    Well, Scrooge and the nephews are happening for me, no question. Given how beloved Uncle Scrooge comics are all over the world, I was always surprised we didn't see him in wave 1.

    When I get around to version 2 I definitely want to use snot bricks in the back... and I love your suggestion for the arms, thank you so much!

    Lego hasn't made enough members of the Legion of Super-Heroes yet... any chance someone could do a Wildfire torso decal? - https://comicvine.gamespot.com/images/1300-480540

    Doc Savage and two of his assistants, Ham and Monk (along with Monk's pig Habeas Corpus sneaking into the shot):

    I have a deep and unironic affection for the Supermobile, goofy as it is, thanks to owning the Corgi toy as a kid and have wanted to make a Lego version for a while. I've seen several really good ones from other folks through the years, a few of which even included some great step-by-step instructions, but I never had the time or patience to figure out what I was lacking brickwise and put in an order for whatever I still needed. I also wanted to make my own version more than just build someone else's, so a week or two ago I figured I'd sit down and see what I could make with what I had available. I'd love to go back and redesign someday to try and cover all the visible studs, but I'm pretty happy with the results of my first attempt. Here's the side view to start... Front view... Cockpit interior (with that scope that allows him to focus his vision powers...

    I tried the Tony Stark hair, but since I'm using a Tony Stark head, it just looked like Tony Stark. Jack's hair could get kinda pompadour-ish at times, though, so I kinda like it. Can't make any of the existing goggle pieces fit around it, though. I've seen some ones from BrickForge that might work out, though.

    Stargirl isn't purist (so, you know, ignore that part of the pic), but I figured if the gray market folks were going to make her, then she needed a Jack Knight version of Starman to go with her, and he is 100% purist: Both of their cosmic staffs (staves?) are purist creations, too. Not 100% satisfied with those, but they were the closest I could come to the hooked ends of 'em with the pieces I had available.

    Thanks, folks! Using the elf headpiece on GG made me a little nervous because it was the first time I had ever used paint on a Lego piece, but I'm happy with how it came out (and that the guy at the hobby store hooked me up with the perfect paint for the job). And the back Stan Shunpike's torso was unexpectedly perfect for Norman's front! Who knew? And extra thanks for the praise on my son's Finn the Human. He'll be pleased that people enjoyed it.

    Some (bad) photos of recent creations: Green Goblin: Carl Sagan: The pie is because of his quote "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe." Also, it was a handy way to cover that Gryffindor crest. Ro-Man (from the movie Robot Monster): My son wanted to get in on this, too, so he made Finn from Adventure Time:

    I like it! I'd just say to slap an LotR ring on his wrist to represent the one webshooter he wore on the show... it'd be the wrong color, but it would get the point across. Or you could paint it gray/silver, I suppose/

    This? This right here? This is outstanding.

    ianmrid, that Strong Guy is amazing. And autorazr, Screwball is great, too. She's one of my favorite characters to come out of Dan Slott's Spider-Man run.

    Darkrattyop, those are awesome. Very clever approach to the movie version of Falcon. And wow, Madcap... I forgot all about him! Nice. That Lockjaw is my favorite, though. Fantastic work there.
  14. LibraryBoy
    These continue to be awesome, Thrash. I'm looking forward to stocking up on BW gear at BrickFair New England in a few weeks!
  15. LibraryBoy
    Pretty much, yeah, though 4 figures instead of just 3 would be preferable.

    What torso is that on Winter Soldier, a Death Star gunner or Imperial officer or something? I like it... I did a more comics-based version using a Lone Ranger head (to get the mask) and one of cavalry torsos, but I like yours a lot better. Good work!
  17. LibraryBoy
    Not a huge fan of the line as a whole, but I might pick up a few. I was really hoping for Professor Frink and Bumblebee Man, though!

    What I'd love at this point are some small "army builder" sets like they do for Star Wars... a small build, a couple of heroes (preferably ones we don't have lots of in other sets) and a couple of villains, or even just henchmen (more Hydra troops, for instance, or some AIM guys for MODOK). You can do 'em for Avengers, X-Men, the JLA... any sort of team scenario, really.

    Fantastic work! All he needs is a big pile of meats.

    ianmrid, those are brilliant, especially Hellcat! Patsy's a particular favorite of mine... I may have to crib that design from you as soon as I get another Batgirl cowl/hairpiece to play with!

    I suppose it depends on what you're after. I like the sleekness of the original, especially because it reminds me of one of my favorite GI Joe toys as a kid, the SR-71-inspired Cobra Night Raven, but yeah, the extended nose/needle is probably more accurate to the genuine article, so if you're committed to coming as close as you can to that, the update is probably the way to go.
  22. LibraryBoy
    Sadly true, but man that would be a great build Either the Javelin or even just a Watchtower meeting table/monitor room set would be great for this... something to fill out the ranks (likewise for any other DC or Marvel team you could name). Too bad we don't get "army builder" sets with super heroes like we do for Star Wars. How great would it be to get a small set with a hero or two and some goons to fight? It was great getting a MODOK in the Hulk lab smash set, but now he needs some AIM hench-scientists to boss around!

    I like it a lot! The bank is especially nice... much better than the one we actually got with the Two-Face Chase, which I always thought looked more like a convenience store!

    I thought J'onn here looked kind of plain at first, but he has really grown on me. Really nice printing all over this figure, especially on the legs, which we don't seem to see as much on superhero figs from TLG lately. The shade of blue used for the cape is nice, too... very eye-catching.
  25. LibraryBoy
    Oh, yeah, I forgot about homless vet golfcart flamethrower Mandarin, though the torso did come in handy for an attempt at a custom version of the War Doctor (John Hurt in the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special), so there's that, I guess.
