Iron Man

I wouldn’t classify myself as a diehard Marvel fan, there’s been quite a few of the movies I’ve skipped. It’s not that I had anything against them, I just wasn’t interested. I may be suffering a from a bit of super hero fatigue, but I’m also perfectly fine with it. Some of the characters just don’t grab me, but one that does, and one of the movies that absolutely nailed it, was the first Iron Man. While I wasn’t a big comic reader as a kid, I was a Spiderman and Iron Man fan, and I’ll admit I was really skeptical when they announced it. But I loved it, still do, so this excellent sculpture of Iron Man by Aaron Brick Designer instantly had my attention.

The Patron Saint Of Comics

It’s hard to describe the impact of this man. His imagination and talent brought forth a tsunami of creativity and escapism to generations of people. From the early days of the fledgling comic book company Marvel to the behemoth of the Marvel cinematic universe, he is one of the handful of people that were the start of it all. His influence was the spark for so many creative people now, and will be for the foreseeable future. From young artists learning to draw right now, to aspiring filmmakers, to artists working in other mediums, like bricks. Builder vincentkiew has crafted this fitting tribute to an incredible man, Stan Lee.

Doc Ock

Fun fact: I worked on Spiderman 2. Not so fun fact: I spent most of the time working on a single shot that was when this guy showed up and some metal panels got pulled off the wall, blink and you missed it. Doctor Octopus, depicted here by vitreolum, is one of those villains that everyone knows, but no one really “knows”, you know? He’s actually a pretty complex character, who just happens to be a mad scientist with mechanical appendages hell bent on proving his genius while smashing Spiderman.

Star-Lord, Man. Legendary Outlaw!

Brickatecture returns, unveiling his brand new wearable Star-Lord / Peter Quill helmet after 3 months of hard work. This model is 100% LEGO, 100% wearable, and 100% awesome. The helmet itself barely seems LEGO, especially with all the fine hair detailing that went into this model. All of the time and parts that went into this creation sure seems to have paid off! Make sure to follow Brickatecture for more amazing life size LEGO replicas!

     My name is Nathaniel Stoner, and I am an very active LEGO builder.  I mostly build in the themes of castle and science-fiction, but I also dabble in other genres and create occasional random MOC's (My Own Creations). 

     When I was younger, I would get and build small LEGO sets for my birthday, but I was never really into them.  When they fell apart, I would become frustrated attempting to put them back together and would throw them in a box in my closet.  I couldn't stand them!

     Then, miraculously, I became addicted to the LEGO brick later in my teen years.  Ever since, I have continued to build up (pun intended) my collection of bricks and to expand my knowledge of techniques and building skills.  LEGO is truly more than a toy, its an art form and a way to express yourself.

     For the most part, I collect LEGO Star Wars (mainly the minifigs), which is probably my favorite LEGO theme.  I have a fairly decent collection, including some of the original 1999 sets, such as the Snowspeeder, X-Wing, and Naboo starfighter.  I also collected LEGO the Lord of the Rings when those sets first came out.  The minifigs are great, and the story remains one of my favorites ever.

VENOM

Brickatecture MOC Industries is back with another fantastic LEGO superheroes model, which was completed just in time for Halloween! Man is now combining LEGO and Symbiote to make this scary realistic Venom mask made 100% from LEGO elements! “This LEGO Venom Helmet is fully wearable and features a working puppet jaw (the helmet talks when you talk). It took 3 weeks to build and features about 1000 pieces.” Not only is the mask insanely cool on its own, but the builder can even wear it and operate the jaw to make Venom talk at the same time! Ridiculously cool.

I am now hungry for Tater Tots. You’re welcome.

Stormbreaker

Brickatecture has returned with another astounding recreated LEGO prop! Stormbreaker is the new iconic weapon of the God of Thunder, Thor, as seen in Avengers: Infinity War. The builder did an incredible job building this model, and had this to say about it: “Fully capable of summoning the Bifröst. This swingable, battle ready LEGO axe took only 2 weeks and 1,000 LEGO bricks to make. I’d say my favorite part was creating the hammer shape on the back using wedge plates and ball joints. And thanks to Groot, the handle is super sturdy.” The shaping on the blade truly is something, and the little added detailing of the roots wrapping around the metal is an excellent touch.

Tiny Avengers

What better way to celebrate the release of the latest Marvel movie, and the biggest box office smash in history, than with a teeny tiny micro build of the main characters, the Avengers. Builder 2 Much Caffeine took a literal handful of parts and assembled the greatest super-hero team ever to grace the pages of comics or the big screen (unless you're a Super Friends or Justice League fan, in which case I invite you to debate below).

