I don't know about you, but as soon as I look at this awesome bust by builder modestolus I hear the theme song from Inspector Gadget. Or maybe it's Doug E Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew, I suppose it could be that. Now I want to pop & lock while beatboxing and watching cartoons, is that weird?
Here's a throw back to the eighties, Inspector Gadget by Legohaulic. I was just a bit old to really get into it when it came out, but I could appreciate his excellent cybernetic modifications. Plus I spent way too much time break dancing to Doug E Fresh, and who can forget the riff from The Show? I'll just leave you with that image, you're welcome.
When Inspector Gadget was reaching the peak of his popularity I'm afraid I was a bit old for cartoons (if that's really possible). What's funny is when I see him what pops into my head is Doug E Fresh. But now I want to flip the whole thing on it's head and when I hear Doug E Fresh I'll think of this outstanding MOC by Orion Pax. Check out his website for a full gallery.
