All good things must come to an end. Today brings us to the end of our Advent Calendar adventure. Thanks for coming along with us for 24 days of surprise gifts. We hope you enjoyed the bonus builds and banter. We have an all-star cast of custom minifig creators leading our Advent adventure this year. Fool’s Figures is wizarding his way through Harry Potter and Frozen calendars. ExpansionBricks is launching Star Wars and Friends. And beyondb0nes is digging into Minecraft and City. Now let’s open some doors and see what gifts are in store for today! Fools: Harry’s (Or his dad’s, James) Patronus is our last wizardly gift this holiday season. I think it’s a suitably whimsical build, but looking back over the calendar as a whole it certainly feels lacking this year, especially compared to other themes. Bones: Like yesterday’s Disney gift, trans-light blue is a win. Somehow it looks...

The buildable Technic Star Wars figures from a decade ago received generally mixed feedback, but several of the molded and printed parts were a big hit. This topic reappeared with the release of 75434 K-2SO Security Droid this year, with many builders and collectors discussing the possibility of using the molded head from the buildable K2SO instead. Builder nobu_tary takes a similar approach here with an expert build of General Grievous, using the head from the buildable figure in set 75112. This is a sizable build with a ton of great details all over. The most impressive aspect of the build is that it captures Grievous’ especially tricky shape and proportions very well, and when compared to the Technic buildable this version feels so much more like the Separatist leader that we’ve all grown to love.

Peacock The peacock has a blue and turquoise color scheme with some yellow beak and legs. The arms are replaced with wings and there’s a large piece for the plumage which has some metallic printing on it. This is the same for the peacock hat as well. His double-sided head shows him with smiles on both sides. The...
