NOOOOOO! They've completely destroyed the crocagator! The legs look like tree trunks, the teeth are (insert insulting adjective here), and the head looks too realistic. It doesn't look LEGO anymore. And just for the sake of being thorough, I don't particularly like the tail, either. Give me the classic crocodile any day. What's with the mini-cannon? Did they even have those?

Looks like they're going for a Classic Pirates feel, reminiscent of the original Pirates theme. Just look at those moustaches! The torso printing! The partially simplistic white buildings! And the... swordfish... which never really seemed especially threatening to me. Hmmm... I wish they'd stop putting skull printing on things that didn't look like minifigure skulls. It just kind of ruins the look. They did it on Castle shields, too. Get this: Both of those are LEGO themes... and yet they minifigurized the skull tattoos on Drax's minifigure from Guardians of the Galaxy?

My entry's name is Borajj. I originally built him in 2012. Literally the week before this contest was announced, I just happened to get him out and make some adjustments, the most important of which was to add additional support for his thigh joints. What a coincidence! Additional photos can be found here. And a demonstration video can be found .
