Nice bit of painting

~Amadgunslinger~ brings us some nice painted figures here, I like the vests and the hair on the girl. Sweet gold guns too (o:

A few treats before bed

Another of Morgan190's October minifigs (I'm exercising restraint and not posting ALL of his here because I am hoping you will all keep tabs on his Flickr stream!). Again some nice use of non-lego parts here, as per usual (o: I feel a bit sorry for this chap... not too good at astroboxing is this guy!

Some nice virtual X-Men action again from mnap73. Here he has the X-Men facing off against The Sentinals. Nice to see Iceman in there... he was always a favourite of mine. Check out his flickr photostream for more nice digital superhero goodness.

How about a slice of Lego Dead Space action? Chaosfish1 has put together a dead space themed minifig, which is quite nice. Ok, not the cleanest minifig finish I've seen but... it suits the mood of the game no? I quite like the modded clone helmet here too.

Creations for Charity

I have, ever since getting back into Lego, been very impressed by how much FOLs like to give back to their own community and the wider community. Creations for Charity is one such method and I would urge anyone who can to get involved. This might mean donating creations to be sold or by purchasing donated items. Please visit the web site for more information. 
I think this will probably be the year where I donate as well as buy, as I am planning on making some special custom minifigs to be sold. I hope you guys out there can consider doing something too, if you can.

Black Widow Custom

This Black Widow custom comes courtesy of Ubergeek, who I dont remember seeing much from recently (which is a shame). Apparently this is going to accompany a new Iron Man fig... which I am all in favour of.

Piiiikkkkachuuuuu!! Nooooooo!!

I can't believe Ash and Professor Oak ate Pikachu!  Thanks Joris Blok (o;

It must be nearly Halloween...

Because Morgan is back! and he's bringing us more horrific minifig magic... here is October 1st.

El Hombre de los Muertos!

If you don't already know Morgan (aka Morgan190 on flickr) is a brilliant minifig customiser, who is highly skilled in digital trickery. He also enjoys celebrating the halloween month of October by sharing some creepy, spooky and chilling minifigs with the world. Morgan is very well known for his characteristicly slick presentation style, atmospheric descriptions and use of non-lego pieces on his minifigs to great effect. I'm personally really pleased he's back for this october season and will be checking his flickr stream every morning for a new dose of minifig themed scares and so should you!

Modern Combat minifigures

*TheRaconteur* has put this selection of Modern Combat soldiers together and I think the overall effect is pretty nice. They look painty, which I approve of - in particular the medals painted on the old looking guy (who I suspect is a long lost relation of Harry Potter) (o:
