The LEGO Minifigure Adventure 2

Here are the next five in alphabetical order.

Alphabet Soup

Ah yes. I remember this one. It was a silly idea I had had for a while however they didn’t sell Alphabetti Spaghetti (as I knew it) here in Australia. It was only on request that a friend went through the trouble to get it to me. I also remember a comment asking what was wrong with his haircut. Fair enough.

Andy’s Costume

Whenever there was a new series of Minifigures from LEGO they would be sold in individual foil packets. This way it was pure luck (and sometime some lengthy minutes feeling the packaging) if you got what you wanted. Often there would be a double up as with this yetti costume. This would often lead to ideas of duplication scenarios. I always enjoyed the simplicity of these scenes.

Annoyed English Teacher

My wife is an English teacher and we were discussing the pros and cons of computers and spellcheck etc in learning. I wondered how I would have behaved if such aids were around in my school days. This was taken indoors with a table setup I had made and some lights on bendy stalks. This was probably a later one as the highlights are more under control. Also I would often get my wife to check the grammar or help say what I meant in many of these. 80% of the time the grammar, wording, sentences had to be corrected or improved!

Annoyed Lone Ranger

Another annoyed character here. I’m not sure what’s going on with the background, or the composition. Using the themed characters was always interesting, unless they were owned by Disney in which case a lot of the time they would warn you about the copyright.

Another Bad Day

I’m not sure why I called it Another Bad Day. Poor Keith. Utilizing some of the LEGO housing here along with the road base. Having any walking motion on the Lego base bumps was always tricky. They are designed to click the feet in place but that would always look odd. Posing the way Keith has them would often involve some hidden blue tack to keep him from falling over.

In hindsight I think I should have added a workman figure looking on in panic at the crane load to emphasize impending danger. Also, I always have loved the LEGO fish for some reason.
