Bravo, Bravo! Waldorf and Statler Lego Muppets.

grubaluk's Lego Muppets, Waldorf And Statler

“They aren’t half bad.”
“Nope, they’re all bad!”

Waldorf and Statler are a couple of famous Muppets who are known for their back and forth heckling. Nothing can please these two old guys. Nothing except themselves. These two Lego figures of Statler and Waldorf are the creation of grubaluk. Featuring some slick SNOT building to create their profiles. Interestingly, the studs are being used to designate soft or hairy surfaces. Certainly not the first thing you think of when you think about Lego studs. It is also super interesting to see the “backstage” stuff. Creating just enough to complete the scene but nothing extra, like legs.

Super Cute Lego Chip and Dale, the classic Disney cartoon duo.

MAndM's Lego Chip 'N' Dale Group

Chip and Dale are one of those classic Disney cartoon duos. The two managed to get into trouble often, with Dale leading the way and Chip having to clean up his messes. Originally created in 1943, Chip ’n’ Dale were extremely popular throughout the 1950s. The duo had a huge come back in the late 1980s with Chip ’n Dale Rescue Rangers. Where the two formed a private detective agency. Teaming up with Monterey “Monty” Jack, Gadget Hackwrench, and Zipper. Disney has seemed to have forgotten Chip and Dale everywhere except in Japan, where the two chipmunks are still extremely popular.

M and M has built this charming vignette of Chip and Dale in Lego. Using a variety of Lego bricks, these chipmunks have been rendered amazingly well. Especially the faces. Chip and Dale are almost identical, except for their faces. Chip with a black nose, and a large tooth. And, Dale with a red nose and two buck teeth.

The Great Neuschwanstein Castle in Lego

T-Brick's Lego Neuschwanstein Castle Box

Neuschwanstein Castle might be the most famous castle on Earth. A Romanesque Revival castle located in Germany, near the village of Hohenschwangau. The castle construction completed relatively late, in the year 1892. Since then, this little castle has made appearances in the films: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Ludwig, and Ludwig II. But, most importantly it was the original insperation for Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty’s Castle.

This Lego Neuschwanstein Castle is the creation of T-Bone, who put a whole lot of hard work into it. Not only has the color scheme been carefully thought out, but the details and design are accurate to the real life castle. Every window, door, tower, and room is accurate. Where there should be 5 windows, as on the real Neuschwanstein Castle, there are 5 windows in this Lego MOC. T-Bone even got the tree and pavement details correct.

Also note the extremely well made micro carriage with horses in the castles entrance.
