    Alright, so I’m back on the forum with a lot of fun surprises for you guys! Back in May, I showed my prototype version of Korra in LEGO figure form, since then I’ve been hard at work for a big release which came last tuesday via my Flickr. I’m now getting to posting here since I just got back from a recent trip (Sorry about that).

    So, I’ve made Korra, Mako, Bolin, Tenzin, Asami, and Amon! All took weeks to perfect the design in order to be as accurate as possible! (And more to come!)

    The Design Process: So I’m sure many of you are wondering how I did this since LEGO no longer has the license for Avatar LEGO sets since 2007. Simple, I make them myself! These figures are printed (not using paint or decals applied to the parts). Printing is the highest quality possible on a toy figure, and since LEGO themselfs use printing on there own products, I went ahead and did it myself!

    The printing is just like any other LEGO figure but I take it beyond the limits to print other parts on there figures that LEGO themselves wouldn’t do. For designing purposes, I used professional software like Adobe illustrator and Photoshop. For reference, I simply used the Comic-Con turnaround art work (has every angle needed for designing).

    There is a lot more to these figures (Design wise), and if I were to explain every bit it, you’d be shocked!

    Now, I do make these because I absolutely <3 The Legend of Korra (or else I wouldn't spend 30+ hours designing them). But, I do actually sell them since when you print something, you usually have to make more then one printed. There expensive for the amount of work and effort that goes into them, so I won't talk about that.

    Your welcome to any questions below, and I’d love to hear what you have to say!

    [UPDATE # 1 | 9-21-12] Hey folks, remember how I said I was gonna make more? Well I did! Presenting the next figure: The Equalist Solider! This took 7 weeks before it was perfected for printing since the print goes 360 degrees around his head! This will also be the most expensive out of all of them, but I assure you that it will be worth it since theres very low amounts of him!

    I’ll be back in a month or two with some more fun goodies to share with everyone!

    Are the head pieces custom made too or are existing pieces just amazing fits ?

    @legoboyproductions Dude – you are amazing… the detail in the work is fantastic and Nickelodeon need to hire you asap to continue to design toy ranges for them :)

    As far as cost – I think it’s important to put it all into perspective – these are limited editions – fan made and not done on a mass production line – and you’ve put alot of work into designing and making them… At the end of the day sadly we often don’t value the work that goes into creating these beautiful peieces of work and the time and effort the artist puts into them. We tend to always look for bargains and so that makes us tend to overlook that actual value –

    There are some fans out there that do try to support other fans by purchasing other fan made – high quality productions & it’s the kind of thing I would purchase to when it comes to adding to my ATLA/TLOK addiction I mean items for my collection :) . I have friends that pay huge prices for other franchise items and often the items are second hand and not in such great conditions…. so I guess that also depends on the view of the collector too :)

    I look forward to hearing/seeing more of your work… :) feel free to pm me prices for each peice and postage to New Zealand :) When I have some spare cash I would be keen to add a few of these to my personal ATLA/TLOK collection indeed :)

    @airspeed (First Comment) Nope, all parts are my own design printed, including the head, Mako’s hair piece doesnt even come in black so I have to dye it to the correct color!

    @airspeed (Second Comment) lol, Didn’t even know that existed!

    @unclesniece Thanks! Lin and someone else is at my top priority list, but with Lin, LEGO doesn’t make a hair piece that matches her’s, and molding something would be really out there since it costs thousands, but I’ll see what I can do!

    @awesomebender Thanks man, I appreciate that! :D

    @midnight0094 Lol, Thanks ;)

    @donnagardner Your most certainly right, I totally see where your coming from, and I appreciate it! ;D

    @legoboyproductions These are absolutely fantastic! I am VERY interested in purchasing at least one of these(the Amon figure, especially). Pm me about a possible price for one(if you’ve got that worked out at all).

    But seriously, you are amazing.

    This is a signature about things.
