Posted February 2, 201015 yr Feeling a little nostalgic, and created another of my favourite childhood TV characters. The Lone Ranger & Tonto. Please let me know what you think. Visit my Flickr page for full size images , please feel free to add notes and comments on there, I love feedback. More TV charcters on their way, soon.
February 2, 201015 yr I think you nailed both cahraters exactly, the Lone Ranger for sure though, that mask is perfect.
February 2, 201015 yr Really nice! I especially like how you've "customized" the horse BTW, may I ask why they called the indian "Tonto" ("idiot" in spanish)? Edited February 2, 201015 yr by BlueBard
February 2, 201015 yr Really nice! I especially like how you've "customized" the horse BTW, may I ask why they called the indian "Tonto" ("idiot" in spanish)? For real!! It means that. This is from a long time ago (1933), so back then they probably were trying to be deragatory to indians, and they probably did mean to give him an insulting name. I never knew that's what it meant, to me it's just always been an indian name of a TV indian. Google translate come back with Silly, still, I bet it was on purpose. People didn't care back then. Still doesn't take away from these 2 great custom figs!
February 2, 201015 yr "A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hearty 'Hi-yo Silver!'" Love it, great likenesses!
February 3, 201015 yr Where is Tonto's horse? (I remember him having one.) [starts humming the Lone Ranger tune.]

Google translate come back with Silly, still, I bet it was on purpose. People didn't care back then. So, I suppose that's an explanation BTW, I'm linguist and if you want my advice DON'T trust google translator...
February 3, 201015 yr They look AWESOME - the Lone Ranger himself - perfect, mask and all !!!! Don't forget your silver bullets, never leave home without them ! I'm a conformist! 'LegoLyons' !
February 6, 201015 yr Very nice LL. Lone Ranger looks perfect, especially the face. Red-faced Tonto looks good as well. Great little scene with some nice details like the pack on Silver.
February 6, 201015 yr Very very cool. As a longtime fan, I think you did a great job with the whole MOC!!
February 6, 201015 yr Your figs are very accurate looking and the packhorse has a nice looking bag. Top work
February 6, 201015 yr Wow! Eerie. I ran across The Legend of the Lone Ranger on cable last night after not seeing it since I was a kid, and BOOM, this MOC shows up less than 12 hours later. Great work by the way. I think I'll try to cobble together my own Lone Ranger Minifig now. Thanks for the idea. I still need to figure out how to best pull off the Phantom
February 7, 201015 yr A very nice MOC LegoLyons! The Ranger is really nice! tonto is pretty good aswell. I like the base, very greebled. The cactus are nice aswell. Great job on this MOC! CommanderFox
February 7, 201015 yr Author Wowsa, thanks for the comments guys, it's always great to get feedback, and frontpage twice in a few weeks. :blush: I have a couple more TV character scenes coming up in the next few days, I hope they prove just as popular.
