And here's another one! I know I already did one with Batman, but I just had to do one with the Arctic Batman and the black Batman with the updated cowl! The Light Side of the Bat by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr By the way, I was asked to do this with the wargs too, but I don't have them, so if somebody has them and can take good pictures of them, let me know!

It's the capeless version from the Wizard Battle set. It would probably look better if he had a cape, but I didn't want to crumple the only dark gray cape I have for this picture.

It's been exactly 5 days since my last post, so here's my fourth entry, an action figure scale Znap MOC of Razcal's Double-Crosser:

More crossovers! The Gungan Sub isn't the only set that resembles a vehicle from a Man of Steel set: Black Droid Escape by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr Bespin Cavalry by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr

Another Light & Dark side comparison: The Light Side of the Gandalf by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr

Oh man, I'm so mad right now. That Spider-Man is perfect! Why oh why can't we get one like that in the sets?!? Surprisingly I'm more annoyed about him than Spider Woman who is a nice fig too and would be neat to have, but not really necessary. However, it's depressing to see Green Arrow being one of the exclusives. He looks great and belongs in every Justice League collection. Don't care much about Superman. Much like the black-suit Spidey, he's one of the obscure variations of a character who is easily available in sets in their regular outfit which makes it okay for a con exclusive. I guess there is a chance that at least some of these are "preview edition" figs like the NYCC 2011 Superman, but I wouldn't hold my breath. They better have some mind-blowing sets and figs on display to make up for this or I'll be very upset. Sorry for the rant, but it's disappointing to see that TLG doesn't seem to have listened to the response to the previous exclusives at all.

My third entry, an action figure scale Flamious! Lazy entry, I know. I hope my next entry will be bigger.

Thanks everyone. I just used all the superheroes with a red, white, and blue costume.

Just got back from seeing it. It was really fun! Just as good as the first, if not even better! Didn't care much for Lucy, but the new villain was pretty funny. I think I liked the plot of the first one better, but this one wasn't bad, it just had a few too many subplots. Needless to say, the minions stole the show again, and I'm not surprised (nor do I mind) that they are getting their own movie next year. Overall a great follow up to a great movie! And yes, I do play Minion Rush. It's really fun and very good for a free movie tie-in game!

I absolutely agree. There was an ad for the MBA set in the back of the latest Club Magazine which looked WAY better than the actual set. ^ THAT, Lego. We need THAT! Agreed, but wasn't the first one more of a Sci-Fi theme? Weren't they looking for meteors with alien life in them? A remake of that theme would be cool (no pun intended), perhaps this time with real aliens instead of just radioactive bugs. Sort of an Arctic Alien Conquest (Arctic Conquest?). Or yetis, like the one from Series 11.

Thank you! And yes, Znap is a real theme. I for one think that it is a fairly underrated theme and I'm surprised that its parts are so underused in the AFOL community. I have a whole box of it as I found them on discount at one point and I find them quite useful as framework for larger Technic MOCs such as this. In fact, I kinda wish I would have bought more when I had the chance so that I could build that life-size Formula 1 racer which they always showed on the back of the instructions.

Cragger's Speedor, mostly made out of Znap:

Congrats, Doc! As others have said, this promotion is really well deserved since you have been doing a great job maintaining the forum while revamping and reviving the forum blog! I'm very thankful for that! Keep up the great work! The Force is strong in this one! By the way, I like how you promoted your sigfig as well! But if you're indeed an Imperial, what does that say about you being a Rebel Bloggers?

Thanks everyone! Sorry to hear that. I guess actor-based crossovers are getting a bit old. Hopefully you'll like these better: SHIELD Shield by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr Bane's Venom by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr Invisible Mandarin by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr

Thanks, SU. Here are some more: Joy Buzz by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr The Lone Space Ranger by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr Skullrond by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr

Thank you! And yes, that's what it's for, as the description says.

Where does it say that it's going to be live-action? I think it's going to be animated like the TV show, just with better visuals. At least I hope so because if it is indeed live-action it would blur the line between Ninjago and Power Rangers even more, and I certainly don't want that. Anyway, this is interesting news. The fact that Ninjago is returning has been known for quite a while, but no one would have thought that it would be a feature film. I just hope they don't diverge from the series too much as that would just piss the fans off. Hopefully it just means that the villains wont be mystical creatures. There has been set rumors which imply that the next bad guys will be some sort of robots which would make sense in that case.

Nice builds, everyone. Here's my first entry, an action figure scale Vengious:

Thanks for all the kind feedback everyone! This project is now on Cuusoo, so if you like it, please follow this link and support it! Thanks! Yes, the idea behind Joker's kart was to not make another green and purple car since Riddler and Luthor already have that color scheme and seems it payed off as he is far in the lead of this race! Batman will have to really hurry up to catch up to him. Thank you! I agree, and I'm glad somebody caught the reference! Yes! Somebody needs to get on that! You're not the only one! Quite frankly, I feel that a new Lego Racers game is overdue, and doing one with licensed themes would make it a real hit I think! Yes, it does exist and I do have it, but I feel it would cover up too much of the green, making it harder to recognize it as a question mark. Thanks for the suggestion though.

