We cannot say that Loki's minifigure in the sets 6867 Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape et 6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle is particularly detailed: His outfit, however faithful to that of the film, looks more like a three-piece suit than anything else and his helmet lacks a little relief and shine.

Geoshift solved the problem by modifying the minifig in an excellent way. The legs used here are from the Castle range, and the rest has been painted in a very nice way. The result is truly stunning: The minifigure has a darker look. the scepter was also modified then painted to give it a more tribal touch with the skull and chain. 

Nice work of artistic creation on this custom, you can congratulate Geoshift directly on his flickr gallery and take the opportunity to discover his many other achievements.

Leaks continue from the Mexican production plant with this Uruk-Hai apparently from the set 9674 The Orc Forge that a Eurobricks forumer bought at auction on eBay. You can also afford one at this address, the sale is still in progress ....

It would also appear that these brave LEGO employees are lining their pockets with various and varied parts, then trying to piece together the original minifigs with varying degrees of success. This gives us magnificent customs based on official coins which are then sold at a high price on eBay, no doubt to add a little meat to the evening fajita ...

The same seller, located in San Antonio, TX and arguably in the Mexican brick cartel loop, was offering a custom Legolas of the set 9473 The Mines of Moria, with legs that are not those that will be delivered in the official range and a priori the head of Gimli ...

And it's an old classic that I offer here: The Battle for Helm's Deep: TXsamwise's brickfilm which dates from 2004 but which remains a kind of essential reference ...

You will see action, humor, Strength, characters who have nothing to do there, in short only good for over 8 minutes. And what's more, the vintage side will delight those nostalgic for the Castle and Kingdoms ranges. Star Wars fans will also find something there ...

So go waste 8 minutes of your life watching or rediscovering this video made in Windows Movie Maker, while waiting for LEGO to offer us some interesting information on the LEGO Lord of the Rings range ...
