hulkfeet

In this slightly blurry photo, you see the Hulk minifigure from another angle, which was presented at San Diego Comic Con 2011.

In this picture we can clearly see the feet of the figurine which remains more of the Wampa family than that of Iron Man or Captain America ... I am not sure that despite its exceptional proportions compared to a human being, The Hulk needed this treatment.

I bought a custom Hulk minifig (Photo in this article) produced by Christo and I must admit that I prefer it to this minifigure that LEGO will soon be offering in the set 6868 Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout.

Padme Amidala by Lakuda's customs

Special thanks Ezechielle for info about this Padme Amidala custom lost in a flickr gallery between some futuristic soldiers and ISA members from Killzone. By the way, if you like the LEGO Militaria, go on blog, you will be served. If you don't like it go ahead anyway it's informative ....

It is so rare to be able to admire Padme Amidala / Natalie Portman in the form of a minifigure, that we have to jump at every opportunity ... And this one is nice and very well done.

This custom resumes the very becoming outfit (From the verb seoir) of theEpisode II Attack of the Clones, and apart from the poorly chosen hair, we can not blame him much.

Note the use of a bust adornment from home BrickTW, Taiwanese specialist in custom LEGO accessories mainly relating to oriental history.

The Flash by Sparkytron

I'm not usually a fan of Bionicles and other Hero Factory ... Generation question probably, because my 8 year old son loves it.

However, I must admit that this MOC of Sparkytron, who enters the competition Lego superheroes, is really successful. It perfectly reproduces the silhouette so familiar of Flash and this using pieces of sets Hero Factory. The colors are faithful to the costume of the fastest hero on the planet and the mask is simply stunning in ingenuity. Only the Flash logo has been replaced by the white Hero Factory symbol.

Other views are available in Sparkytron's flickr gallery.

Tumbler & Batpod by bricked one

Another Tumber MOC, you might say ... But this one has some interesting features: It is on a minifig scale, it can accommodate 2 minifigs side by side in the cockpit and above all it turns into a Batpod.

The design is quite close to the original model seen in The Dark Knight and the Batpod transformation process is very ingenious: The front part of the Tumbler detaches and converts into a Batpod via two joints.

In the end, this MOC is an excellent compromise between design, playability and functionality.

bricked one offers many photos of this MOC on his flickr gallery.
