Man, this show has been so much fun! Lots of fun new details to sink our teeth into! Good stuff all around! Naturally I had to take some photos of my favorite scene! :P
This shot wouldn’t look nearly as good without Life Brick’s fantastic custom figure! Be sure to check out the review of it over on my Patreon (and take a peek at the BTS content while you’re there)!
Or heck, grab a poster of this one from my RedBubble! It's all linked in the bio! ;)

Hal's very happy that his war horse arrived. He's been waiting for her.
She's freaking HUGE!
Forgive the crappy photo. I'll get some better ones when I have better lighting.
"I resolve to NEVER drink like that again. EVER."
At least until the next party, right, Loki?
"Well, yes, at least until the next party. Of course."
So, this is my first set of figures where I have not given a f**k about making it by release, and in case you missed the video I posted on YouTube, this is going to be how I do things now. Anyway, there were definitely a couple of challenges with this set, but the biggest one was time consumption. Gladiator Hulk took so much work. That was definitely my biggest takeaway here: big-figs with detail take forever.
Alright, here we go:
Thor:
●Heavily modified/painted sleepy hairpiece.
●Sword blades were made from old credit cards.
●Torn cape goes over the torso post (obviously) but rests in between the torso & belt piece.
●I do have the helmet painted up for him, but that’ll be in the showcase video.
Gladiator Hulk:
●AH MY GOD THIS BIG-FIG TOOK SOOOOOO LONG TO MAKE.
●Everything on this big-fig was fully repainted except for his eyes and mouth.
●Various 3D elements: straps, straps, and more straps.
●Sculpted waist armor cape/armor thing.
●Heavily modified/painted LEGO war hammer.
●Custom battle axe made from a bar piece, connector, and a couple pieces of styrene.
Loki:
●Seriously modified helmet w/ sections of a Wonder Woman hairpiece glued in. Had to carefully cut out the top and back of the helmet, and I actually had to wreck two Wonder Woman hairpieces. One for the top, and one for the lower half. Honestly didn’t expect this mod to work lol.
●Face is from LEGO. Surprisingly good likeness to Tom Hiddleston.
●Modified/painted BrickForge Dress Daggers.
Valkyrie:
●Face is from a LSW Freemaker Adventures character (I forget which).
●Modified BrickForge Gladius sword, and for some reason it took me 4 tries to paint properly.
Hela:
●Pretty straight forward figure, cut out the upper half of the front of LEGO’s helmet, and a fully painted face to match the likeness of Cate Blanchett. Had a great time painting this one though. Loved the costume, just wish they would have developed her character more. Hela was too black and white for me. This isn’t relevant.
Alright, there ya go! That’s it! I’m done! Justice League is next! (probably)
Thanks guys.

Through the creations that I build, I hope to inspire other young (or perhaps older) LEGO builders to unleash their inner creativity. We all need a positive way to express ourselves, so let's allow LEGO to be an extension of us. Your creativity belongs to you, and nobody can take that away. Build what you want to build, and how you want to build it.
Loki, you'd better not be corrupting the Doctor!
"This is between me and my new friend. Now go away."
I dread to think what Loki's plotting, and what damage these two could do together.
"You melted my army!! Do you ALWAYS have to ruin my toys, Thor? And you all wonder why I have so many issues."
Loki has already failed in his New Year's resolution to not party so hard. I think his reason for celebration was, and I quote, "because I found that missing sock."
Oh, Loki.
Strange: "If the Magic 8 Ball says yes, Loki, you are a douchebag, then that's just what you are."
Snape: "The 8 Ball doesn't lie."
Loki: "What IS this magic?"
"For myself, for a long time ... maybe I felt inauthentic or something,
I felt like my voice wasn't worth hearing,
and I think everyone's voice is worth hearing.
So if you've got something to say,
say it from the rooftops."
~ Tom Hiddleston ~
"Hey, big Green Stuff, how's about you and me for Valentine's Day?"
"Get OFF me, you filthy human!"
"Oh, do you want topsies? The safe word is 'Ryan Reynolds!'"
"No, I want you to leave me alone!"
"Your mouth says 'no' but your scepter says 'yes!'"
It went by in seconds, with me about to faint from nervousness, exhaustion, and dehydration. The line was massive and the ushers moved us along like an assembly line. I didn't even get to see him in the flesh until I was right up close. I managed to put my things away and get Kai out of his box before the usher yelled at me to hurry up.
He said hello to Kai. I barely had time to look at the camera. He reached his arm around me, I reached my arm around his back. His arm was super thin and I felt his shoulder blade right through his shirt. Man, was he tall but all bones and shirt.
All I could choke out to him after the photo was 'Thank you!". He said "It was a pleasure."
Made some Marvel Customs to celebrate, the release of the CMF series, this isn’t them all, I procrastinated a lot.
