When it comes to LEGO, people always want more, more more! People are never satisfied, and the hardcore geeks go to great extents to do something different with it, which leads me onto the images themselves...
All of these mini figures are personalized examples which have been customized by LEGO geeks. Heath Ledger's Joker and Waldo from "Where’s Waldo?" are among the modifications. For me, it is the monsters that steal the show--they look totally fantastic.
