Glorious Horus

Maybe it's because I loved myths and legends as a child, or perhaps because this figure is freakin' awesome, but I can't help but be mesmerized by this rendition of the infamous Horus by LEGO 7. The god of the sky and protector of the pharaoh is truly done justice here and I can just imagine him swooping into battle against his evil uncle Seth on his quest to unite Egypt. If there's one thing that I've learned from ancient myths and legends (not to mention Star Wars), it's that there's nothing more glorious and dangerous than a family dispute. Am I right?

So, you're recently deceased and mummified huh? Well congratulations! Next stop the afterlife, just as long as you can get there. Not to worry though, you've got protection. Meet Anubis, the jackal-headed god by builder dennis qiu. Now just gather up your belongings (and don't forget your kidneys in that jar over there) and make your way to the kingdom of the dead (and no line jumping).

MOC - Anubis

Anubis

I personally think the ancient Egyptians might have been on to something with their worship of anthropomorphized dogs and cats and stuff. Take Anubis here, part man, part Jackal, all badass (and a stunning MOC by The Deathly Halliwell). It makes me wonder what form my Corgis would take, they're already funny looking. They could be the gods of mirth and stubby legs. Although I'm pretty sure my cats are plotting to kill me, so I better start worshiping them too.
