Great review! Thanks for posting it. I'm really looking forward to this set.

Saw it last night. It's incredible.

I swoosh pretty often. I'll PEW PEW PEW or add my own dramatic score almost always.

Does Lego's emphasis on minifigures change the way kids play?
Hobbestimus replied to naf's topic in General LEGO Discussion
When I was kid I went to great lengths to make my minifigures unique and name them and come up with personalities and all that. I also enjoyed building models, but anything I built was just to supplement the story I was telling about the characters I had already invented. And this was back before any licensed stuff (although I remember getting a huge thrill when I found Lego was beginning to give names to at least certain characters, like Captain Redbeard). -
I hated the Wonder Woman's leg printing turned out. I mean, full credit to Lego for trying, but I think the "swimsuit" look on female figures should be avoided as much as possible.

*googles*Oh, good pick.

I've had a custom Storm sitting around for ages unfinished because I couldn't decide on which head to use. Guess that riddle's been solved.

Thanks!

Thanks!Martian Manhunter is an Atlantis Portal Emperor chest and a Frankenstein's monster head. Slap on blue hips and a cape and ta-da! GL's weapons and WW's gauntlets are from Brickforge.com

Man, that's great work! You really nailed it.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

I don't know if it's been mentioned, yet, but Ninjago Overborg's hairpiece makes for a great purist Cyborg. I'm still mixing and matching his body, but the head's a winner.

Most of my Lego focus is on recreating pop culture from my childhood. Here are a couple of models I built over the last couple of months based on the Masters of the Universe toyline.

Help with military figs.
Hobbestimus replied to Legofin2012's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Don't forget about Toy Story's Army Men set: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=7595-1 Lots of useful parts there, IMO. -
Love Mojo. Awesome work.
-
Looks like a nice build. I'd love to see some pics of it without the Tumblers present, to get a better sense of what's underneath/behind them. I love that there's a weight room. The kind of detail that Batman would totally have but that is easily overlooked.

REVIEW: 71002 LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 11
Hobbestimus replied to WhiteFang's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Great review! I've been waiting a while for the light blue hands to become more readily avialable, and two figures in this wave has 'em. My cup runneth over! -
I don't own Legends of Chima Eglor myself (yet) but I was looking at pics online and realized his torso is a pretty perfect stand in for Captain America's uniform from the upcoming Winter Soldier movie (minor spoilers at that link). Just put Cap's normal head, hands, and legs on it
-
Love it. Recognized every vignette. I probably could have guessed what the MOC was about without any introduction or superhero emblems. Great job.
-
I love how you did the helmet. Will that piece just clip in as-is or did you have it carve it down any?
