Takamichi Irie's tiny animals are making a large impression on many LEGO enthusiasts. When building your own animals, it is no easy task. The smaller you make the creatures, the less detail they have, and they look less organic. Now, some of these may not be scaled for minifigures, but if you went much smaller with these organisms, they wouldn't be nearly as cool. Which is your favorite?! Mine has got to be that rooster.

It's one of the first things you see when you enter the Magic Kingdom, a dinging bell, the clomping of a draft horse and the bright shining faces of those aboard the trolly. These rides have been operating since 1955 and have carried countless passengers over the years. This version by builder TJJohn12 captures the look perfectly, and that's Danny pulling the car if I'm not mistaken. The augmented horse figure and bridle are absolutely brilliant.

This is by far the best small-scale AT-AT I have seen in LEGO form! Thanks to MIro Dudas, we instantly recognize this iconic scene and vehicle from The Empire Strikes Back. This model is so incredibly accurate, if I happen let my eyes go out of focus, it doesn't even appear to be LEGO. It also appears that the midsection could be easily switched out with orange elements to remake this as an AT-ACT (though there are other differences between the two variants). I appreciate that Miro even included the walker's footprints in the snow, a detail others leave out of their scenes. Nicely done! Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner
I remember watching the classic show The Transformers (Generation 1) when I was a little kid, and later to watch the more recent adaptations like Transformers Animated. Though I may not be the biggest fan of Michael Bay's movie versions, I'll still always be a Transformers fan. This post is a bit nostalgic for me. Alex Jones has been working on many LEGO Transformers projects, including this recreation of the Matrix of Leadership. The device itself may be very accurate, but that complete LEGO background is what really drew me to this creation. I instantly recognized the theme from the classic show. Wonderful work, Alex!

Djokson continues to produce wonderfully crafted figures by combining system elements and buildable figure systems. How does he do it?! This figure, the Crimson Crusher, is obviously ready for a fight. The body and especially the head are very sleek, but those large hands are my favorite part, using those nice joint pieces to create finger/glove texturing. This guy could easily fit into the film Real Steel. Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner
