I was looking for a quality MOC of the Droideka and came across some pictures on a forum. One thing leading to another, I said to myself that this one had it all: Simple, well designed and articulated. Even if it dates from 2010, this Droideka deserves a little attention and its designer even offers the list of necessary parts to its assembly.

I take this opportunity to talk again here about the Droideka based on Bionicle parts proposed by True Dimensions a few months ago and whose I was talking to you on the blog.

To discover this version from every angle and in two different colors, go to the flickr gallery by lower_torso.

ACPin returns with an imposing diorama reproducing the scene seen in theEpisode I: The Phantom Menace. As usual, this staging is full of details and the finish is perfect. One can hardly hope for better when it comes to reproducing this scene from the film.

This diorama will be exhibited at two upcoming exhibitions in the USA, and should delight visitors. Once again ACPin gives a lesson in know-how in the field of large-scale diorama ...

To discover this scene in detail, go to ACPin website, he is not stingy with photos and the dedicated gallery is filled with shots from all angles.

In view of the astronomical prices reached on eBay by the Darth Maul distributed at the New York Toy Fair 2012, I decided ... to wait. This bagged minifig has sold for up to $ 500 ...

This polybag will surely resurface soon during a promotion or a show. In the meantime, I didn't want to stay frustrated that I didn't have a Darth Maul version returning in The Clone Wars and I got the custom of Green Pea Toys I offer you here a photo taken at the moment. It's better than nothing and above all it's much cheaper ....

Definitely, despite the many visuals of the Iron Man minifigure circulating, it is difficult to understand the size of the helmet and its scale in relation to the rest of the minifigure. These images of the final version of the minifigure of the set 6867 Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape finally allow us to better realize that the helmet is really oversized. We have the impression of dealing with one of these characters in version chibias an those big-headed toys .

I remain convinced that I would have preferred that LEGO sacrificed the opening of the helmet by silkscreening a head with the helmet and adding an extra Tony Starck head in the box ...
