This Custom LEGO Finding Dory Build Is A Promising One

This custom LEGO Finding Dory managed to enter the LEGO Ideas platform and needs your support!

Thirteen years ago, Disney and Pixar introduced to us what could be the most famous of all sea creatures ever rendered in CGI. ‘Finding Nemo’ was hailed not just for the good, and family values that it offered but also for the technical feats that Pixar accomplished during its time.

Set in the colorful underwater world of corals, squids, turtles, and sharks (remember the oath: ‘fish are friends, not food.’), Finding Nemo has set a milestone in computer-aided animation. This year, a long-overdue sequel is now slated to hit the big screen and this time, the one missing might prove to be a little bit difficult to find. ‘Finding Dory‘ is Pixar Animation Studios latest 3D computer-animated comedy-adventure released by Walter Disney Pictures.

This Custom LEGO Finding Dory Aims to Become the Next Official LEGO Ideas Set

Following the timeline of the original 2003 hit movie ‘Finding Nemo’, Dory, the forgetful but ever-reliable Blue Tang fish, suddenly recovers her childhood memories. With the help of her friends, Nemo and Marlin, they set off to find the ‘Jewel of Monterey’ with the hopes of reuniting Dory with her family. And what better way to celebrate the release of this recent underwater adventure through a custom LEGO Finding Dory build over at LEGO Ideas.

Custom LEGO Ideas Finding Dory Features

To help out in the search, LEGO Ideas contributors BuildFiend and Nunki-psi, came up with their replica of our colorful threesome sea friends. With 228 supporters and a lead time of 263 days, the duo hopes to garner 10,000 nods of approval from other LEGO supporters in order for their creation to be noticed and hopefully produced by LEGO. Their original creation includes:

  • Nemo with a stand on a coral reef vignette (and a little shrimp!)
  • Marlin with a stand on a coral reef vignette (and a transparent jellyfish!)
  • Dory with a stand on a coral reef vignette (and Squishy!)

Custom LEGO Finding Dory

All builds are playable with each having a nice display piece. All of the characters’ fins (yes, even Nemo’s ‘lucky fin’) and eyes are moveable and poseable, including Marlin’s mouth. With a total brick count of 611 pieces, their proposed Finding Dory build is a pretty great compliment for the upcoming movie. Check out the rest of their photos below.

 

 

 

 

Deadpool Posts Fake LEGO Deadpool Sets on Twitter

Yes, some of your hearts just dropped. You thought we were getting Deadpool sets….I wish. Yesterday, Ryan Reynolds, the actor who plays Deadpool in the upcoming film, tweeted some fake LEGO Deadpool Sets:

As you can see these are making fun of toy fairs and how they release set details…and movie spoilers, pre-film release. He also he had some fun with the piece counts, set names and set features.

Winter Village Train Coming Later This Year?

Yesterday, Eurobricks user nesquick posted that the 2016 Winter Village set will be a Holiday Train.

Nesquik has been a pretty reliable source in the past. A Winter Village train is something we have mentioned a number of times in our videos and would be a great followup to the disastrous re-release of the Winter Top Shop (10249).

LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens Video Game Coming June 28, 2016

For those who are excited about its arrival, the LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens video game is now officially slated to be released on June 28!

It is bound to happen: Microsoft’s Xbox has announced on its website the release of yet another LEGO Star Wars video game, and this time it claims that “The Force is strong with this one.” Riding on the recent success of its two-billion-dollar movie counterpart, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if LEGO announces the release of the LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens video game to keep the force moving.

LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens – What You Need to Know

Developed by UK-based TT Games, the LEGO Star Wars line-up has already made a distinct brand for itself, with endearing features and gameplay that are all too familiar to the fans of the series. True to its form, it promises the same light, but exquisitely challenging game modes, immersive shooting action, and of course, tons of virtual bricks to collect and to build ships and props from the Star Wars franchise.

Typical LEGO Humor and Star Wars Action Rolled Into One

Not to mention the comedic antics of their minifig counterparts that are sure to draw laughter from children and adults alike. Xbox players may choose to follow either the light or dark side of the force by taking the roles of Rey, Finn, Poe, BB-8, Kylo Ren, Han Solo, and the rest of the characters from the movie. I guess it is safe to assume that we’ll be seeing all of the characters featured in the game’s cover art at some point in the game.

Watch the video game’s trailer below:

Though all of these may sound standard fare for all LEGO-based video games, Xbox promises a different take on the LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens storyline. This time, the game will feature “exclusive playable content that bridges the story gap between Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” as mentioned on the Xbox website.

This is sure to gather more interest among gamers as they’re treated with unexpected twists and turns during the transition from Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, and Episode VII: The Force Awakens.

Feature-Rich Games Modes

But the best promise of immersive gaming experience may actually come from the various game modes that come along with LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens. For the first time ever, TT Games introduces the Multi-Build and Blaster Battles modes in the game’s line-up.

“With Multi-Builds, use available LEGO bricks to open up new paths, then break them apart and re-build them again to open up another! And another! During Blaster Battles, use your surroundings as cover to stand against the First Order,” as Xbox describes it. We hope that the Blaster Battles will also include network-based, free-for-all, and coop gameplay.

Well, we can dream all we want, but in the meantime, we just have to wait for around five months before we can actually grab a copy and pound once again on our controllers. For now, this teaser video might give us a laugh or two. I guess even under his intimidating mask, Kylo Ren may have a chuckle or two when his lightsaber’s hilt needed several taps before he could get it to work right.

Availability and Release Date

LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens is scheduled to be released on June 28, 2016. The last LEGO-based game to be launched recently was Marvel’s Avengers on January 26.
