These are awesome! Each one has a nice unique feature. Wolverine's claws are great, and he has the nice flair of a cigar.

Dude's really got this art form down.

It's like he distilled the characters into minimalist expressive structures... these are really, really well done. Cool link, bonobothegreat.

Incredibly clever. I love the Walter Sobchak (who would even think of doing that? Let alone pulling off such a perfect caricature?) and Colonel Sanders.

This is great because I recognize all of these trademarked properties!

You mean like Abraham Lincoln?

Honestly, if you took the names away, some of the highly distinctive characters would be unrecognizable; let alone the "John McClane," or "Omar [from The Wire, apparently]."

Interesting concept, but compares poorly to the other Lego FPPs.

Also, Lando's cape was gold on the inside, blue-grey only on the back.

His Space Dwarf sets are pretty neat, though.

It's difficult to pick a favorite, but I'm going to go with Robocop. Aquaman's spit curl brings him to a close second.

Really, though, it's what he does with it that's impressive.
