I've been away from blogging for a bit, but I'm coming back to a great development. SIMAFOL has come up with a series of what he calls Fun-ettes, or vigs with some action feature. He's got what looks like a WIP that brings together many vigs with scenes from the Star Wars movies. From ANH, the walls of the trash compactor close in on Han and Chewie as you turn a knob, and in a second vig we can see Ben Kenobi defeated by Vader, or so we all thought when we first saw the movie oh so many years ago.

and your father smelled of elderberries! I made this little vig to feature the figs I made for the annual Christmas fig exchange over at Classic-Castle. I debated what sort of fig I was going to make. At first I considered doing some sort of beserker, but then I thought of doing Patsy. I kind of had to include Arthur as well to give him context, though since I do not do decals I was a little less happy with my solution for him. Before they headed off, I made this little vig. I was proud of Caylin, as she pretty much guessed what I had made from my initial clue.



Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!

Over on Forbidden Cove they are holding the Jolly Roger Contest. Most significantly for this blog is the pirate vignette category. One of the first entries is this beauty from TooMuchCaffeine: It's a Pirate World!.

Among the vignette entries for the Jolly Roger Contest over on Forbidden Cove is this beauty by ElephantKnight - Under the Waves.

I don't know why we don't see more Harry Potter MOCs. It's a rich fictional world with a lot of great subjects, and the now-defunct official theme gave us appropriate figs, so non-customizers can easily get into the subject. Here is a great scene by MaTn, The return of Ron. For the sake of those who are waiting for movie 7 I won't give away what's going on (though you should really read the books rather than watch the movies).

In Canadaclark's Ant Farm, a happy couple's picnic is being interrupted.

When you pull back, you can see that their choice of location was not ideal.

Via Bricks in suit.

Lookie94 captures action well with this skateboarder.

Hispabrick Magazine recently held a vignette contest to win a chrome Darth Vader fig. Winners were Noé and Adam from Austria and Slovenia, respectively:

Diaaabo imagines how Empire would have turned out if the rebels and the imperials just had a snowball fight.

Crises states that "Our fears come out at night. Do you have any?" I think now I may. Sweet dreams.

Titolian has posted several zombie vigs.

Steve Bishop and his wife just had a baby girl. Somehow he had time to commemorate her birth in vig form. Congratulations, Steve. Now go grab a few minutes of sleep, because in a couple of hours that little cry will be demanding food or diapers or just to be held.

A number of people on Flickr have challenged themselves to "365 projects" - to post a new picture a day each day of the year. One LEGO example is Karloswayne's Superman LEGO 365 set. Voran the Scholar has challenged himself to make a vig a week, starting with Allied Command Tent.

Smarth posted some nice scenes, including Reading Corner and Teacher.
