Batbrick

A very shallow opinion for me, but I love licensed sets simply because they usually have great parts, great colours and fleshie figs. So I'm all for more! (Though a return to the Batman theme would be so exciting I may slip into a coma willingly just to get them sooner consciously) Batbrick Away!

Aww, they're quite cute! Is 'Otter' a typo or a injoke pun though? Either way I love the detail on them, and rather accurate to the figs too! The hair works well too, I'm surprised it didn't look too 'noodley' but it doesn't. Keep 'em in a clean place MetroiD! Batbrick Away!

Some reviews are so brutal I found myself laughing so hard it hurt. Quotes like "I believe Shyamalan can ruin the world" maybe overdoing it though. But what other films do you like? We need to be able to trust you're opinion A shame its apparently so bad though, with the news of Avatar: The Legend of Korra though it doesn't hit the way it would've. I'm just looking forward to what the animation team bring next. Batbrick Away!

I had to laugh at how President Weiss just cared about getting the ship, that's come up before. Romero also caring the the icecream first, these people have serious priority issues! Hope the move goes okay then, eagerly awaiting the next part. Batbrick Away!

Great little creation there MacK, I always enjoy your mocs when I happen upon them! The haphazard colour scheme with the white and grey is appropriately used for nice camouflage. I love how many troops can fit in the back too, good use of space. Batbrick Away!

Awesome find! Thanks for sharing, my favourites are the Ice Planet magnetizer and Blacktron II magnetizer, the colour schemes really stand out and work well. Truly a formidable fleet there, though I'm sure the M-Tron guys are a bit annoyed at everyone copying them Batbrick Away!

That is brilliant! The use of tire pieces is ingenious! The creature really looks effective and goes beyond the whole "Looks silly because its Lego" barrier. The simplicity of the detailing really works in its favour, something I often fail on is trying to pack so much detail in that nothing stands out. Here the Wolfpack figure and monster works well. Nothing negative for me to say Batbrick Away!

Fair enough, I believe you, great minds think alike then Just wanted to hear your word on it mate. It was mostly the arm bit that I was interested in. Looking forward to seeing any other Doctor Who designs you come up with it you make them Peppermint M: Don't worry, I wasn't trying to turn this into a pointless argument, but I can see how you thought that since my post was quite jerk-ish. I meant to change it last night but I ended up having to go out last night. So Sorry about that. Also, I know how a lot of people try to make Davros, yet find it hard without making the base too absurdly large. Here's my compromise, I'm actually really happy with it given the near impossibility of having a base consistent with the other Daleks: Batbrick Away!

Ecxuse me, but those are very eerily similar to my Daleks I made early last year: I find it hard to believe there isn't a form of influence there, unless yours were made earlier? But given you've even got the same 'arms' attached the same way, I'm a little suspicious. Batbrick.

Seriously, try and watch some anime, just about any anime. The characters are Japanese for the most part, but you'd swear they were as western as apple pie (don't quote me on that apple pie thing). You know why? Because unlike western animation, they don't immediately look at a character in an anime and identify their nationality by their skin tone. Regardless, while ATLA is NOT an anime, it is heavily inspired by it, so I don't get how you could think Ty Lee - the girl with the Japanese name, who comes from the nation heavily inspired by Meiji Japan, and herself is a member of that nation's upper class - is white. And having many ethnicities in a film doesn't change the fact that the central characters - the ones who save the day - are whitewashed, it just makes the message even more potentially offensive. And do not bring up the "fantasy" card to justify whitewashing, the argument just collapses. That said, I agree to an extent with Aanchir and Pigbrick's views, and I am still myself excited for the film even though I refuse to justify it a movie ticket. And I don't think for one second that Shyamalan himself was personally ensuring the racist overtones of the film. With that being said, while I doubt this was all created obviously, the production company has still shown enormous amounts of ignorance, from the offensive casting calls to the specific denials of any relation with them, one year after they were made. The whole debacle is a big product of ignorance. That ignorance continues into the film too, where Katara's outfit has the wrong side over the top, which is going to make some Asian audiences laugh when they see that she's wearing it the way she would traditionally be buried like. As in being dead Batbrick!

