What Is Going On In My Head

For the first time ever the secret has been revealed as to the anatomical makeup of the typical Adult Fan Of LEGO (AFOL) thanks to builder Nikita Nikolsky. Thanks to modern science and creative building we can see the inner workings of the typical brick brained AFOL. Don't be alarmed, we're all perfectly fine (well, most of us) and you have nothing to worry about. Unless you consider storage space, budget, every flat surface of your living area and of course the continual cliche threat of stepping on a brick.

Working On My Brick Pack

This is a pretty amazing bit of human form sculptural work by builder timofey_tkachev. The combination of System and Hero Factory is pretty seamless, and the results are superb. The posing is also excellent, seemingly catching this figure in motion. And the whimsical addition of a colorful plate "six pack" adds a humorous, light hearted touch.

Inside Out

This one's a bit morbid, but tempered with whimsy. Builder simplybrickingit built this MOC that rides a fine line between anatomical and humor. But it's the part use that really caught my attention. So many creative decisions in this, and so much questionable taste. Like my old friend James Cummins used to say, "inside each one of us is a skeleton dying to get out"

Inside Every One Of Us There's A Skeleton Dying To Get Out
