More vigs from Darkspawn

Apart from the cheerleader/ninja vig in the earlier post, DARKspawn has a few other great vigs (and older works) in his flickr account.  I’ll feature some here, and leave you to browse the rest of his work at your leisure. 😉

One of my fav is the diver one that uses great forced perspective.

Master of invisibility

More on cheerleaders, I thought this was really funny, and love the little details like the bar of soap dropped on the floor.  If you’ll like to comment, do drop by by DARKspawn‘s flickr account.

OMG I’m so jealous!

Why am I jealous? Cos VerSen from Eurobricks has managed to amass 28 cheerleaders, and formed his squad… they look gorgeous don’t they?  So which hairstyle do you like best?

Update on Collectible Minifigs (8683) at Bricksworld

Update: Only 8 boxes left at PS BW when I went to collect my box at around 7.30 pm.  Minifigs have also arrived in Toyshunt and likely Secret Chamber (since they are only supplied to the Lego exclusive stores).  Anyone have news and can update via comments?

*******************************

I was at Plaza Singapura Bricksworld during lunch.  Deliveries were being unpacked and I heard they are next headed to Takashimaya so both outlets should have all the July sets by the time you read this.

Of most interest might be the status of the Collectible Minifig series 1 (8683).  I only saw 16 boxes in PS BW… (and only 15 left after I left!).  Yep, really really limited stock so better head down asap if you want to get hold of the minifigs.  No loose packs this time round due to the limited supply.  So you either get one entire box, or nothing.

Interestingly the boxes look like they were tampered with cos the seals were cut, and re-sealed.  I opened the box I bought on the spot and no change to the minifig composition tho.  So I got:

4 Cavemen
3 Cheerleaders
3 Circus Clowns
4 Cowboys
5 Deep Sea Divers
5 Demolition Dummies
4 Forestmen
4 Magicians
5 Ninja
3 Nurses
4 Robots
3 Skaters
4 Spacemen
3 Super Wrestler
3 Zombies

Lego Minifig Series 2 (8684)

I was just curious about the next series of collectible minifigs and a quick search turned this out:

Spartan – with spear and shield

Life guard – with rescue buoy

Witch – with broom

Pop Star – with microphone

Weight lifter – with weight barrel

Ring master – with stick

Jungle Explorer – with magnifying glass and telescope

Karate kid – with trophy

Surfer – Beach Boy with surf board

Egyptian – with scepter

Dracula – with bat

Traffic cop – with ticket and handcuffs

Mime artist – with 3 changeable masks

Skier – with ski and sticks

Disco Stu – with an afro hairstyle and a LP

(descriptions from Brickipedia: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/8684_Minifigures_Series_2)

Heard it’s due out in September. 

Personally, I’m looking forward to the Mime and the “Pam Anderson” lookalike… and I think the Spartan will be highly sought after by army builders.  Surfer dude’s torso will offer some nice possibilities to mod as well. 

So which is your favourite?
