Nice job on the booted Spidey! Ironic that that blue and red design was first used on a version of Spider-Man . . . I guess you've brought it full circle. Where did you hear that Jaime is going to be released this summer?! -

Well, in that case, enjoy. :) And as for those combos, I'll ask other people. Thanks anyway! -

That's a pretty awesome King Shark! If you want to make him bigger, though, I do have a few suggestions: Try customizing a big-fig, like the Hulk, if you have an extra one floating around. Try adding some bricks to his feet, or customizing the mini-fig design itself. Try doing a completely brick-built version. Try some of the other Lego shark heads, and see how those look. I feel your struggle in trying to make what should be a big-fig out of minifig parts. :( As for Felicity Smoak, I like what you did with her, but personally, I don't think I can use that design. As a fan of the show, I can't "unsee" those pieces as being Bernadette, if that makes sense. :( I have an idea for what I'd like my Felicity to look like, though. Can you post a picture of this combo for me, if you have the parts? Luna Lovegood's hair Bernadette's head Luna Lovegood's jacket The pants and laptop you have now. Happy building! - The Big Red Cheese -

So, this isn't my design, it came up in the Lego Fans group I'm in on Facebook. The design is amazing, so I figured I'd share it here. -

My apologies for uploading so late, the crappy photo quality, and how squished it is. Cropping the photo was the only way I could decrease the amount of data there was so that I could get it down to below 100 KB for uploading. :( -

*Headsmack* I didn't get that the trans yellow was for representing lightning. That makes a lot of sense. I mean, either way, try it and see how it looks with solid yellow. That being said, if you you try out some new combos with it, give trans red and trans yellow a shot if you can. Either way, happy building, and I can't wait to see how that chess set will come out! I haven't been out looking, but I don't think that series 16 is available near me yet. :( Glad you were able to find a use for the pieces though! :D Irina Spalko's torso looks great, and as for the perfect torso you're referring to, would that be this one? -

I think that this one looks pretty good . . . A lot of the Lone Ranger stuff works, as well as the CMF Cowboy*, and even a lot of the classic Western stuff, which, surprisingly enough, doesn't all have yellow "flesh" peeking out from the neckline. * The Cowboy DOES have yellow "flesh" peeking out from the neckline. > The feels from just seeing this little bit of the awesome chess set! AGH! THE ANTICIPATION IS KILLING ME! Just kidding. I love what you did with the speed trails, as it's the first time I've ever seen them curved before. EDIT: The amount of trans-yellow in the Flash's speed trail is fine. I think though, that you should try all trans or all regular in terms of colors. If you can, try replacing the trans-yellow you have now with regular yellow, and see what happens. That, or you could replace the red you have now with trans red, and see what that does. It's good either way. The Lone Ranger line has so many uses . . . Also, Jonah Hex actually fought for both sides during the Civil War. He started as a Confederate and then defected to the Union. Beautiful! I love Gorgon. That torso combo also seems really good for Rick Flag Jr., and that Medusa resembles Plastique . . . :thumbup: Two thumbs up for versatality. Plus, I like that version of the Doctor from the Pandorica's opening over there in the right corner. -

:D Those legs have so much infinite potential, it's not even funny. I'm glad you got a good use out of them. -

Do you mean the Avengers movie, or the classic comic Captain America? Either way, I think that these legs, courtesy of Spider-Man, might work as well. -

No, I didn't take a picture of it, but I will A.S.A.P. I'll do my best to have one up here on the thread probably by later today. -

As for alternate expressions, I'd recommend attempting to snag some of the other Jack Sparrow heads, like the scared one, etcetera, and maybe working with those. This is a great figure, by the way.

Autorazr, great job! :D It seems that the Super Henry and Finn hairs are getting a lot of purist use. Great use of the Nexo Knights stuff on the Hulks, by the way. Also, I'm loving that modded Iron Fist and Luke Cage! I almost didn't recognize him beneath all the yellow, but the metal tinges, arm guards and Finn's hair gave it away. I think that this yellow shirt would work out great even for a flesh Luke Cage, because of the muscles and whatnot. Alas, too bad we don't have more of those dual molded boots! Also, I must ask, what legs are those on Iron Fist? I've never seen them before, but they look amazing! That's a brilliant solution for Orion, what with the taps for handles and the droid body for his Astro-Harness! I think you've hit the nail on the head! -

You're very welcome, and I appreciate the description! I may make one myself, if I can get some of those parts! :D I agree, both purism and non-purism are valid, legitimate approaches to the Lego hobby, and for the future, I will do my best to curtail off-topic discussions, or, as you suggested, use the PM system. Not that I want to continue this argument any further, but I would like to say that I feel as though your comment takes my point to its logical extreme, and then some. I didn't mean to imply that anyone who moves a single brick out of place, or, in your example, gives a fig a new hat, is a customizer. In any case, I myself currently engage in both practices, and I love to see what happens in both camps. If you wish to further this discussion however, feel free to PM me, and I will do my best to respond promptly. :) Happy building! As for the heads, you're very welcome! As for the information about the figs and your customization preferences, I appreciate it, and thank you very much! -

