LEGO Cuusoo: Comics! Comics! Comics!

A Cuusoo idea which caught my attention and which promotes the concept of comics based on minifigs and LEGO gear. This concept is not new, LEGO regularly includes small comics in its sets as is the case with the Super Heroes range today. It can also be found in the LEGO Magazine as it was the case in the January / February 2012 issue with 4 pages on the Star Wars theme.

LEGO knows how to stage its production through various media: Animated films (Clutch Powers), short films intended for TV broadcasting (The Padawan Threat) and why not a range of comics? Obviously, the scenarios would have to be a little more elaborate than the few Ninjago or Star Wars boards to which we are entitled in the LEGO Magazine, but I would be the first to agree to pay a few euros to regularly find the adventures of my minifigs favorites ....

And you what do you think ?

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace - Darth Maul

With this catchy title, I have your undivided attention. For those who have not seen the video below, you will discover that the most famous clash of cinema in the category fluorescent-lightsaber-making-bzzzz is a huge scam and if Darth Maul comes back, he wasn't risking much in this fight ....

Joking aside, we have here a nice work of visual analysis commented with humor that demonstrates that the Jedi may have mastered force, but also dodge and dodge .... After seeing these images, you will not will watch moreEpisode I: The Phantom Menace like before....

Darth Vader Lightsaber by Scott Perterson

Scott Peterson had already amazed us with his lightsabers recreated under LDD (LEGO Digital designer). He now steps up a gear and puts his hand in his brick crate to offer us a very real version of Darth Vader's weapon whose rendering is simply incredible in detail and finish.

This comforts me in the idea that these lightsabers should see the light of day in the form of sets intended for collectors ... Scott Peterson also proposed the idea on Cuusoo but supporters are scarce, they are undoubtedly too busy supporting the Bonanza project initiated by the community which undoubtedly claims a certain recognition ...

However, if you ever want to be able to hope to get these lightsabers in a nice box, with a nice holder and a nice nameplate, please support Scott's initiative on Cuusoo. It doesn't cost you anything, and even if we probably won't go very far with 80 supporters, it's an opportunity to show LEGO that collectors expect something other than yet another remake of Slave I or X- Wing ...

You can see this saber from every angle on the flickr gallery by Scott Peterson.
