Avengers Minifigs – Fan Made Figures Pre-empt Lego

If you are impatiently awaiting 2012’s Avengers movie and you are a lego fan then these fan made minifigs should put a smile on your face.  Lego are not due to release their own set until the release of the movie and so überfan Andrew Becraft went ahead and made his own.

The gang is all here - Iron Man, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America, Thor, and The Hulk.With time, patience and more than a little mix and match ingenuity using other Lego sets, the team of Marvel Comics superheroes slowly took shape. Their look is based on "classic" versions of the characters and this lineup is based on the movie coming out next year.

Becraft suspects the lineup also corresponds to the official minifigs due out in 2012 as well (since it's probably also based on the movie). He just wanted to get my own versions out before the official ones. It probably took some time to put together, so if you want to preempt the movie too, you had better start working now!

Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith gets the Lego Minifig Treatment

While it remains perplexing why Lego do not do a Doctor Who minifig set there are enterprising fans out there who go ahead and make their own.  Forefront of these is the amazing Mr Spielbrick who can do amazing things with lego simply by mixing and matching pieces from other sets.  We reckon that he has Matt Smith down to a t and has even managed to get a fez in there!

Not that we should forget the eleventh Doctor's companion, Amy Pond.  Here she is too, red hair and top, in her own minifig incarnation.

You have to say, Mr Spielbrick catches their essence very well!  We would like to thank him for allowing us to reproduce his photographs here.  Please visit his Flickr Photostream where you will find many other minifigs that Lego do not produce!
