User blog:Omega X/Custom Brickheadz
Hello guys! Recently, Lego released a line of Brickheadz figures which I find very creative and appealing. A few days ago I chanced across some excellent custom Brickheadz by none other than CM4S (whose customs I admire) on Flickr (They are viewable here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/89141500@N07/)
Anyways, inspired by all these great works of art, I started creating my own line of Brickheadz! More would be added in the near future, but for now, theres only Morro from Ninjago!

NINJAGO BRICKHEADZ[edit source]
Custom: Morro[edit source]
One challenge I faced was trying to get his hair right, as well as a suitable representation of his torn robe and cape (I ended up using grills to represent torn cloth, and Im satisfied with the result =P)
Custom: Sensei Wu[edit source]
Thought it would be fitting to do one of the heroes after Morro, and settled with Wu. I based this design off his "tea robe" look, with a gold and white coat. The most challenging thing for this would be his beard, as it is very hard to get it just right and recognisable, without seeming too complex or bulky. Hope yall like it! =)
Custom: Pythor[edit source]
Andd this is the most challenging brickheadz i've ever built! Had to entirely redesign the legs and head, and Im glad at how they turned out! do hope that I could capture Pythors grin more accurately though..
Custom: Lloyd[edit source]
Created this as a counterpart to Pythor (cos Brickheadz all come in pairs =P). Surprisingly, the most challenging part of this is actually the shoulder pads! I thought of attaching them from the back (like a cape), but it turned out too bulky so I ended up with this simpler, but much better looking, solution!

CMF SERIES 16 BRICKHEADZ[edit source]
Custom: Banana Suit Guy[edit source]
Well let's take a break from all that Ninjago shall we! Anyways this turned out to be a very fun build, I enjoyed every part of building this, and the challenging part of this would actually be the bottom of the banana, as I tried to make it as simplistic as possible without it being too bulky. Loved the actual minifig, and Im happy with my custom Brickheadz of him! =)
Custom: Dog Show Judge[edit source]
Decided to try this for the hair, and as expected, it was the most challenging part of this minifig! The suit also turned out to be surprisingly difficult to render too though..
Custom: Mariachi[edit source]
Fell in love with this figure the moment it was unveiled, and simply had to do it as a Brickheadz. The hat was the most challenging but the most fun part at the same time.
Custom: Ice Queen[edit source]
Decided to attempt this minifig as i thought it would be very interesting to capture its essence in Brickheadz form, and sure it was challenging! The dress was surprisingly hard to capture with its simplistic yet striking design, and while the final product was not that close to the actual minifig, I was satisfied. The crown was another challenging area, as it is scaled quite unusually with the actual figure, and I could not find any existing part which replicates its scale perfectly.

NEXO KNIGHTS BRICKHEADZ[edit source]
Custom: King Halbert[edit source]
I have always loved the new King hairpiece and how well it complements the beard released eariler, so I decided to do King Halbert from Nexo Knights! It was a interesting build with its own challenges, but the most memorable challenge would be trying to get the crown right with the correct shaping and proportions. The beard was a challenge too, which I finally settled on using the croissant pieces which I used eariler with the Mariachi =P
Custom: Flama[edit source]
I decided to do Flama because of her unique headpiece and colour scheme. Turns out that the colour scheme was MUCH harder to capture in LDD than it is in real life..had a hard time making the trans orange show through..hope that the final product does the actual figure justice! =P
BIONICLE GEN 2 BRICKHEADZ[edit source]
Custom: 2015 Tahu[edit source]
Upon hearing the suggestion of doing Bionicle or HF by the anon in the comments, I immediately became interested with it, and what better character to start other than the mascot of Bionicle-Tahu? Anyways this construction is immensely challenging in many ways, and it took much longer than any other Brickheadz. The mask was a very difficult shape to capture with its details, especially at the sides of the cowl. The hands were a challenge to replicate too, with the weapon being too oversized (in this case) and the legs being too stubby and thin to capture accurately.
However the mask turned out pretty well and recognisable imo, while the legs do still remain relatively plain =/
THOR RAGNAROK BRICKHEADZ[edit source]
Custom: Hela and Grandmaster=[edit source]
Was really interested in recreating the gigantic helmet of hela in brickheadz, and the process of recreating her helmet does not disappoint =P hela's helmet actually has 5 spikes on each side, but it ended up way too crowded and i decided to just cut down to a manageable 3.
The grandmaster proved to be less challenging but there is still some element of challenge, especially in his hairstyle. Hope it turned out well!
Please do leave your comments down below thanks![edit source]
