A Lego Minion Maid Named Phil + More…
Despicable Me
Lego Admiral, from Flickr, has created a smorgasbord of Lego Minions. The newest is “Minion Maid – Phil” and features a little Minion dressed up as a maid, complete with a vacuum cleaner. Take a good look at the vacuum, because it is genius. The shape of it is spot on, and best of all it is built with relatively few bricks. The Lego Minion design is based on 3D sphere building techniques. This gives the Minions a very rotund appearance. Lego Admiral has created 3 basic body types that can be mixed and matched with varying hair and eye combinations. This semi-modular design means that these can quickly multiply into a full blow Minion army.
These Minions even have their own Lego CUUSOO page: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/47231. Each one can be built with 220-250 Lego bricks. Meaning that they are not overly complicated or cost prohibitive.

Look At These Tiny Lego Robots!
Look at these tiny Lego robots. They look so cute, you almost want to give them a hug (watch out for the chainsaw arms!). These WIFFY robots are the creation of Flickr user F L A V I O. They look like they belong in a Mega Man video game. And, could fit in with the Tachikoma walker/robots from the Ghost in the Shell universe. In which case lets hope they never learn to revolt and overthrow their human masters. Their cuteness could kill us all.

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

E-Mote: Lego Robots with Personality
E-MOTE: Butterflies
Lego robots have made a lot of progress in the last few years. With the increased variety of Technic / Bionicle / Hero Factory parts, and people getting more comfortable with mixing them in with standard Lego bricks the options for Lego robot builders have blossomed. Flickr user, Legohaulic, has recently created a very charming series called E-MOTE. A series of scenes between two extremely expressive robots.
E-MOTE: Bashful
With detailed hands, some eyes, eyebrows, and posable limbs, these little Lego Robots can emote almost anything. One of the great tiny details is the use of a transparent brick to represent the heart on each of these bots. These robots are extremely minimal in design, making it easy to study the techniques and assembly. These two Lego bots have set a new standard in expression, humor and personality.

“Do Not Feed” — Mosaic Window Display
Hilary Leung and Steadibrick created this wonderful 3D mosaic window display titled “Do Not Feed.” This display is currently up in the Sherway Gardens Lego store in Toronto. It is not everyday that you see people combining a typical Lego mosaic with 3D objects, which is a shame because it can look great. As usual the pixelated 8-bit style design is a great fit with the blocky Lego. Everything is just so cute.
Make sure to check out this project over at Threadless, where you can vote to see it on a T-shirt!

Lego My Eggo by AuntiePesto!
Lego art is awesome. Not only does Lego inspire people to go to great lengths to create elaborate builds and MOCs, but it inspires people to create in other mediums too. Starting today Lego doodles, drawings, graffiti, paintings and sculptures will be featured in the new Art category.
Lego and Eggo have gone together since the dawn of time. Recently in the funny weird LeggoMyLegoEggoLeglessLegoLegolas meme. If I was a red Lego Spaceman, I too would float towards a giant Eggo.
Check out Lego My Eggo over at Tumblr, it was drawn by the super cool AuntiePesto. Her site is full of fun doodles. And, according to AuntiePesto, make sure to listen to some Chaka Khan during your future Lego doodles.
