AmperZand Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Here are some of the latest additions to my display collection using recent parts. I use 'recent' quite loosely: some of the parts came out almost a year ago. But when you've been collecting minifigures as an AFOL for 28 years, a year doesn't seem like a long time! Back row from left: carnivorous plant, Krusty the Orange Spaceman Front row from left: Herne the Hunt-Master with hounds, witch, were-cheetah, naga, elderly monk Unusually for me, they are almost entirely purist. Herne's antlers and armour are third party as is his cloak though LEGO does do one in a similar colour I believe. Apologies for the inclusion of Krusty the Orange Spaceman. I realise he's sci-fi, not fantasy. He wasn't supposed to be in the shot. He just floated in unexpectedly. I guess he photobombed me. What can I say? Questions? Comments? Classic spaced out? Quote
zoth33 Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 I like herne. Naga is interesting, I like the combo of Murt and the snake tail. Nice use of the mysterio part for the plant guy. Quote
koalayummies Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 You always do such great and creative reuse of the minifigure parts for other themes and these are no exception. Great use of the minecraft? torso and those antler horns are great on the cow/bull head and that witch is perfection. Excellent and great inspiration for reappropriation of minifigure parts! Quote

So it wasn’t much of a leap from there to the naga. I also have a modded Murt as an orc barbarian. I didn’t include it in the picture - maybe next time.

The hunt-master and monk turned out just as I thought which is always gratifying.

Thanks, @koalayummies. Appreciated. Yes, the monk’s torso is Minecraft. Well spotted! It’s from the recently released bee farm set. When I saw the cow’s hood piece in the Year of the Ox set, I first thought of creating a minotaur. But I already have several using either the BrickWarrior’s head or LEGO’s. I’m even using a BW one as a devil’s head (below). So I went with a cervine cowl-wearing Herne minifigure instead. I have a bunch of goblinoid mods I have been thinking of picturing for a while. Will photo and post them when I can. Edited February 26, 2021 by AmperZand Quote

Philtw Posted May 29, 2024 Posted May 29, 2024 Hi, What lego pieces or other did you use to make the Herne figure Quote

The cape is third party, but essentially the same as LEGO’s cape in dark orange. The rest is LEGO. The stag’s head hood is actually LEGO’s cow’s head hood. It was originally released in one of the Chinese New Year sets to celebrate the Year of the Ox. Hope that helps.
