Lego 'CubeDudes' By PIXAR Animator

An anonymous reader writes "PIXAR Animator Angus MacLane has created an incredible series of LEGO 'CubeDudes' modeled after beloved characters from sci-fi movies and comic books. From Star Wars heroes R2D2 and C-3PO to Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear and Jessie, the pixellated creations bear a remarkable likeness to their forebears. MacLane says, 'When I had a moment here and there I chip away at a few at a time. I'll have the body of one Dude and a head of another that I will be working on at the same time. It takes me about 10-15 minutes to make one CubeDude and I average about two a day.' The hardest part is the color palette — LEGO doesn't make purple bricks, so villains like Lex Luthor, The Joker, and Grimace are a challenge."

    Actually LEGO does make purple bricks. I have a decent selection of LEGO, around 600 pounds or so, give or take a pound or two. And I have a whole container full of purple blocks, a container oif purple plates and another one of purple plates. So this Article is full of lies and ignorance.
