And if they really do, why weren't there any in my 7419 ? :?
May be it's just some kind of packaging error..
It is not a really 3L bar. I mean the lenght is three studs, but the bar is thiner then the normal bars. only in the center of the bar there is a short range where a Minifig can hold it.
Maybe you can see it in this picture better: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1807265

Very nice job on these all-official customs! This topic really should be in the customs section. Can't wait for the folders to be public so I could get a better look at the shield the black and white guy is holding.

These are all really amazing, Jens. The black/white warrior is wonderful, and the dwarf king is cool. The monochromes are all really cool, I think my favorite is the blue, it just looks really good, and I love dwarves.

Oooh, light blue visor goodness ;) These are great figs as usual. I think it is time for me to search bricklink for some of these items...

Ahh, what an excellent usage of parts! Especially now that I can see them. I mush prefer the MOCs that use pieces in new ways, not just the ones showing off rare colors. I mean, they're neat, but lacks the innovation shown in some of your other minifigs. I hope that comes out right....

What is the blue fig using for his shield. It looks like the toilet bole from the Harry Potter sets, but sinces it's blue, I know it can't be that.

Great figures, Jens !
I really like the black viking helmet on your black & white warrior.
I used them for my "Black Vikings". I assume you know they also exist in tan ?

Too bad that some special-colored parts turned out to be clones, though. What about the brown hat wrap, is it real ?
I also noticed them on BL, but didn't really feel like buying them for that price.

Yes, the tan helmets I recognized as well, but I don't have a idea to use yet. Maybe sometimes later.

Ah, you have found the picture with the hat wrap and my little story about the white 3844.

Image Image

The hat wrap has an "Lego" print inside, like the real have too. The brown isn't milky and looks good. But if you see it next to brown and reddish brown you will see, that this isn't one of these colors. Anyway, I like the hat wrap (maybe I'm now only a 99 % purist... ) and I wanted to show the bags on this picture. I will take a picture of the brown wrap between the other browns, so you can make your own opinion.

But the white 3844 doesn't look like real Lego. It's a little bit milky, so it goes to the other clones in my collection.

On the same way I got a red and a chrome cutlass, a red halberd, and a red quiver over the years. But this 4 clones has an other shape than original Lego. They come all along in sets from enlighteen bricks. The white helmet is the same shape like Lego, but it's a clone.

What a pitty, I don't find enough time to finish my latest moc. The weather is lovely and I have to work in the garden (it is very necessary). Not the best time to hug the fire in the Lego-cellar.

But I dedicate some minutes to the latest bricklink-orders and the Wal-Mart clearence sale (they close the german stores):

With some of the Alpha-Team Torsos I tried to create an own little faction, the BleachedBugs:

Image crowd, few

And this is a halberd that I want to show you:

These are sweet! Those spider guys are awesome!

The translucent green guy is interesting. Smoehow he seems to work, yet it doesn't really make since...

Great job all around, jens!

These latest figures of your are great. I really like the BleachedBug Faction – it is very cool. I have always thought, that the alpha-team torso would make a great medieval faction, and you just provided me with the proof that it does. I also do like the ‘evil-lime’ demon. Great work as always.
