Chattin' About Stuff - LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz

BrickHeadz have without a doubt been one of my favorite new themes of the last couple years. They captured the same addictive completionist feel that the Pop Vinyls game me before. And it is just so easy to get into the MOC scene with this format. Last year I made a video showing one of my very first BrickHeadz MOCs which was Benny the 1980's something space guy from The LEGO Movie.

In that video I announced my plans to make Emmet and Wyldstyle as well, but that LEGO will probably read my mind and make them officially. Well I should have bought a lottery ticket instead because they've gone and released them all in the wave of LEGO Movie 2 sets (see pics below).

41635 Wyldstyle

41636 Benny... the 2nd version :P

 

41637 Sweet Mayhem

As always I'm looking forward to adding these to my collection and despite my previous plans being thwarted, my plan B is to customize these in different ways based on a few new looks from the new movie.

Check out my take on Benny the Spaceman in LEGO BrickHeadz form! I think soon I'll work on Emmet and Wyldstyle versions to go with him as well.

The tank on his back took me the most time to be happy with.

One afternoon while staring at Benny's Spaceship Spaceship SPACESHIP I was inspired to build a hybrid of it and a Resistance X-Wing (set 75149). Then with the release of the LEGO Batman Movie Batwing (set 70916) and its awesome Trans Yellow Windscreen piece, I had all I wanted to kick this project off.

The T-70CS X-Wing Fighter is a throwback to the LEGO Classic Space theme with parts and colors selected to bring the look of the modern X-Wing in line with what might have been made back in the day. And obviously making it way more awesome!
