These Are So Soothing
I stumbled upon these videos this weekend, and I figured they would make a great start to the week! This guy has created a bunch of smooth, stop-motion LEGO builds! Here’s the Death Star!
I love LEGO. I love building the models and putting it all together and letting the magic happen. So this is my kind of video. It’s so smooth and soothing, like magic.
You can see a bunch more of these on the Bart van Dijk Youtube page!

Billy Dee Williams’ Two-Face to Live On in LEGO Form!
I just discovered this fun little Easter Egg from the upcoming LEGO Batman Movie in a gallery of Batman LEGO images from New York Comic-Con and I thought I’d share: Apparently, the Two-Face character in The LEGO Batman Movie might be a Billy Dee Williams version! How else do you explain this very obvious looking LEGO figurine?
Just look at that Billy Dee Williams mustache!
It’s not mentioned on Williams’ IMDB page, and I haven’t really been able to find anything through Google, other than some other people wondering the same thing. But just look at that mini-fig and tell me that’s not Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent!
As we all know, Williams played Harvey Dent in the 1989 Batman movie, with plans to eventually turn him into Two-Face. But by the time Hollywood got around to including Two-Face in the franchise, they switched out Williams for Tommy Lee Jones! Williams was robbed! I don’t think we’ve ever seen a black Two-Face. And this race change would have been decades ahead of its time!
Leave it to the people behind the LEGO movies to come up with the ultimate Easter Egg.

Kamala Khan Is Getting an Action Figure!
Kamala Khan is getting an action figure, and I’m totally gonna buy it! I don’t know when it will come out, there’s no word on price, but just look at this beauty!
I’ma gonna git you!
The toy was revealed at the start of Comic-Con this morning, along with a couple other options that I don’t particularly care about. All that matters is that Ms. Marvel is awesome and somebody out there has done something smart.

A Nice, Fun, LEGO Ghostbusters Way to Hopefully Start a Sad Monday
LEGOs are awesome. The Ghostbusters are awesome. When they come together, and when the Internet applies its magic, we get videos like this one.
Major props to the fine people at digitalwizards for this digital masterpiece.

Welp, Looks Like I’m Going Broke on Spider-Man LEGOs This Year
Toy Fair is rocking New York City this weekend, with all manner of cool toys and action figures on display. I need to go to Toy Fair some day, but sadly, not today. Thankfully, there Internet is here to show us what we’re missing, and it turns out that I’m probably going to be spending a lot of money on LEGOs this year. Specifically, Spider-Man LEGOs.
More specifically, there’s this bridge playset that features mini-figs of both the Scorpion, one of my favorite Spider-Man villains, and the Scarlet Spider, with whom my entire comics collection is partially indebted. You guys have no idea the depths to which I collect Scarlet Spider merchandise.
Ultimate Spider-Woman is awesome too
The playset itself is pretty awesome. I usually prefer vehicles, but that is a pretty confident looking section of bridge. Plus those characters are too good to pass up. Perhaps I could find them solo for far less money, but at this stage of the game, let’s pretend I’m a millionaire. Scarlet freakin’ Spider as a LEGO, that’s just mind-blowing. That’s the sort of thing my brother and I literally dreamed about as kids.
Check out the rest after the jump!
