LEGO and video games are overlapping more and more, with partnerships with big players like Fortnite, Minecraft, Mario Kart, and even Horizon taking up a growing share of LEGO releases. Of course, no amount of official sets can keep up with all the games being released on PC and consoles. Fortunately, there are plenty of amazing builders making custom versions of game characters we love.
Kamil Karpiński is a builder we’ve spotlighted several times for his bolstered figs that integrate brick anatomy with minifig heads. For this tribute to From Software’s cult classic Bloodborne, the builder sticks with classic minifig parts and perfectly captures the Victorian horror aesthetic of the game. The rubber band wrapped around the sawtooth blade and the extra buckles on the arm really sell it.
beyondb0nes also found inspiration in Bloodborne with this minifig take on Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower.
Sticking to From Software, Falcon Figs celebrates folk hero Let Me Solo Her in LEGO form. This absolute legend is a player who lets others summon him into their game to kill the game’s toughest bosses solo. Its stories like this that make me love gaming.
I shared this one a while back, but it’s a build that always brings a smile when it shows up. This is poodooMOCs‘ take on Starscourge Radahn from Elden Ring. The character design is so absurd that only the head is a minifig part, but it is at minifig scale so I’ll allow it.
One last From Software tribute, this time to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Aris (bricks.for_bricks) expands on their usual minifig only builds with a full vinette capturing the hero’s battle against the hideous (in appearance and name) Long-arm Centipede Giraffe miniboss.
There’s been a new Assassin’s Creed game every year or two, but fans keep returning to the hero of Assassin’s Creed 2 (which become its own trilogy) with hero Ezio and its Renaissance Italy setting. Expansion Bricks builds an older Eziousing all official parts. That red sash? It’s paper cut from a LEGO store bag!
Brennan (brickbot_studio) excells at both figs and brick-built bots. Today we’re showcasing the latter with this bot and turret from Portal. The turret design is a showstopper, brilliantly employing roller scates for the guns to keep to minifig scale.
Lectrius has been on a Metal Gear kick lately. I especially love his retro take on the cast of the original Metal Gear Solid. While not completely purist, it’s great too see builders who celebrate LEGO’s classic yellow faces in newer builds.
Finally, Shulika_27 is a builder who creates so many amazing dark fantasy creations that look like they’re lifted from a a game, but are actually original creations. Here’s a tribute to an actual game – Chess! The mostly greyscale ensemble of ashen playing pieces form an ensemble crackling with personality.
