Well, I agree, the image above is not exceptional at first glance.

Although if you take a closer look, you will see that it is a presentation of an MOC of mmccooey which details all the points of articulation of the Spider-Man figurine he presents.

And there are no less than 48 points of articulation that open up multiple possibilities that I let you discover on the flickr gallery of the MOCeur through the many photos that are there ...

We reach new heights when it comes to playability with this type of Action Figures, and LEGO should think about taking an idea or two to mmccooey for his next figurines.

The man is not at his first attempt and you can also go admire Dead Pool et Batman, both designed in the same spirit and presented in detail in their dedicated spaces.

You all know the Planet Series line that LEGO launched this year. Moreover, everyone is groaning at length of topic on the forums so that LEGO leaves such or such planet accompanied by a new minifig ... Here is the opportunity to make your own Planet Series set as part of this organized competition by myself, and for which LEGO Denmark and Artifex are participating in the endowment to which I add a few things.

The rules, arbitrarily decided by me, are very simple:

- You have until September 30, 2012 midnight to participate.

- The object of the competition is to create a MOC (plastic, not virtual) based on the Star Wars universe without any particular restriction (OT, PT, TCW, UE, TOR, SNCF, ANPE, fictitious creation, etc ...) using the principle of the sets of the Planet Series range: A planet (+/- 10 cm in diameter, like the real ones), a machine, a minifig and a support.
- Prohibition to use the planets Children existing already exited: The sphere must be composed exclusively of parts, I know it's tiring ... (Dozens of tutorials are lying around on the internet including techniques for designing a hollow sphere without using too many parts ...)
- The craft or vessel in micro format must be novel him too (existing machine or not but designed by you and not pumped too blatantly on what exists ...).
- You can associate it with the minifigure you want, official or custom.
- The support can be the exact reproduction of that delivered in the sets of the Planet Series range. 

Take a nice photo of the MOC, preferably on a neutral background and with sufficient lighting (avoid Grandma's checkered tablecloth or the living room parquet ...). 

Remember to give a name to the different elements of the MOC (Character, ship, planet)

When you have finished, you send me the photo of the MOC (max. 2MB / 1024x768) via the submission form below:

- You enter your username and your email.
- You attach the photo (It's better ...).
- You briefly describe your MOC in the message.

It's nice to make you work, but what do we win ? and who decides?

So I put you at ease right away, no bogus voting sequence or cronyism in the program (I vote for you, you vote for me and not for him, etc ...). 

Entries will be collected, displayed on the page dedicated to this competition and a mysterious but honest jury will determine which MOCs deserve to be recognized. It's totally arbitrary, surely unfair and not objective at all, but that's how it is.

The judges are MOCeurs, people who play with their bricks, people who sell bricks and your servant who will give his opinion as usual.

Well, I'm not going to tell the movie so as not to spoil the fun of those who haven't seen it yet, but Tiler offers us here something frankly successful.

I recognized this truck at first glance, and anyone who saw The Dark Knight Rises will agree with me that it really looks like ...

Tiler also offers a new version of the machine that LEGO should offer us in the next set based on the movie : The Bat.

Again, it is very similar, and LEGO will have to surpass itself to offer a Tumbler in camouflage version and this machine without disappointing fans who already know the achievements offered by the most talented MOCeurs.

I don't expect a miracle, I just hope the passage to the LEGO mill profitability / number of pieces / scale System will not detract too much from the design of these two iconic vehicles ...

Hulk_Smash, forumerEurobricks which had access to the retailer catalog for 2013, brings us some information on the next sets of the LEGO Super Heroes range:

The Tumbler in camouflage version is confirmed, along with The Bat. the set from The Dark Knight Rises is therefore confirmed.

Le Batman in white version that we discovered at San Diego Comic Con 2012 will be delivered in a set with the BatBoat, Mr. Freeze et Aquaman.

A set presumably inspired by the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series containing Spider-Man, J. Jonah Jameson, Doctor doom et Ultimate beetle, in a large plane, is also confirmed.

Another Spider-Man set containing the Spider-Man, Venom et Nick Fury in a vehicle is also on the program.

Hulk_Smash confirms that he only saw these four sets in the 2013 dealer catalog.

10.000 supporters in a few hours thanks to the mobilization from Reddit members... Once again, a Cuusoo project achieves the necessary score to go to phase 2 in record time thanks to the massive vote of a community.

But this reproduction of Curiosity deserves LEGO interest, at least as long as we talk about it every day in the news and regularly give us a few photos of the rocky ground of Mars taken by the over-equipped robot.

The review phase will begin in September and my little finger tells me that this MOC has the profile to end up in a set: Playable and educational, it will delight children and parents as was the case in 2003 with the Discovery range.

The MOC can already be reproduced thanks to instructions in pdf format and LDD file (LEGO Digital Designer) offered (free) by its creator.
