    What "celebs"/interesting minifigs have you made?
    Too bad RB's online Merch Maker doesn't extend to LRB....it would be nice to post character pics here...

    But in lieu of that, would anybody like to post some interesting "celebs" or characters you've made for your band or entourage?

    I've got an awesome Dave Grohl fronting my band, of course (mop hair + black goatee head + skater camo T-shirt), with RHCP's Chad Smith on drums (backwards cap + one of the Power Miners' uniforms), John Entwhistle on bass (the skeleton suit, of course), and Angus Young on guitar (The Schoolboy outfit).

    I've also got Donald Trump as my Marketing Executive; and subbing at various positions are Napoleon Bonaparte, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, James Bond (Sean Connery edition: the dinner suit) and Benjamin Franklin. (I also think it's awesome that they based the Music Video Director on Rob Reiner's character from Spinal Tap. :))

    So....anybody got any interesting characters they've made for the game?

    EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot....when Angus or Jimi aren't on lead guitar, I usually have Santa Claus fill in ("hair today" + grandpa head + red arctic explorer costume). Ice Cool Guitar, of course.

    Seems like you have a very awesome band! ;)

    I made mine look like The Beatles's George Harrison.

    Changed the clothing too something that looked like the Sgt. Pepper Outfit, too something like a magicians (Magical Mysterry Tour), to something that looked from the Abbey Road and Let It Be era and the suit with mophair from the very beginning.

    Little disappointed with the mini-fig options but I managed to eke out a couple of goodies.

    The Joker on the drums (green slick hair, the vampire face, and a purple suit); The Hulk on Bass (orc head and torso); and of course Angus Young on guitar. With no face paint options, limited hair/hat combos and no skin tone changes, making cool mini-figs turned into an exercise in frustration. Tis' a shame, as customization, to me, is the whole point of Legos.

    I haven't unlocked all of the pieces yet, so I'm waiting to make more characters. But I've also got Napoleon Dynamite and Eddie Riggs in my roadie group.

    I plan on making Wolverine, the Marathon Marine http://www.johnwallin.net/bilder/marathon.jpg and maybe Brian Jacques.

    I did a so-so job of creating Animal as my drummer.

    I say so-so because if you saw him you wouldn't immediately recognize him until you saw the name. Then you'd say "Ohhhhhh...."

    At least he's the only one in the band with a yellow face. That helps.

    Sounds like you got some cool minifigs.
    I've made a young Michael Jackson to play "I Want You Back" with or other songs too he's vocals in my career.
    I've made an AC/DC member(i dont know there names i just know what they look like) i just pretty much used the schoolboy outfit.