Thanks! Using that helmet in it's brighter form, I've actually assembled a Charlie W.I.P. that has everything save for the hands, as I don't have any blue ones. Because I have to wait until I get my hands on blue hands until he'll be complete, I think this video accurately describes how I'm feeling right about now: http://www.infinitel...tlu1xY&p=n#/0;4 EDIT: I capped the video off at a certain part. If you want to watch the rest, backspace the four and the semicolon in the URL. -

Comix, I was looking through my bricks last night in an attempt to find one of my flesh smiley faces, and I found a helmet that seems to me would be nearly a perfect match for what Charlie wears, or at least, based on this image of him: https://www.google.com/search?q=charlie+scooby+doo&safe=strict&client=ms-android-att-us&prmd=ivsn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiUz-iSvJvKAhXMOxQKHSPVDbsQ_AUIBygB#imgrc=J1BXzH_6EFceMM%3A This helmet http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=93560&idColor=7#T=S&C=7&O={"color":"7"}, seems like it could work for Charlie in either blue or dark blue. -

This seems great! :) I think that's actually the wrong shade. On this note, TCMazz1, one of the people I follow on Flickr, created his own version of this, which is essentially Airbenderfreak's version, save for a few key differences. He used the less common Fire Nation Soldier head from the regretably short lived Avatar: The Last Airbender line, the Dementor's slightly bigger cloth piece, and the video game guy's dual molded light bley arms to match with the pirate hook. That version can be seen here, on his Flickr. -

For some reason, the Henry Jones torso just fully screams 11th Doctor to me. I just can't see the 7th Doctor with that, but hey, if it works for you . . . That's right! I haven't watched 9th recently enough to recall his cheesy grins. The head you have is great for those. That's also right. The whole combo looks 8th to me, but the legs are the deal breaker. I've seen that hair used for the 4th Doctor too, but I don't really recall many uses of Frodo's torso. I'm glad you like the head. The hair is not so much the styling, but the shade. EDIT: 10th Doctor He could have an angrier face, I agree, but it wouldn't be good to "sacrifice" the other details you've managed to achieve with the one you have now. EDIT: War Doctor I can't wait to see Doctors 1-3 and their companions! :D As long as you're good, that's all that matters. :) I'm glad I could be of help to you. :) Be sure to post photos of those Hex Girls when you get to them. From the way I order Lego, it'll take a while to get my hands on such extras. It's great that you were able to upgrade Charlie and the Space Kook, but unfortunately, the hyperlinks you gave for them only seemed to lead me to a blank page. :( As for the credit, I just thought it was the right thing to do, but if you don't care, then it doesn't matter as much to me either. As for the Mr. Burns top, I'm glad you ended up liking it, and yeah, I find that happens when someone else adds to my idea, I almost always like the combination of ideas more than I liked my own stuff. Great minds and all that. Anyway, happy building! :) -

It seems to me that every Lego fan and their mother has attempted to make the Tenth Doctor, but I've seen comparatively few Donnas. *Shrug* Don't ask me why. Everyone goes for the Malfoy smirk for Ten, but I like the face you chose. Which one is it? As for Donna, is that the Clara face?! It looks amazing! :D If so, +1 for using Doctor Who Lego to make more Doctor Who Lego!! Like Hulk_Smash said, she might need and angrier face . . . - Sorry to say, but the whole "BITE ME ALIEN BOY!" attitude is not conveyed 100% by the face you have right now. I agree. Nice job, making that many doctors in one shot! :D That 7th Doctor looks more the 11th Doctor. The 7th Doctor is much more colorful, and has an umbrella. [That hair is on point for the 7th Doctor though . . .] The 9th Doctor might need an angrier face, but he looks pretty darn good, considering how notoriously hard Eccleston's nose and ears would be to capture in Lego. The 10th Doctor might benefit from this head, and this hair. Nevertheless, he still looks pretty darn awesome! :D The War Doctor looks perfect! 10/10! The 4th Doctor looks more like the 8th Doctor. The 4th Doctor is much more colorful, and has hair that's a bit more Afro like. For reference . . . This image is the Lego Dimensions Fourth Doctor, and this one is the Lego Dimensions Eighth Doctor. This image is the Lego Dimensions Seventh Doctor, and this one is the Lego Dimensions Eleventh Doctor. -
This looks awesome!! Keep up the great work!

As N_Cat said earlier, I was talking about the sword pieces. *Headsmack* That’s a brilliant idea! :D As for pictures, I totally get that piece combos is sufficient. I just meant to say that if OP could, they should post a picture. Maybe I came across differently, but that’s what I meant. I‘ll re-quote the post and clarify what I meant. Thanks for keeping me accountable, and also, thanks again for clarifying about the sword pieces for 8BrickMario. :) I’m glad it’s coming along! :D It looks awesome so far! N_Cat also recommended this torso, so give it a shot, if you have it. Either way, he looks awesome! BTW: That Ra’s is on point. I love it! :D N_Cat told me that my request for images of your Peggy Carter minifigure might have sounded more demanding that it should have, so if I made you feel as though pictures were necessary, I just wanted to clarify: Pictures are not necessary, but if you can, please do so. Sorry for any confusion. :D Happy building!