When I first saw a preview pic of this Teahouse Righteous Squid I thought it was good but could do some work. I can't believe I even thought that now, everything in this teahouse is just excellently thought out. The use of colours in particularly could have been disastrous but thankfully you've done this very well. The hanging signs, little step up to the door and lamppost are just some of the excellent details. The interior is even better, the bar section and upper tables in particular caught my eye, and the use of space is used incredibly well. The little timer in the bar and various plants an bits used for exotic drinks is a great detail that I love. The red/black floor squares with intersecting white shows excellent planning and is pulled off very well. And the statues are very well thought out, particularly the white owl and spear man. The owner's section with swiveling chair and map, and other section with Mayan idol and piranha tank are also very nice, and don't suffer from trying t cram so much in like my creations. And the Professor's story had me laughing, a really sadistic moment cut away to reveal he only wanted the hair! Batbrick Away!

And this time I'll be keeping up! Will try ot reply to your reply soon friend! Nora Fries: Fantastic, I really love the pale, and obviously asleep look you've given her. Perfect hair choice too, you seem to have a skill with that Summer Gleeson: Very nice! For some reason, Summer Gleeson was one of my favourite regulars on BTAS, she just seemed to have a good rounded personality beyond "tv presenter", something that BTAS was great at doing with its original characters. I like the hair and face you've chosen, and while the suit looks good I think you should close the gap on it a bit as it looks a bit too wide. Dr Harleen Quinzel: You've made a Harley before haven't you? Either way, I really like this design, the blue eyes and and red/black hair bond are great touches. Janet Van Dorn: Wow! I never thought of adapting this character, she was very good in The trial, did she appear in any other episodes? The skeptical glasses face looks very accurate, and the suit looks fantastic barring a smudge. An excellent batch friend, I await the next! Batbrick Away!

Huh, nice little special effect with the Dash skull there KDog, I didn't notice the first time I quickly went through the comic and it startled me the second time! Nice and subtle, very neat. And that 180 degrees head shot continues to be disturbing, despite the fact all Lego figs can do that. A testament to the quality of your shots I'd say, which are definitely vastly improved since you started the whole thing. And wow, maybe I just wasn't thinking enough, but for some reason I was caught off-guard with the stealing the body thing, particularly that they don't kill people that we know yet, just take the already dead. I'm loving how this arc is shaping up! Batbrick Away!

Watched the two new eps recently and I have to say I'm impressed! It seems they are allowed to get away with more dirty jokes on Comedy Central, though unfortunately it seems the ones they went with weren't very inspired. I mean, V-GINY? Really? You're going with that? Oh well, apart from that it seems like normal Futurama to me, and while it the episodes weren't exactly classic, they still got quite a few belly laughs from me and are an enormous step up from the movies. I'd say we've got very little to worry about. Batbrick Away!

Weird, the look of it is very cool too, and the design within intrigues me. I'm gonna go ahead and say its just a set of instructions and not a real set, but if I have the pieces I'll be sure to make one! Batbrick Away!

Wow! Not quite as good as your Sabi in my mind, but still plenty enough to make me consider giving up mocing altogether out of jealousy Your use of those trans green spheres for the rocket pack is ingenious Righteous Squid, and the green colour is great, I'm a sucker for green mechs and made an unsuccessful one a while back. I love the way you've done the arm guns too, with the little exhaust vents on each side, there's a lot of detail that really shows off the work put into it. Batbrick Away!

Amazing creation Righteous Squid, though from you that's hardly surprising! The enclosed cockpit with fair space is my favourite part, but the smaller arms and poseable legs also look fantastic. I can't really find fault in it, it looks a little similar to the Organimech design I made a few years back, except, y'know, good The level of detail really adds authenticity to the mech look as well, from the little bits at the back to the piping to the arm guns, it all really works together. Batbrick Away!

Great little setup and I love the fun use of the Wookie here. The base is my favourite part though, looking very clean, having a lightsabre and yet somehow still looking appropriate in a Castle creation! Batbrick Away!

Aww, that's adorable! Awesome that you do a lot that! Agreed, fleshies I find to be much better, and while I wouldn't like them to completely replace yellows, I wouldn't mind them being either dominant or atleast a better portion of figs. I can only hope to do the same one day! Anyway great mods Righteous Squid, the enhanced detail and height make the bank look much more imposing, real and very "Gotham-ish" without compromising the more outlandish and generally fun tone of your Batman world, which I do greatly admire! Sorry about the late post too, but rest assured I've looked at this several times, I've just been a terrible mix of lazy and busy recently. Batbrick Away!

