Just for fun part 4: Into the Star Wars!

After working on the lightsaber gimmick, I wanted to do more Star Wars inspired creations.


The R2D2 style Fright Droid.
The Darth Vader inspired Darth Clops.
Desu-Man (Death man) is a skull head.

The Fright Droid comes with a removable brain piece.
Darth Clops not only comes with the lightsaber gimmick arm, his eye is what I call GDR (Glitter Done Right) it simply means that the glitter is sealed on the inside and not sprinkled on the outside where it constantly keeps falling out.
Desu-Man is just a plain skull head but like my other creations it's over sized compared to your standard minifigure so that it really stands out!


I was definitely thinking Darth Vader when I designed this version of Desu-Man who I called Desu-Vader at the time.

I improved the head design to make the skull larger and the facial features more clear to see.


This Darth Clops is missing a horn but his mouth area I really liked so I kept.
The head has a thin slit on the crown so you can interchange his "eye design" cool concept but I decided it wasn't worth the hasselhoff if you know what I mean.


One of the earlier Cyclop heads I was working on, this one has a glow in the dark eye with GDR.

  1. What technique do you use for the holographic torsos? Are they printed or decals?

Just for fun part 2: Lightsaber

BSHZZZ! I am your father! The gimmick works just by simply pushing the darn thing. The vintage Kenner 3.75" Star Wars action figures are legendary! I was fortunate enough to experience that in the 80s as a kid. The rumors were true, Boba Fett was the coolest figure at the time, at least everyone in my class and all the older kids said so. As crappy as Darth Vader was, starting with his vinyl cape that easily ripped, a head that was prone to coming off, and his way too stubby lightsaber, the result may have fell a little short but it was a figure made of dreams. At the end of the day Kenner put Darth Vader in our hands, so that we can make him command Storm Troopers in our very own world, which was probably the living room. I got to say that the most ambitious part of the Darth Vader figure was that lightsaber gimmick, where it actually extends and retracts! So I just had to try and replicate this marvelous idea.. but in Lego format. This was quite an ambitious pro...

Just for fun part 5: M.U.S.C.L.E. II

This is pretty much an update. I was a kid in Japan in the 80s and I was a big fan of the Kinnikuman manga. The toys were everywhere at the time, and they even made their way to the USA under the name of M.U.S.C.L.E. (Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere). These little rubber minifigures captured the imagination of young boys. To the left we have Sunshine, Ashuraman, and Sunigator (The Claw) To the right we have my versions, The Rend, Dice Kingu, and The Gleam. I made Gleam first, he is my tribute to Sunshine. Sunshine was such a cool character, he was clearly inspired by the superrobo Gold Laitan and the real life skyscraper in Japan called Sunshine 60. Sunshine was a bad guy, a massive behemoth who also had shape shifting abilities. I chose the Arch de Triumph shape of Sunshine because it's my favorite! I worked and worked to do the Claw, it just wasn't turning out the way I wanted so I put it to rest and worked on other projects. Hey sometim...
