out a few that would look good on him for when he’s not wearing the sunglasses. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3626cpb1035 http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3626cpb1036#T=C&C=3 (Ignore the robot side ...) http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3626cpb1345 Also, I’m not sure why you chose to do a blue suit and grey pants (I assume he wore a similar outfit in the movie), but I’d recommend any of these suits, and a pair of plain black pants. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=973pb0940c01 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=973pb0532c01 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=973pb0532c01 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=973pb1003c01 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=973pb0322c01 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=973pb0737c01 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=973pb1519c01 Victor “Renard” Zokas: I’d recommend http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3626cpb1328 as an alternate head. I can’t really find an image of what he’s wearing, but a majority of the images show him in a suit that I can’t tell much about. What I can tell is that it’s dark blue. It looks tactical, so I’m going to recommend http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=973pb2059c01. I'd also recommend looking at this: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catID=485&itemYear=&searchName=Y&searchNo=Y&q=blue&catLike=W (the blue torso"disambiguation page", if you will), and flipping through some of the many, many, many choices that Bricklink has available. As is the case with Max Zorin, I’d recommend plain black legs. Raoul Silva: I’d recommend http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3626cpb0640 as an alternate head. I’d also recommend looking at this: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catID=485&itemYear=&searchName=Y&searchNo=Y&q=blue&catLike=W (the police torso"disambiguation page", if you will), and flipping through some of the choices that Bricklink has available. I’d also recommend ditching the epaulette. It’s a bit much. I recall from the conversation we had regarding your James Bonds that you were being a stubborn purist, but I’d recommend that you try http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.php?productid=18482&cat=601&page=1 on for size for Raoul’s police hat, as opposed to the generic Lego one. It has two “prints” which might be useful, the gold badge print and the UK metro print. N/A: Another little tidbit for you: Whilst doing research for my essay/comment, I found some sweaters in red/reddish brown that might be good for your Goldfinger version of Bond. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=973pb0315c01 (This one has a striped undershirt, so it may not be what you’re looking for.) http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=973pb0754c01#T=S&C=5&O={"color":5,"ii":1} (This one is listed as a “tartan” which is apparently a Scottish pattern, but I think it still looks good.) Don’t worry, I’ll repost this part of my comment on your James Bond post so you can get to it easier. Until next time! - The Big Red Cheese Post Script: Keep up the great work! :)- 15 replies

Purist Superhero Figures
TheBigRedCheese replied to sok117's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Has anyone tried to do a Superior Spider-Man with the new Miles Morales Spidey? I think that the regular Ultimate Spider Man head + the new Miles Morales Spidey body + the neck rig they used with Carnage with some different pieces = purist Superior Spiderman! :D Can somebody post a pic of that? I feel silly for doing this after the fact, but I searched the thread, and I saw that more than one person had already done something similar. Credit to all of the original guys and gals here who had the idea for a Superior Spiderman before I did. -

Purist Superhero Figures
TheBigRedCheese replied to sok117's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Also, another idea. If you are trying to make an enemy of Firestorm, try this on for size: Danton/Dalton Black, also known as Multiplex, a villain who can create a number of copies of himself, could very well be created from the parts of the Electro-Suit Batman. The back of Batman's suit closely resembles Multiplex's front, and the legs are fine just the way they are. The only foreseeable is the head. Image can be found here: http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Multiplex Thanks for the compliment! -

Sorry for linking to an outside site, but I saw this on Flickr, and had a brainstorm. If anyone has both the new Ultra Agents Tremor Track Infiltration (Set Number 70161), and Ultron, then they might be able to make a comics version with the torso on the right side of this image: Credit to LuxorV for the image. I can't really see that in my head, so if anyone has both, please post an image so that we can see what that looks like. Another thing: He has the letter "T" printed on the bottom of his torso. Maybe he could be useful for one of the Teen Titans, or Red X, perhaps? Just throwing stuff out there... -

Scooby-Doo 2015 Rumours & Discussion
TheBigRedCheese replied to TheLazyChicken's topic in LEGO Licensed
Here's my opinion on your suggestions: Scrappy-Doo (Scooby's brave nephew) Absolutely! I never understood why Scrappy got so much hate ... Scooby-Dum (Scooby's idiot cousin) I think I've seen him once ... Really don't remember. He's the one with the red hat, right? Either way: Meh. Madelyn Dinkley (Velma's slightly younger possibly twin sister) (she debuted in Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra Doo) Never ever seen her before. Assuming she's the girl in the attached picture, I'd say, let's go for it! Worst case scenario, she looks so much like Velma, I feel that she could be made with custom stuff if she isn't released, which, I hate to say it, probably won't be. The Hex Girls Oh. My. God. This is the best thing since Betty White*. If Lego doesn't do this, damn them, and we'll head onto Lego Ideas in arms. Blue Falcon & Dynomutt: These guys might be pushing it a bit, mostly because of the fact that they also had their own show at one point, and only crossed over with the gang in the later years, and even then not only was it sporadic, but also, to the best of my knowledge, it was more like: Here's an hour of Scooby-Doo! COMMERCIALS! Here's an hour of Dynomutt, Dog Wonder! Maybe I'm wrong, but either way, they weren't major characters in any regard, again, to the best of my knowledge. None of this is to say that I oppose the creation of Lego Blue Falcon and Dynomutt, just maybe as their own thing. [betty White's older than sliced bread. No, really, she is.

Yes, they do both use the same hair, but I was a bit confused when you said both Falcons. Thanks for the clarification! :) http://marvel.wikia.com/New_Fantastic_Four_(Earth-616) Also, Sleepwalker was once a member instead of Wolverine. As far as I know, what with retconning and everything, this group is now defunct. Either way, they look pretty cool. :) -

I'm sorry, BOTH Lego Falcons? Unless I'm mistaken, there's only one Lego Falcon. I know, I know, quoting my own post, against the rules of good taste or whatever, but anyway: Are you referring to the new SDCC Captain America (Sam Wilson)? [Aren't comics confusing?] -

Damn! I don't think that I've ever been unfortunate enough to have a torso crack on me before! I've had plenty of arms, and two hands, so there's that, but torsos? Damn. Best of luck in getting new figs. (Or replacement torsos at least.) -
Marvel Superheroes 2015 Rumors & Discussion
TheBigRedCheese replied to CorneliusMurdock's topic in LEGO Licensed
No, I've had that happen too. I think that some of it's just outsourcing, miscalculations on the mold machines. Eg: My official Lego Alfred (which I've had since the Bat-Cave came out) has not a mark on him and looks flawless, and I noticed that some of the flesh arms I got a little while ago were falling apart at the seams. Although, to be fair, I have popped out the arms of my mini-figures a few times, so some cracks can be expected. Whatever the case may be it sucks. Also, just curious, how's Green Goblin? I haven't been able to get a look at him. -
