Angus Maclane's LEGO Sculpture Series Shows Reclining Superheroes
Laura McQuarrie — July 3, 2014 — Art & Design
It's pretty common to see superheroes in flight or some other epic pose while on their way to save the world yet again, but the Couch Potatoes LEGO sculpture series by Angus MacLane imagines comic book heroes just hanging out on the couch.
Some of the iconic heroes that make an appearance in MacLane's toy block sculptures include Batman, Optimus Prime, Aquaman, Iron Man and Robo Cop, doing things like kicking back with a pizza, a beer or the remote control. Although the guys are still fully suited in their superhero outfits, they all seem like they're pretty comfortable on their respective couches, at least until the next call to fight some bad guy comes in.