Gulp indeed! Still, nothing will deter me from that Hogwarts set, its parts and figs are perfect for Wayne Manor and other Batman creations! I love the head too, definitely looking forward to the uses that new cape brings too. Batbrick Away!

Ah, that makes all the Hollywood whitewashing okay, thanks for explaining that to me. I guess when all my friends of different nationalities complain that the characters that should be portrayed by their nationalities go to the white people on the block, I'll just tell them that it isn't about diversity, its about if they can act well. I'm sure that's exactly how we managed to overcome racial issues in the past, gotcha. (I actually get what you mean, which is why I dislike the Racebending community a bit because they go out of their way to troll other sites and make parts of the film that aren't racist look as such. And the film will probably be enjoyable. But I won't be seeing it, simply because at the end of the day regardless of intentions the casting and design of the film has been enormously offensive to pretty much everyone, and especially to those whose nationalities and culture missed out on being included in a film that was pretty much based on a show built around them)

Okay, this is going to be one of the biggest posts in my life! Its time for Batbrick to play catch-up! Page 4. Red Claw: I was never a fan of the Red Claw character, but I love how you've done her robe thing and the hair with the white line is great. I'm not sold on the face though, her lips look a bit mangled and there's a noticeably smudge on her forehead. The Mad Monk: Now this is more like it! It seems great minds think alike friend since I've always planned to make the fig exactly like that if I ever got one of those Royal Guard figs, though I would've have put and appropriate head and kept the gap. Mind you, I still like how you've done it, and the skull and crossbones is a great touch. Deadshot: I quite like him! You've done a good job on the paint there, and while some of the lines are a little wobbly, given that he's practically entirely painted I'd say you did a good job. Count Vertigo: Simplicity is sometimes the best option I find, and you've done it to great effect here. The use of the simple dark grey torso really works with just the black nit painted at the top, and you chose the perfect head to paint the Vertigo eye onto. The painted cape is wonderful too! Deadshot: I'll be honest, I don't like this one very much. The use of red should really be orange, and Deadshot only has one eye, so he doesn't have an eye opening on the black side where you've done one. Page 5. Daniel Mockridge: Now this is more like it! You chose the perfect face for him, definitely getting the same vibe as his BTAS Riddler boss counterpart. The cut back hair has a few notches, but ultimately it looks much better this way than if you not done it at all. Pamela Isly:One of my favourites so far! Love the choice of the red hair, and the little details such as the green eyes, and Poison Ivy costume underneath are fantastic. And consider your idea of an upside down crystal as a potion officially stolen my friend! BTAS Robin: You've hit a great stride now, love the way you've done the dark green gloves. The double coloured cape I tried once, but mine were bent so I couldn't do it as well as you have. Anthony Romulus:Fantastic! I'm very jealous that you have that Werewolf head as I wanted one to make a Manbat (just cut off the nose bit I thought), I never thought of doing this. Works really well though, and the paintjob is fantastic! Joker Fish:Wow! I can't believe I didn't think of this! They look perfect, would it be okay for me to copy them, and credit you if they ever turn up in a picture? Page 6. Harvey Bullock: I'm a big fan of Harvey Bullock, and you've done a great job on him. Great minds think alike of the Indy head, I like how you've touched his face up a bit. Good choice of coat, I did the dark grey striped one, and this one for Gordon. Your Boss: Well she certainly looks evil! Rocky Ballantine: I'll be honest again, I'm not a fan of this one. The hair is a bit too bright and obviously modded, and her face looks a little evil. Longcoat Penguin: Haha, you'll never stop with the Penguin figs will you? This looks very good, I've noticed quite a few people doing this, I might have to join in and make a coat for Gordon. Batarang and Belt Batman: Love the Batarang, simple yet different. The belt looks good too, though it has a buckle in a most unfortunate spot....and shape....if you know what I mean Joker's Mime Goons: Love the look, I've always wanted a mime for Joker's gang. There's a couple of imperfections, but overall these are great, where are the hats from? Bane's Backpack: Nice! I never thought of doing that with the Ghostbusters pack. It looks quite neat, albeit a bit too big. Robin's Bike: Why do you mock me? I always wanted a red bike for Robin and the sets kept disappointing me. Love the paint job, the different colours look great. Catwoman's Whip: Where did you get this from? I really want it, it looks much better than the standard Lego