Poor cyclops, he gets such a bad rap. Centuries of stories and horrible accounts have left him on the outs with a reputation for aggression and violence. The truth of the matter is with no depth perception he has a bad tendency to bump his head on the ceiling of his cave, which would leave anyone in a continual bad mood. Combine that with the inability to see The Force Awakens in 3D and I just feel sorry for the guy. Another stellar build by LEGO 7.
You can always count on builder Karf Oohlu to show you ways to use parts you never would have imagined. We've seen mini fig helmets used as shoulders before, but have you ever seen them combined with rotary saws to build a console? The scale of this MOC is fun too, with microfigs in a diorama.
Taz-Maniac is back and this MOC is pure fun. It's also studriffic, and I kinda like it. Normally the trend is to minimize studs these days, but not here, and it lends a texture that just adds to the charm of this piece. Those sheep crack me up too.