If the product placement in Man of Steel would be any more blatant, it would be pretty much this: Product Placement of Steel by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr The Last Gold Bender by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr Wonder Warrior by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr

Haha! Batman's line is classic! This actually looks pretty good! I agree with others here that the stop motion style CG animation is brilliant and very unique! Of course some of the jokes are a little childish, but most of them are pretty funny, like that Michelangelo bit. I've had my doubts, but I'm looking forward to this now!

Hello everyone! I had so much fun making my Toy Story Racers that I simply had to make some for one of my other favorite themes, Super Heroes! I decided to do the DC ones first and as always I designed each racer to reflect the theme/personality of its driver. You may notice that I had to substitute some of the minifigs with customs since I don't have them or that I replaced some with the old versions simply because I prefer those. Backstory: The evil Mongul is forcing Batman and some of his greatest friends and foes to compete with each other in a race to the death! The only rule is that they can't use their superpowers. Who will win? DC Superheroes Racers by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr First up, we have the Bat Family with their racers. Batman is driving a small version of the Batmobile while Robin drives a racer in the colors of his acrobat costume and Nightwing drives a dark racer with the features of a bird. I'm particularly proud of how the latter turned out. Bat Racers by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr Of course there are flames coming out of the back of the Batracer while Robin's racer has some circus lights and Nightwing has a version of his truncheons as a bumper. Bat Racers back by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr Here are the racers of some of Batman's best friends from the Justice League of America: Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman. GL's racer is mostly green aside from the big Lantern logo on the front. Aquaman's racer is hydro-dynamically designed, complete with golden fins as the spoiler. Wonder Woman's racer is about as patriot as her outfit. JLA Racers by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr As you can see in this rear view, even the rear bumper on Wonder Woman's cart is star spangled. JLA Racers back by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr Look, down on the road, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's the Super Racer! Ideally it would have the "S" shield instead of the stars on the front, but I'm purist, so this had to do. Next to him are his two recent movie villains, Lex Luthor and General Zod. Luthor's racer features his signature green and purple color scheme while Zod's has the same dark colors as his space ships. Kneel before Zod's racer!! Super Racers by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr Zod's racer, much like his ships, has green exhausts. Luthor's cart is powered by Kryptonite and has a tube that also connects this power source to his ray gun. The two Kryptonians better steer clear of this racer! Super Racers back by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr Here we have Joker and his crew. What kind of vehicle does the Clown Prince of Crime drive? A clown car of course! One with lots of colors and his face painted onto the front. Riding next to her Mr. J is Harley Quin in her red and black checkered cart. And on Joker's left is their accomplice from the funhouse, the Riddler. His racer is kind of shaped like a puzzle box and is mostly green. But what are those purple markings supposed to represent? Can you solve this riddle? Answer: Joker Racers by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr Harley's racer is even more checkered in the back and her spoiler has a similar shape as her jester hat. Joker Racers back by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr These are the racers of three of Batman's villains who have a freaky look to them. Two-Face's racer is perfectly split into an orange and a purple side, Poison Ivy's racer is completely made out of plants, and Scarecrow's racer is shaped like a square coffin and is covered in various creepy things. Freak Racers by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr Scarecrow's and Ivy's racers leave a trail of fear and poison gas, so I wouldn't drive behind them if I were one of the other racers! Freak Racers back by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr Here we have all the animal themed Bat villains. The Penguin is driving a classy cart that looks just like a big penguin who is sliding on its belly. Killer Croc's racer is basically a crocodile on wheels. And Catwoman's racer - you guessed it - looks like a black cat on the prowl. Listen to that engine purr! Animal Racers by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr Catwoman's racer even has a tail. Penguin's vehicle is amphibian and has a propeller which allows him to drive on water as well! Animal Racers back by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr Mr. Freeze's racer is basically a fridge on wheels. It's a modified zamboni ice resurfacer that Victor Fries built himself. Powered by a special diamond, it can travel very fast and leave a trail of ice. Bane's vehicle is basically a mini version of the drill that he used to break into the Batcave. And yes, the drill on this one spins too. Freeze & Bane Racers by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr Bane's drill has the same kind of details as the regular sized version and the diamond on Mr. Freeze's racer also powers his freeze ray gun. Freeze & Bane Racers back by Oky - Space Ranger, on Flickr I hope you liked them. Please cast your vote for who you think is the best racer in the poll above! And please support this project on Cuusoo! I am already working on a Marvel edition, but it will take some time until it is complete. Let the race begin!
