avatar minifigs

[Tanotrooper]

Hey all,

I love the avatar animated series, and since book 3 started unexpected here in Belgium, I decided to make some minifigs, and I'll import the two sets later on. (why arent they avaible in Europe :-( )

first up Toph, the blind bandit, a blind girl who happens to be perhaps the most powerful earthbender of them all :-P I'm thinking of using the katara face with the blue eyes... I have spend all day long to figure out the hair... I think this is good but might improve it later...

lastly (for now) Suki, the leader of the female warriors of Kyoshi island, armed with a katana and ... forgot the name of it 8-|

anyway:

if you dont know the characters, a quick check on wikipedia gives a brief info and pic.

A neat work, and I really like the cool work you did with Toph

[CF Mitch]

Indeed, Toph's hair is nicely done *sweet*

I love Avatar as well, it's a shame the Lego sets don't appear in here :'-(

Anyway: Nice creations *y*

Cool! Avatar is an awesome show, I managed to get dragonator into it too! :-D Great job with Toph's hair. Suki's cool too! *y*

~Peace

It really is a shame Avatar lasted only 2 sets. A North Pole, Day of Black Sun, or Ba Sing Se set would of been nice. Perhaps a Dai Lee agent?

Yes, because of you I have had to sit here and watch as many episodes as possible! I blame you! But really, it would be great if there were more Avatar sets, and if they were available here... 8-| (We want Avatar!)

Nice work with that minifig of Toph, it is very nice.

Nice work, I like the cats tail I mean Tophs hair, original

its my cats paw :-D

finally got around taking the pics, the pieces used are:

-small rubber tire

-black rubber string

-black plate 1*1

-black plate modified 1*1 with vertical grip

-green plate 1*1

-2* white minifig hands

step 1: take the minifig

step 2: put the 1*1 modified plate on its/her head

step 3: wrap the rubber band twice around the head, and place it under the modified plate. This will serve as hair and to hold the white balls.

step 4: click the black 1*1 plate with the stud facing the floor into the modified plate's fingers. It should be at an angle pointing upwards.

step 5: put a green 1*1 plate on the modified plate (can be yellow for fire outfit).

step 6: push the tire on the 1*1 plate in the back. It should slide in and make a perfect fit.

step 7: pull a bit on the rubber string on each side and put the minifig hands in.

There you go! You now have a "blind bandit"

PS: in a week or so I'll order 3 avatar sets, and then I can make more minifigs :D
