Animal Crossing New Horizons Lego MOC

Animal Crossing New Horizons House Lego MOC

The video game Animal Crossing New Horizons has proven to be a popular theme for building with Lego. You start the game on a supposedly deserted island, but soon find yourself being the architect to a thriving community of animals. After upgrading your meager tent into a one room house, your goal is to slowly improve the island. Your main tool is a handy workbench where you can craft hundreds of items. From campfires to bamboo dolls. This Lego MOC is called “Animal Crossing: New Horizons Paradise” and is the creation of Tiago Catarino. They capture all the core features of the island in this scene. A fresh water river, beech (with shells!), apple tree, workbench, campfire, and a house. This build looks great. The house is nice and compact, and uses a really interesting off grid technique to angle the walls. The workbench even has a little Lego Carpenter Square. The scale works well, and seems like it could fit Fabuland figures pretty well.

Upgrade Your Animal Crossing Lego House

Upgrade Your Animal Crossing Lego House - レゴ  どうぶつの森

Animal Crossing and Lego seem to go together really well. Lego even had an old theme called Fabuland that shares a lot of ideas. The video game has been inspiring some recent Lego MOCs and the newest one is this villager house (レゴ どうぶつの森) built by nobu_tary. This little building represents the basic house you get after your tent, but before any upgrades. The clean style from the game fits in well with SNOT building techniques. Some of the nice details include the red roof, the little black chimney, the little mail box (with mail!) and the pattern of the grass. This little set looks like it could be expanded with other houses and buildings, recreating the island 16×16 studs at a time. Believe it or not, this basic 1 bedroom house goes for 98,000 bells!

These Life-sized Lego Meerkats Are Always Standing Up

These Life-sized Lego Meerkats Are Always Standing Up

Meerkats are those cute burrowing animals that hang out in groups. They often stand to get a better view of their world. These Lego Meerkats are the creation of Felix Jaensch. They are a life-size recreation (no scaling down) of their real world inspiration. These Lego MOCs are in the same style of other big Lego sculptures. With lots of studs showing off. These little animals have some great details, the claws on the hands/feet are well done. As is the ear/cheek area. Much more complicated than it looks. Around back you can see that the faded stipe pattern is also present. Which leads all the way down to their tails. A good color gradient gives these a very realistic appearance. I could see these Meerkats getting their own television special. Lego Meerkat Manor. This needs to happen.

Dodo Airlines’s Wilbur Is A Go - An Animal Crossing Lego MOC

Wilbur is ready to fly you to your new deserted island. Tom Nook has promised New Horizons are on their way. Dodo Airlines is a new island service in the popular Animal Crossing video game. This cozy airport is run by two dodo’s, Wilbur and Orville. The pair are ready to take you Harv’s island, your friends islands, and to a variety of uncharted islands. Basically there are a lot of islands. This Lego MOC is the creation of DanielBrickSon. The character is spot on. The rotund 3D bodies are hard to recreate in Lego, but this one has achieved it well. Check out the cool sunglasses, the headphones and mic, and the detailed bird feet. So pack a bag, Delta Oscar Delta Oscar is a go!

Be On The Lookout With This Eurasian Pygmy Lego Owl

Eurasian Pygmy Lego Owl

This is a Lego version of the Eurasian Pygmy Owl. These cute little owls are particular, they like to hang out in forests, prefer cold weather, and likes the mountains. This Lego Owl probably prefers to hang out on your shelf, or bookcase. This Eurasian Pygmy Owl is the creation of Cyclopic Bricks as an entry into the MOC Wars; category 15: Little Big Animal. The rules for the challenge was to “Build a non-fictional small animal at a large scale. Does not have to be 1:1.” One of the best details is that the head is able to turn, just like a real owl. The little bird is perched on a mossy tree branch, lending the finished creation a more dynamic pose. Check out the skeleton feet around the beak, they are a great detail.

Gotta Collect Them All – Lego Fabuland Maxifigs

Lego Fabuland Maxifigs MOC Group 2

Lego Fabuland has a storied past. The Lego theme ran from 1979 to 1989, and had over 100 official sets released. Not quite Duplo and not quite Lego, Fabuland was in this weird in-between space. They were one of the first themes to be licensed out to non-lego products. Including books, vinyl records, and puzzles. There was even an official Lego television program called Edward and Friends that aired in 1987 and 1988. The most recognizable part of the Fabuland theme are all the characters. There are well over 50 of them. They were bigger than Minifigures, and included sculpted unique faces/heads.

Lego Fabuland Maxifigs MOC Hannah Hippo

This collection of Lego Fabuland Maxifigs is created by Koen Van Der Biest. These MOCs are expertly made and really show off the personality of their Fabuland characters. It looks like Catherine Cat, Bonnie Rabbit, Wilfred Walrus, and Maximillian Mouse make up the first group. Then there is Hannah Hippo with a wheelbarrow. In the next group is Peter Pig, Freddy Fox, Charlie Crow, Clive Crocodile, Bianca Lamb, Peter Panda, and Edward Elephant. (I may have mixed up a couple of them…)

At the current rate, all of the characters will be built in 3-5 years. These animals are on their way be one of the greatest Lego MOCs ever. Check out all the Fabuland Maxifigs or Maxifigures over here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/61911005@N03/32652006037/

These Lego Penguins Have Happy Feet

Schfio's These Lego Penguins Have Happy Feet

Some subjects lend themselves to Lego better then others. These Lego Penguins, built by Schfio, are a great MOC. Who cares about exposed studs when they can look this cute. There is a certain skill involved with getting all the right proportions and volumes correct. And, although the build looks simple the interior of these figures are full of complicated connections.
