A Burning Escape

[JoeMI6]

One day I was messing around with some lego on my desk. And I suddenly began connecting the legs of some random people. Flexing them and so on. I had the police bike with me, and thought:

'Hmmm, wouldn't this all look cool in an MOC.' For some reason, the idea of fire and an explosion popped into me head. All that craziness produced this Vig/Bignette.

The extended legs are meant to give the impression of motion and movement. As if the man is jumping really fast, just escaping the flames licking at his heels. My friend Thrawn seems to think it gives off a more Mr.Fantastic stretchy feel, but I'll leave it to your interpretation.

Here's some more pics:

Hahaha... that's kinda' cool. Never saw a moment stuck in time done with Lego before. I bet there's not too many different instances where one could do this effect.

This one was just perfect though.

I third the Mr. Fantastic theory ;-)

That doesn't stop this from being an awesome MOC though *y* Great design, perfect execution.

:D That's great! Reminds me more of Terminator II, though.

It would look better with clear legs. I give it a *n*

p.s. try putting white legs instead of the black ones.

It would look better with clear legs.

Trans black, maybe...

I give it a *n*

Ballsy...

p.s. try putting white legs instead of the black ones.

White would defy the whole purpose...

Very simple, but very good too! It looks more like movement then Mr. Fantastic to me.

Great job!

That's right, you contradict yourself. Thanks for fielding that Hobbes ;-) .

Well the so called Rhymer might be banned if he continues to make such comments. I was kind enough not to bann you immediately after I discovered our morning spammer and you used the same computer...

I love seeing justice in the works... ;-)

I fourth the Mr. Fantastic idea. Say...that would be a pretty good Create a Hero entry!
