The Big Red Cheese
Post Halt Posting # 27 Part 3: EBAY ORDER! :)
EDIT: Also, just remembered some credit things that are due here:
Felicity was stolen from heavily inspired by The Smashing Snorkel's post DC Characters, whilst the use of Red Harrington's face on Lois came from a post entitled Lego Daily Planet Custom Minifigs by Comic Brick Heroes/ C.B.H.
So, as I said a little while ago, I had a big Ebay order coming. What I didn't tell you is that I also had an Amazon order coming. (it was small, and I wasn't really expecting to do anything with it, but that's another story...), so anyway, both orders came, and I ended building a LOT of stuff with them.
Seeing as one can never have enough Batman villains, I built Matches Malone. So, I built it based only on seeing the character, but I went looking around Flickr afterwards, and found that CthulhuFX/Robin Horror Picture Show beat me to the punch, by about a year and half. Anywho, here's his post, aptly entitled DC: Matches Malone.
Who doesn't love Felicity Smoak? And ... the answer is people who weren't lucky enough to read Firestorm in the eighties, or people who haven't watched any of the new DC television shows on the CW. Either way, she is an amazing character, and Emily Bett Rickards is an amazing actress. All she needs now is a TLG laptop. I will probably throw her in my with civilians in the massive battle scene that I have going on, but who knows? Maybe I'll give her a little bow as a joke or something. The oversights one makes when blowing birthday money ...
Moving on ...
Lois Lane. Let's not get started on how much I despise Amy Adams' Lois Lane in MoS. Now, I have nothing against Lois Lane or Amy Adams, I just have a pretty freaking big something against them both, when they are mixed together. Lois Lane is not a redhead! Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, there is no source material whatsoever for Lois Lane looking anything like Amy Adams! /rantover. Let's really not get started on how much I hated the face. Anyway, the one thing that I did like about TLG's Lois Lane was the outfit. I stole both the torso and pants from the official Lois Lane, but I gave her a nice smirky face, and some correctly colored hair to boot.
Also, on an unrelated note, Lego and comics both need some serious racial diversity, so other than some of the other guys that have been announced, in order to get the ball rolling on that, I think that I'll start off with John Stewart, John Diggle, and Black Adam, and Crispus Allen, and hopefully, keep moving from there.
Anyway recipes ahoy!