one. Blackgate Prisoners: I prefer the "Stonegate" title from BTAs, but anyway, these look great. Very similar to mine, but I used orange construction torsos, which work, but these are better. What set are they from? Gotham Homeless: Nice, good use of the ripped torso and long hair. I prefer my use of it as a mugging/crime victim, but this is probably more useful for general setups. Generic Gotham Citizens: very nice! Not much else to say apart from I love how many different coat torsos you have, also, where are the women? New Scarecrow: Excellent, probably your best character update yet. The use of the troll cape is inspired and the new face is far scarier. Great stuff. Scarecrow Minions: Very good, same idea as me, those skull heads were perfect really. I think they should lose the capes though, I think they look a bit silly with them. Evening Penguin: Grief! How many can you do of him!? This one is quite nice actually, though I prefer the purple bathrobe. That said, I imagine Penguin as being a man who never wears the same thing twice. Potbelly Penguin: Brilliant! I really like this one! But does he shower with a monocle? Page 7. Nyssa Raatko: Obscure, but very well done my friend. Sometime simplicity is the best option, and I like how you've done that here. Especially since her expression is quite neat, it fits with how manipulative she is in her appearances. Solomon Grundy:A bit different from the comic in having brown/grey skin over white, but it really looks great surprisingly! The white hair on top becomes far more effective as a result! Captain Stingaree: Now you're getting desperate! Despite being an extremely odd character you've done good justice for him here. The paintjob has a few wonks but overall quite nice, and a good face choice as usual. Mr Toad: I haven't read a lot of Grant Morrison's most recent Batman run, but I do like the look of this character very much, and you've translated him well, especially with all the warts on his face. Page 8. Mirror Man: Never heard of him, but certainly looks accurate to the pic, and that hairpiece is fabulous. Deacon Blackfire: And again some great simplicity there. I was mixed on the comic he appeared in but I like the look you've given him, and again the white hair is really effective, I'm annoyed the Lego Company doesn't make much of them. Crazy Quilt: Yes! Yes! You've finally extended to the gloriously 60's world of BTBATB! And a fantastic first fig here. Suitably multicoloured, and the helmet is brilliant, makes me want to get the Imperial Battlepack set just for it. Perfect face choice again, it appears to be your strong suit. Fat Penguin: Haha! Another one! I actually quite like this, I can see why Lego doesn't do it but it doesn't look nearly as strange as I would've though, and definitely works for this character. Though I understand you've slimmed down recently? Soviet Superman: Superman: Red son was a very good comic and you've certainly done justice with the characers here. Love the Communist hammer and sickle symbol, I magine that would've been hard to pull off. Soviet Batman: I laughed at the "Sexy Hat" caption. The actual fig is very nice too, the furry hat is fantastic and the various gadgets on the uniform are classic. I'm not sure on the ragged cape, but as per usual an excellent face choice with the smirky Batman. Soviet Penguin: Argh! This one is you! I can't believe how normal the hat looks, it fits in seamlessly. I can't imagine a Soviet Penguin would be up to much good... Page 9. I've already commented on Vreeland and Freeze so I'll move to the next; New Hair Nightwing: I love that hairpiece! Is that from Brickforge? Either way, it suits Nightwing very well, much better than his BTAS mullet. White Penguin: Good grief another one! Actually this looks quite good, the purple umbrella from the Lego Batman game is great and he certainly bears a good similarity to the posed figure he's in front of. Page 10. The Creeper: Nice! I was hoping you'd get around to the Creeper sometime. I'm glad you didn't try to paint him yellow, and the use of cut down brown hair for his...mane....thing...really works! Excellent choice of face again again again, though personally I'm using that one for a Pre-Chemical Bath Joker. Yko Naw Ibonek: We'll he's different, I'll give you that! The evil goatee is a humourous touch I liked. Page 11. Hugo Strange: I was hoping you'd make him too! Is that the Prince of Persia character head? If so, excellent job of changing it, your skills are getting very good. I love that he has one eyebrow raised. Leslie Thompkins: I always loved Leslie as a character, her pascifism is very different to the punching superheroics of most comics. This is a great version, is that the Harry Potter character head? I think it is in the Hogwarts set coming this year too which I'll be getting, mind if I copy? The MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSIC MEEEEEIIIIISTEEEEEER!!!: Epic! I'm so glad oyu made him, what did you think of the musical episode? I love it to bits, and you've translated him very smoothly to Lego form. His orchestral wand and lime lined hat in particular