Hero Factory MOC: Black Ice

Kicking off December is a Breakout-era MOC, the brutal Black Ice!

Black Ice is a member of a species similar to what we would call "the Yeti." He lived on an icy asteroid in the same region as Sigma Sigma, the asteroid on which Splitface lives. Unlike the other members of his species, Black Ice was the only super-intelligent one (he could speak). The elders of his species banished him from their village, causing Black Ice to go into a depressing anger. The Hero Factory tried to intervene, but that made him angrier, and he then swore revenge on the Hero Factory!

Black Ice finally exploded in anger and went on a violent rampage, and in a similar fashion to Aldous Witch, made a distress call. Hero Factory's Target Depreciation Squad (the equivalent of Animal Control or the SWAT team) came into action. Black Ice was immediately reprimanded and sent into the Factory's high-security prisons.


As a MOC, Black Ice is very simple. He doesn't carry any weapons (except his ultra-sharp crystal claws), but if he did, he'd probably have some sort of rock staff.


And, yes, there is a Hero assigned to him, one by the name of Caldera.

Black Ice is one of the 24 MOCs that I've chosen for the HF Advent Calendar. Stay tuned for tomorrow's entry!

Hero Factory Advent Calendar!

Hello fans!

I'm sorry for the lack of posts- I have other priorities to get to, but this is something to make up for it: the Hero Factory Advent Calendar!

A brief explanation:
This Advent calendar showcases a NEW MOC every day until December 25th. That's right,  24 NEW MOCs. On December 25, there will be a Christmas-themed MOC as well as Brain Attack pictures.
Get ready for today's entry!

Hero Factory MOC: Fallen Sprite

Another MOC is here! This time, it's the haunting Fallen Sprite!

Who would have known that the cheerfully colorful Lucient Sprite could corrupt so easily?  Their glowing crystalline armor has now darkened and rottened to the point where the former Sprite is now hideous and purely evil.

As a MOC, the Fallen Sprite incorporates colors from the LEGO palette that most people would call "grim" or "haunting," for example, Earth Blue, the quintessential Black, Medium Lilac, Bright Reddish Violet, and, to give it a more "zombified" look, Transparent Brown.

More MOCs to come!

P.S. The "Fallen Sprite" is based on LEGOJANG's Lucient Sprite. View the original MOC at:

Hero Factory MOC: Greasegunner v.4

The newest Hero Factory MOC is a Breakout hero, namely Greasegunner v.4.

There is really no backstory for him; he was just created to use a special Hero Factory weapon modeled on a M3 "grease gun" submachine gun.

His left hand is a claw, which may suggest villainy, but it was just put there for an "accent" on the character. It could also be a power glove of some sort.

Well, that's Greasegunner for you! More MOCs to come as always!

HF 2013 speculation

It's September, so we should expect to see some pictures of the winter 2013 Hero Factory sets.
My first bit of info comes from IMDB, who claims that the next two episodes of Hero Factory's TV series are called "Von Nebula Rises" and "Anti-Hero Factory." My second tidbit comes from Eurobricks, where someone described the sets as appearing to have brain-like objects on the top of their heads. They also will come in the bags we saw with Breakout again.

In other news that may excite HF fans, Ninjago's replacement is apparently called "The Legend of Chima," which has been described as similar to Avatar but with humanoid animals, flywheels, and "Hero Factory-ish" figures.

Prelims should be coming soon, but I will not be showing them on this blog.
More MOCs are coming, just working on some for now.

A look at what's coming in Summer 2012

I realize that I haven't posted for a while (my last post was on May 24), and no, I'm not dead, Black Phantom hasn't kidnapped me, and I most DEFINITELY have not quit Lego, so I am definitely going to post a TON of more MOCs throughout the summer. Here's a preview of what's coming.

• Alternate combiner models of the summer sets.
• More Breakout MOCs.
• You know how LEGOJANG said in his video for the Witch Doctor Drones, "the battle for Quatros still rages on?" Well it does now, as told by us at StoneHart.
• More Sempax videos, including one done by my self-MOC.
• More generic MOCs
• And something involving the post I made about Leggiere 2.0.

Stay tuned!