Infinitely Small

Don't Touch L.O.L.A.

Anybody who closely follows the Marvel Cinematic Universe surely is familiar with Agent Philip Coulson, and his fancy car Lola. "Don't touch Lola." PsychoBrick took Coulson's flying car to a whole new level by designing this mech version of the corvette. Seriously, how cool is this model? The inclusion of the printed Lola element fits perfectly into the abdomen section, which I think is really designed well. Overall a very cool and creative model!

Wearable Ant Man Helmet

Some super heroes have no super powers, only access to very special equipment and the determination and skill to use it. A similar notion could be said of builders, we all have access to the same bricks, but only a few have the determination and skill to turn them into something super. Builder Brickatecture crafted this wearable Ant Man helmet, and while some purists might take issue with the scavenged plastic lenses and paint, everyone has to agree it's pretty super.

The Claaaaaaaaws of Adamantium

Movie inspired props are always a cool thing to see recreated in LEGO, even if it's the smallest detail or piece of equipment. In 2017, we have seen the sun set on such an iconic hero for several generations -- Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. Though he only had the parts to build one set of blades, Milan Sekiz has revealed his Adamantium Wolverine claws. Man, are these things so cool...and shiny. Obviously these blades would not be supported between the fingers on their own, so Milan came up with an interesting solution, making them into a pair of super scary and sharp brass knuckles, that attach at the wrist. They are instantly recognizable as the Wolverine's claws, but they also could be some sick blades for another warrior. Incredibly cool model!

The Vulture Is Swooping

Swords, knives, guns, droid arms, binoculars -- all put to good use in this MOC! Spider-Man: Homecoming comes out in just a few weeks. Custom Vulture designs was something I knew I would see several of in time. This is the first high quality model of Vulture's suit I've seen produced by a builder thus far. Truly a work of art, shaping and filling the gaps by using parts that would've never been used in such ways. If you'd like a full 360 look, check out the video on Grantmasters' photostream.

I Am Groot, I Am Groot. I Am Groot!

I am Groot, I am Groot, I am Groot. I am Groot! I am Groot. . .

Thank you for telling us a little bit about yourself, Groot. I'll take it from here. Markus Rollbühler is clearly excited to see our favorite baby tree in existence on the big screen! Now, this little figure of Groot is excellent, especially the shaping of the head, and those cute little eyes. I think the sand green was a nice color choice, even when mixed with the olive green. I also really love the control device, with those buttons and levers. My only question is, who has the tape? Not a single person has tape? I think we should put some tape over the death button.

I am Groot!

And You Had Trouble Picking Out A Tie This Morning

Tony Stark certainly has no shortage of suits, both three piece and Iron Man suits. One he uses for guest appearances at charity auctions and being a playboy on the town, the other he uses when he needs to look business-like. I don't know if this MOC by John Toulouse has every single Iron Man minifigure that has ever been made, but it certainly looks like it (even the micro-fig!). It also has some fun surprises on the back side, very cool.

Well, I've Seen Stranger. . .

Your friendly neighborhood LEGO builder Vitreolum, a reputable character builder, recently created something rather strange. . .Steven Strange.  "It's Doctor, actually."  Right, sorry -- Doctor Steven Strange.  Please don't zap me to another dimension.  The latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Doctor Strange film was a very intriguing film that added some of the craziness the movies needed.  This model here depicts the iconic character's classic look in contrast to Benedict Cumberbatch's updated movie version.  The builder utilizes an interesting detailed piece to act as the Eye of Agamotto, Mr. Strange's (I meant doctor) iconic necklace that may or may not contain an Infinity Stone.  Does this inspire you to try building him yourself?  Stranger Things have happened!

This Issue: Everybody Dies!

Henry Pinto has completed the daunting task of building this massive LEGO Sentinel, complete with a working light center. I've always loved the menacing, monolithic forms of these villains, contrasted with their bright pink heads and highlights, and this one looks like it could easily stomp on all of those tiny X-minifigures.

A Very Marvel Christmas To You

Action!  Joy!  Easter eggs!  Bright colors!  Good food!  Superheroes!  This is how a true Marvel Christmas should be done, which is exactly what Milan Sekiz did!  It appears that the Avengers and the Guardians have gotten a crossover sooner than expected.  Personally, I would watch a Christmas special with all of these characters uniting for the holidays, but that's just me.  There are many little details in this creation, so make sure to zoom in and take a closer look!  You may find some familiar items decorating their tree. . .
