Lego Tales: Homemade Minifigs Part 2
As you know from here, 7-year-old Noah had been repurposing his old minifigures with paper, markers, crayons & double-sided tape to change them into the minifig characters he wanted to play with. Most of his homemade minifigs were limited to paper masks & shirts, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that he also "decorated" Wolverine's pants. I just love Wolverine's claws made out white cardboard!
It has become common for him to prepare his minifig artworks. See the shirts of the Spiderman characters he plans to make.
Though so far, all he's made is Spidey...
... and the Big Lizard - who he probably started to make as a minifig (see the cut-out shirt above?) but decided against due to the villain-minifig's inaccurate proportion vis-a-vis Spiderman.
Love the eyes he drew and glued onto his Lego creation!

While I prefer the shirts he draws himself, I eventually gave in and printed the Batman minifig characters he had been pining for. I used a black & white printer this time so he opted to color in the parts that needed color.
See how he used red & black markers on Harley Quinn and a green marker to color in Poison Ivy's bodysuit?
But even though I saw how he prepped for Harley Quinn, I did not imagine his finished creation would look like this!
He used red, white & black clay to fashion Harley Quinn's jester hat! I was so amazed!
He used clay too for Two-Face's wild hair...
And even on Catwoman's mask...
Notice how he used black clay to cover up her white arms - the only arm pieces he had left after making all the Batman characters (he ran out of hands & legs to finish Black Spiderman)? Here are the rest of the Batman characters...
Even mixed with the actual Batman minifigs he owned (Joker's a remnant of an old keychain, see the hook on his head?), I still think (warning: mommy-goggles on!) Noah's homemade ones look way better than the store-bought ones!
Noah, at 7 years old, had moved beyond just Lego & paper to create his minifig characters. He had evolved to using clay as well. A true artist using mixed media!
My Noah... His creativity never fails to amaze me!
