That's great. If every there were a reason to resurrect Fabuland characters, an Animal Crossing theme could do it! This is simple, effective, and allows role play. Nice build.

What kind of clarification do you need? It's a goofy video (sadly pretty accurate on the US side of it, anyway) made by a Chinese media firm. There are an awful lot of Youtube videos on various subjects that use Lego as the characters, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's lovely. Nice combination of the leaf elements and flowers. Fun details throughout the house, too.

That's great. Deceptive scale, effectively done.

Welcome to EB, Mark! Trains and pirates? Can't go wrong there! Happy building!

This is awesome. You've definitely captured Beaker very well, and the flames and posing are dynamic. The nose and eyes are simple, but really spot-on!

Looks good. I definitely like the way you've done the base of the tower and the stairs.

This is beautiful! The more you look at it, the better it gets since there are so many nice details.

This is great! Such a goofy, fun design and you've captured it very well. You could still add the giant deck canon, though.

Welcome to EB, Tobias! Looking forward to seeing some of your MOCs. Happy building!

Nice! Effective build, and I must say that the Director's chair in particular is clever and works very well.

I think microscale is appreciated, certainly by AFOLs and also by others that see those creations somewhere and, as pombe said, TLC has been making random microscale sets or polybags for a while now. The Mini-Modulars, Harry Potter, and original Minecraft ones come to mind as larger examples. I think where it may be an issue with TLC not producing sets regularly or as a whole line in their own right has 2 main issues that aren't worth them trying to overcome. 1. The abstract and perception thing again: what makes sense for the subject matter for a wide audience and what play features do you include to try to appeal to the lower age ranges as well since clearly there isn't enough demand just from AFOLs to have made it a product line, and kids definitely "get" microscale but probably don't have enough interest to buy it over the other sets available. I definitely think Polly Pocket or MicroMachines playsets could get some traction, but again probably not enough to build a whole wave around, especially considering TLC's penchant for character-based storytelling to go along with their sets. 2. As we well know, TLC is all about the System, and when it comes to microscale there doesn't seem to be any consistency for size/scale. I don't see that as a problem at all for doing creative builds in general, and it's a lot of fun when you see that perfect part usage in a micro build that you just know the rest of the MOC was built around. But when you're trying to develop a whole wave, what scale do you settle on so there's consistency? If I were trying to decide on a standard, based on parts availability I think there would be a different "natural" scale for land vehicles, aircraft, sea vessels, and buildings, and that could be hard to reconcile for a commercial product. Going back to your thoughts on efficient space utilization, set cost, etc., I think one thing that TLC could try would be a small group of Creator-style sets that are basically a big parts box (like the Minecraft Crafting Boxes, or the 40222 holiday promotion set from a couple years ago, with each one being able to build a whole variety of microscale things. A whole tiny village, or train layout, or naval armada, etc., all from a few hundred small pieces and adaptable to all sorts of other things with the techniques shown in the instructions as inspiration. That could be fun, and I think would have mass appeal at what could be a very reasonable price point.

Delightful. Nicely executed all-around. And I agree with the others on how well the SNOT arches work here!

Welcome to EB, Simone! As leafan said, there's a lot going on with Lego and tabletop gaming (RPG and otherwise), so you'll no doubt have plenty of inspiration here and I look forward to your contributions and creations as well. Happy building!

I am for the most part a Purist... but nonetheless this is incredible work! Very clean finishes, and a nice concept and final product. Nicely done!

I like both, but the nostalgia factor tips me towards the old design. I agree, however, that the old one is not consistently well printed and doesn't feel as "Lego-y" as the new shape of the skull. I think I'll quickly get used to the new design, though.

These are great! I was just putting together a CMF-style lineup and diorama of the original Adventurers characters and seeing this more modern take on basically the same theme is wonderful. Great selections and combinations here!

Looking great so far! It may be a "poor man's" version, but I'd drive it. Looking forward to seeing what more gets added.

Lovely all-around, and the flip with the Lego grasshopper IRL in the first image is great!

Nice! Hard to capture all the curves and odd angles at that scale, but I think you've done a good job. The hood in particular came out great.

Nice build. Has a Classic Pirates feel to it and looks like a lot of fun! Here's a tutorial on linking/embedding Flickr images in your posts: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/97921-flickr-tutorial/

Nice! Feels like a cross between a Colonial Viper, and the Destiny (from SG:U), in a good way.

Welcome to EB, Legronchess! Looking forward to seeing your creations. Happy building!

The cart and chains totally sell it! Nice!

This is a masterpiece. The shaping is wonderful and looks fabulous in azure, and the details on the tail end are gorgeous! And the luggage, even! Bravo.
