My First Stop Motion Project

Custom Rainbow Teddy Set

This is my made up character named Rainbow Teddy. He is really special to me. In this photo, Rainbow Teddy is the bear with the red shirt, the yellow sleeves and the tan fur. Here he is in battle against his nemesis Samebow Teddy. All the characters are in a construction site fighting. The other characters are construction workers, dark lord guard (the cat with the gatling gun), a policeman fox and a mouse wearing a soccer jersey. He has a cast on his arm and a cast on his leg. Rainbow Teddy's girlfriend is the snake being captured by the cat. He is trying to save her but Samebow Teddy is getting in his way.

These are custom minifigs which I built using sculpty clay to create my own heads. The characters are from a story I am working on where Rainbow Teddy is the main hero. I will bring you more Rainbow Teddy stories in future blogs along with new and exciting sets.

I had my birthday party two weeks ago and I got lots of cool lego stuff. I guess people realized that Lego is my favorite because of my invitation I emailed!!

One of the coolest things I got was the Dragon Lego Game which my friend had sent from his cousins in England. We aren't getting the Lego games until the summer and it is lots of fun to play one of them right now.

I also got the "Clutch Powers" movie and "Halo Legends" which were fun to watch. I especially liked exploring all of the Lego sets with Clutch Powers. I hope they make more of those movies because they are lots of fun.

If any of my friends are reading this then thanks a LOT for all the great Lego stuff and I hope you enjoyed

Lego Mechs

These Lego mechs are made by myself and my friend Jav890. Since Exoforce there have not been too many mechs therefore we wanted to create our own design. Jav890's mech uses knight pieces along with swords and two wings. My mech uses Bionicle pieces and has a big gun. Now we are looking for ways to expand our collection with new mech designs. Hope you like these!

Happy New Years

For new years eve, I went to see Avatar and really enjoyed it. I got a bit of a headache from the 3D glasses but the story kept me very excited. I would definitely like to see Lego make a Lego Avatar set (not the other Avatar but the movie Avatar but dont worry I like that one aswell). The ships would be cool and the creatures would be amazing. I will have to try and create some myself some day.

We ended up downtown at midnight with lots of people. The celebration was fun and it was cool to be up so late. I slept in quite a bit this morning then woke up and played Lego. I also watched the outdoor hockey game and was glad to see that Boston won. You can see Boston Bear in my picture.

Happy new year to everyone and lets make this a wonderful Lego year!

REVIEW: Bionicle Stars

I think the new Bionicles have awesome armour. There are some new weapons that I have never had before and my favorite was the ice sword in black. The Rahkshi comes in a new colour although I would have preferred if the spear parts were different. This set is a history of all the Bionicles past and that makes it very special. Now builders like me can build our own stars using pieces we already have. We can create Bionicle stars from old series that we love.

With each of the Bionicle stars, you get a gold piece that you can use to enhance one of the stars. Here is the red star with the gold armour. The armour makes him invincible and I think that this is a good addition to an already amazing set.

It is too bad that none of the Bionicles have any shooting functions but the gold pieces make up for that. Some people might say they are too small but I like the simpler figures. Overall I will give this set a 10 out of 10 and will have a great time playing with it. If you are looking for a last chance to play with Bionicle, the Bionicle stars are great.