are charming. JammieKiller:Er, what? Fell sorry for the ostrich. Minerva: Very nice, you've used the right hair for sure. I like the body but I think the gold is a bit too dark and looks a bit off. Ma Parker: I quite like it, but I think she actually looks much more like Ma Kent, Superman's adopted Mother. In fact, I think you should change her to that BTBATB Black Canary: I'm so glad you made her my friend, BTBATB Black Canary is one of my favourite characters on that show and my favourite version of her. Again simplicity works, I'm glad you didn't try something too complex, and the hair is the best possible choice. Straight A's from me. BTBATB Green Arrow: Yay! You're making characters from BTBATB. I find it quite ironic that despite being a thread made for Batfigs two of the best ones are not Batfigs. The coloured quiver and painted mask look very good, I can't find fault in this one. New Haircut Robin: I really like that hairpiece and want it badly. Definitely suits the Tim Drake suit, as he had longer hair during his stint in it. Howard Adams: Is he the one in your Batman comic a while back? Not much else to say apart from he looks fine and suitably business-like. Poison Ivy's Goon: Did oyu get this idea from me or did we both just do the "Great minds Think Alike" thing again? I think the latter, because the Army head and Space Police Alien body were made for a Plant Goon. Updated Riddler: Wow, I really hope TLc does a bowler hat one day. There are a few frays and bends in your custom pieces but overall this looks much better with them than without. The dark green is great too and your "? Cane" is much better than mine. Penguin's New Suit: I think that's a recoloured Penguin suit, wither way it looks good, but I refuse to comment further on your Penguin outfits! Page 12. Updated Joker: Very nice! I personally prefer could go either bright or dark on the Joker's hair so its nice to see it here. That extra long gun however is the great stuff! Montague Kane: Briliant choice of everything here frankly, he looks exactly like his animated counterpart from Zatanna. The face espeically. Zatanna:And here she is herself! I was also looking forward to this one eventually, since she has good ties to the Batworld. The hair and hat work very nicely, is the top just cut off? I think she should just have flesh tone legs though, I'm not sure the grey works. General Vreeland: That was such a hilarious episode with the tank, I'm glad oyu caught his overly angry facial expression. Can I copy the use of goggles and markings? I would of course credit you. Grant Walker: AKA Walt Disney knock-off Good cohice of suit, And I can't imagine a better face, he even has dark eye patches. Page 13. Kyodai Ken: I laughed when I saw this, its exactly the same as the Kyodai Ken I made! I dismantled him to make Lady Shiva instead though. Calender Man: Very neat! I like how you've based it on all three versions, a neat amalgamated version of them, the dates scrawled on the cape is the best part, as well as his nonchalant face. Prometheus: I really, really don't like the Prometheus character, but you've done great work with him here as usual. The shoulder pads especially are wonderful, though personally I would've gone without painted the gold on the arms, I don't think it works. Joker and Penguin coattails: nice! I never would've thought of this. Penguin's ones look much better I think though, as Joker's are too thin and as a result look a bit odd. Whew, that's easily my biggest post ever! Now to just wrap up by replying to a couple of quotes by you not directed at me: Aww, sometimes I don't know why I dangle you over rooftops to extract information Allow me to provide the Lounge in question Batbrick Away! (Having finally finished an enormous post!)

What are you? The enemy of fun? Agreed to a ridiculous extent, and don't get me started on the travesty that is Breaking Dawn. I cannot stand entire pages devoted to describing the skin of Stephanie Myer's fanfic insert dream boyfriend, nor an utterly vacant and repulsive character like Bella who exists merely for the purpose of being a nearly empty reader insert dream for screaming fangirls. I could go on, but instead I'll merely segue into the atrocious Battlefiled Earth film, based on the atrociously offensive work of Scientology creator L. Ron Hubbard. I could go onto that, but instead I'll segue again onto Stealth. Which was just rubbish. And Pearl Harbour too, which was historically inaccurate and rubbish. Batbrick Away!

I'll let the Inventor answer this one for me: Dalek Priority 1: Ensure the survival of the Dalek race. Yeah, regardless of what you think of their look (I personally like it though I think they are a bit too bulky) you have to admit its great that the regular Daleks are finally capable of plotting again, much like the one if the first Dalek ep in Series 1. Every one of them since then have just been catchphrase spouting soldiers. Batbrick Away!

Did you miss the part where all of reality was at stake? I think every race ever would be willing to stop what they're doing to prevent that from happening. Batbrick Away!
