Comics - there's nothing else in the modern age like it, the Superheroes have been with us on paper, radio, TV, Toys, Movies, Video games, LEGO.. it's a way of life.
Batman will always have a special place in my heart, even if his heart is broken...
This was another one of my @rebellug Vignweek 24 hr build. I've always wanted to do a Crime Alley build to evoke that emotion in a single scene... perfect for a vignette, or a comic book cover!
Another in my Amazing Builder Series (ABS) homage builds - Many years ago I saw Dave Kaleta's amazing Crime Alley build at Brickworld Chicago and always wanted to tackle something similiar.

It's not easy getting these guys to stay still for a pic. I should've said 'move around a lot' and i probably would have had better results :P.
That's why the pic is minus Cyzarro, he walked out of frame and GZ is looking to follow him. Not really, i just haven't picked up a Cyzarro fig yet ;).
Batzarro and Bizarro are by TLG. Bizarra and Greenzarro are by The Brick Creator/Pop Culture Customs.
I'm working on a comic this year for Retrofit comics!

I cannot take credit for all the minifigs you see in this picture. But I will tell you who I obtained them from. Now, starting left to the right.
1) The standard Nightwing LEGO minifig from the Arkham Asylum set from several years ago. Nothing special there, besides it's Nightwing.
2) My custom LEGO Nightwing shown previously on my Flickr page here.
3) This custom red Nightwing based on his new outfit from the New 52 DC Comics universe comes from Customize/Accessorize/your/minifig eBay store which is maintained by poppunkmunky. Poppunkmunky does some really great work, and I wish I knew how he does it. Somehow he actually prints the images on to the heads and torsos, just like LEGO does. And he does back prints as well. This red Nightwing is actually the 3rd minifig I have purchased from poppunkmunky. I also purchased Gambit and Dark Phoenix. Most of his/her work matches your standard LEGO figs, others are clearly higher quality images that are shrunk to fit the minifig torso. The printing quality is what really set these a part. It's very hard to notice that they are a custom. The give away to me is that the prints are a bit shinier than standard figs. I did have to paint the eyes in white though. They were left flesh tone.
They are a bit pricy though. Usually the store has a one figure for auction and one for Buy It Now, which usually average $25. I ended up winning this NIghtwing in auction for $25 and I don't regret it at all.
4) I will call this one the Arkham City Nightwing minifig. It comes from REGAL CUSTOMS eBay store, maintained by onlinesailin. This figure is awesome. I am not sure you can tell, but onlinesailin actually printed the blue stripe down his arms, though it doesn't go down to his hands. I love it. The printing job uses a different technique than the poppunkmunky. It's like the lines are embossed on to the minifig, giving it some texture. But the level of detail is amazing. It's printed on all four sides. My only complaint is that the hair is painted black. It was originally that light brown hair. Based on the shine and gloss, i thought it was stock, but when I touched it, it was noticeably tacky, which gave it away. Still, I am not complaining. I think this one may be my favorite.
He didn't come cheap though. I paid $37 for him, not including shipping. Most of the really custom figs I'd say are a bit more expensive than poppunkmunky's store. This is the only one I own from onlinesailin though. I think I may need to purchase some more before i can really determine who reigns supreme.
Here are the links to the two stores I mentioned. I have to get these guys' names out there cause their work is astonishing and you shouldn't have to be searching for them so hard.

So I've been collecting custom minifigures since June (and official Lego minifigures for about a year) but before I started my collection i decided to look into the custom scene a bit. There were so many figures out there that it seemed like quite an expensive hobby so i set myself a goal. If i could find between 5-10 figures that I felt i couldn't be without, i would start collecting.
These are those figures and It's taken me these last 6 months to acquire all of them.
Along the way i've discovered other custom makers that I was unaware of such as minifigures.pl and Custom Bricks who i hope to own figures from very shortly and completely new customisers have popped up since I started my collection such as Muddy River figs (Iggs02), Phoenix custom bricks and Brickinator Customs Who are all doing fantastic work.
I've met some great people on here who love collecting as much as i do and i'd like to thank aaclapham especially for being the first person to welcome me into the community when i first set up my Flickr account and for answering all my annoying questions even before that :).
A big thanks to everyone since who has been so kind and welcoming (especially those added) and i look forward to seeing what 2014 has in store for all of us!
