A couple more nostalgic-induced projects have reached the 10,000 supporter goal on LEGO Ideas. We’re now up to 94 projects that have reached the Second 2025 Review Stage even though it seems that the LEGO TikTok trend is now over and we’re back to “normal” voting.

In this ongoing “Before and After” series, we explore how custom-made creations sometimes anticipate official elements eventually released by LEGO. For this special summer edition, we’re diving deep (literally) into underwater creatures and swimming back up to land for a few surprises on the surface. Let’s take a closer look at these nautical elements and their official LEGO counterparts. Dangerous Anglerfish The depths of the ocean hold great potential for some amazing underwater adventures, especially in LEGO form. The sea bed is full of colorful coral, lurking monsters, and if you get too deep, one very hungry anglerfish. This monster is a crazy mix of glued and sculpted paper, with LED lights on the inside. I sculpted the anglerfish specially for dark and mysterious scenes where the small source of light from the fish’s body is a key element of storytelling.

Zane has captured the moment in all its studly goodness; we make a lot of builds that hide their studs, but I like how all these statues are really embracing their studs! The framing here is superb. The shot from below, combined with the brick-built splashes of water, really make you feel the ferocity of this powerful water Pokemon!

At first glance, I didn’t realize this was a LEGO build, primarily due to the wonderful scaling. But I was also caught off guard by Tim Inman’s choice of model.

While the exterior design, from running lights to the paint scheme, is great, don’t skip out on a peak at the interior. The engine and cab fit the time period perfectly…space to jump around in both! Even though it is made from LEGO bricks, I can feel the cushy nature of those seats. Food and sleep…so long as we pack a lawn chair, I don’t need anything else.
