Lego Monster Fighters line shown off at Toy Fair
About me


What is a Scarecroodle?
~It's a catchier and more memorable name than Scarecrow, which is generally taken anyway. Scarecrow, being a fear-related villain with a catchy costume, is probably one of my all-time favorite villains (just not the movie version).

Beyond that, I'm just an average white guy in the age 24~36 bracket.



What does a Scarecroodle like?
~I love fighting games, platformers, horror, and anime. I also collect a lot of Marvel/DC stuff, but most of that interest stems from the old cartoons/movies and the comic interest only came because I thought some of the figures looked insane. Figure-wise, I think the 6\" scale is probably the ideal size for figures. At that size they can make nice display pieces, sick detail, and joints that don't break (like in the crappy smaller scales).

I'm also a massive fan of the really small scales because it usually allows for a lot of incredible-looking scenery (check out stuff like Warhammer, etc). I would love to really get into sculpting, but I'm kinda clumsy which doesn't work well when things need to be exact.

I'd really like to get into statues (because the detailing and paint is usually good), but the pricing is more than a little daunting and you don't get as much variety out of them whereas figures can be posed into elaborate set-ups or whatever.

Folks, I'm not much of a Lego fan and it takes a terrible something to get me excited but when I see a spooky-themed Lego line I can't help breaking out a big ol' goofy grin. The line seems an eclectic mix of new and old stuff, as I remember having some of the ghosts (a normal lego in a plastic "sheet") when I was younger but can also recognize some new, really cool sculpts.

By far the coolest item in this series (even cooler than the castle) is a really wicked-looking train. I'm also finding their werewolf lego man adorable although I doubt I'd buy that set for him. Also notable is the Swamp Creature, arguably a work-around for not licensing Gillman himself. And yes, the castle is pretty damn neat.

Of course, you'll notice a LOT of "Preliminary Image. Not to be copied or disclosed"s in there =p
