You better hind your valuables, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald opens this weekend and Niffler loves a bit of shiny shiny. This little platypus-like magical creature has an absolute weakness for treasure, and is cute enough to get away with it. And this brick version by builder Cha Mi captures that cuteness perfectly.
Magical beasts come in all shapes and sizes, and pretty much all are just that much better when constructed in bricks. The peaceful demiguise, brilliantly realized here by builder chris office, has the ability to make itself invisible, as demonstrated in the second image below. I'm guessing most of us wouldn't mind this ability at least a couple times a week.
I personally am enjoying the resurgence of Harry Potter's Wizarding World, I was a big fan of the books, enjoyed the movies and was starting to miss magic in my muggle life. Watching Magical Beasts brought back all those magical feels, and Niffler, brilliantly recreated here in bricks by DOGOD Brick Design, brought a few chuckles. And like all magic, there's usually an element of surprise, like the secrets hidden within this MOC. Click through to reveal all the fun stuff going on here.
So you watched the stores, tracked the delivery trucks, bribed the clerks and fought the kids at Walmart and managed to score some of the new LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures or the new sets, so now what? Well, if you're builder LEGO 7 you build a replica of Newt's case to carry Newt, Tina, Jacob and Queenie, and it's absolutely magical.
