SirNadroj Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 When I'm looking around on Bricklink, and I see odd, rare or unusual parts at good prices, I generally pick them up, because you never know what you can use them for. I found this creepy and scarce belville figure, so I picked it up, along with a fabuland pig. Since flesh coloured parts are limited, it seemed like a no-brainer to stick these two together. Yes, scary, perhaps scarier than fabuland by itself, but what the hell, right? Plus, I haven't seen a fabuland/belville integration, so trying new things is good too. Also a good time to show my beach ball technique, using Sandy's helmet and elastics. By the way, for those video-game fanatics out there, you may notice that this is inspired by Banjo-Tooie, in Jolly Roger's Lagoon (there are some mutant pigs roaming around, if ye recalls). Yeah, certainly scarier than fabuland by itself. :skull: I hope to make a few more of these, so if you haven't already, check my "wanted" thread in the BSTF forum: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=22682 ~SirNadroj Quote
Zepher Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Attractive. Nice parts usage, I think that's what makes you such a great builder. You think of things no one else does. Quote

Though I'm not sure what you mean by attractive! I'm currently browsing BL for other possible combos, and I'll tell you, it's hard to find a good match (belville and fabuland!) Quote
zero1312 Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Definately scarier than Fabuland, that's right. But a cool idea. Quote
WhiteFang Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Looking at it from first glance, I thought it was a hybrid between Barbie Doll and Fabuland together. It looks incredible but scary at the same time. You are very very creative in your thoughts, by pulling all unusual elements and form a very unique concept in your building techniques and presentation. Quote
Bundalings Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 ... I don't know what to say. Good job? ~Bunda Quote
VBBN Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 A very interesting pig. Nice use of parts. How did you do the beachball? Quote
Zorro Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 This is a fantastic custom minifig you made here, I love your animal minifigs (referring to the piraty ones you've made). I can see what parts you used to create this Beach Pig and although simple, it is ingenious as well! I eagerly await your next creation. Quote
SirNadroj Posted November 5, 2008 Author Posted November 5, 2008 Thanks again! A very interesting pig. Nice use of parts. How did you do the beachball?

I eagerly await your next creation. Thanks ~ though these Beville/Fabuland hybrids are supposed to be completely different and in a league of their own from the anthropomorphics. Quote
Corvus Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Just saw this on Flickr. For some reason I find it so oddly cool... Quote
Pencoin Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 You have no-idea what nightmare you have created! Very clever and 'different' and yes I did think of Banjo when I saw this Quote
SirNadroj Posted November 6, 2008 Author Posted November 6, 2008 Thanks again for the feedback! For some reason I find it so oddly cool... Scary! But so funny! Nobody seems to know what to make of this! Quote
Zepher Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) Nobody seems to know what to make of this! I do. It's hot. Edited November 6, 2008 by Zepher Quote
SirNadroj Posted November 6, 2008 Author Posted November 6, 2008 I do. It's hot. Um.... thanks? Your self-esteem boosting comments make Beach Pig pleased. I've bought some other parts for more of these, so stay tuned. Quote
VBBN Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Thanks again!Quoted from the first post: "Also a good time to show my beach ball technique, using Sandy's helmet and elastics." Damn, I should read more than just the pictures. Interesting technique. I would do something similar, but alas I have no desire for the rocket set. Quote

I would do something similar, but alas I have no desire for the rocket set. Yes, that usually helps. That rocket set is pretty good though; very retro. (Though I'll admit; I bought it for the Sandy minifig/helmet!) Can you can never get them off BL. Everyone snags them immediately after they're put up for sale! Quote
Guss Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 lol how did I missed it, that's a very funny and nice creation Sirnadroj ^^ I always thought there were something good in Belville set ! Does this body come from these set ? Quote
Erdbeereis Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Scary, disturbing, funny, creative, this MOC uses up way too many adjectives! Nice work Sir Nadroj! I especially like the beach ball. Quote
SirNadroj Posted November 7, 2008 Author Posted November 7, 2008 lol how did I missed it, that's a very funny and nice creation Sirnadroj ^^ I always thought there were something good in Belville set ! Does this body come from these set ? This figure is kinda rare, that's why I bought it! It comes in one set, I think. Here's the BL link: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?M=belvMale17 Thanks again for the feedback! Quote
MagPiesRUs Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Brilliant! A very original creation, Sir Nadroj. This figure is kinda rare, that's why I bought it! It comes in one set, I think. Here's the BL link: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?M=belvMale17 Honestly, I think that the actual head is far scarier than the pig head... Quote
SirNadroj Posted November 8, 2008 Author Posted November 8, 2008 Brilliant! A very original creation, Sir Nadroj. Honestly, I think that the actual head is far scarier than the pig head... Thank you! I totally agree. I've got that head sitting in a barrel looking at me... I don't know what to do with it! Quote
Pencoin Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Thank you!I totally agree. I've got that head sitting in a barrel looking at me... I don't know what to do with it! Humans head in the Horses bed? Quote
