    The Princess Bride

    created by Mykle03 on 2012.05.16

    Main Section
    The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies of all time and I believe it would be perfect for LEGO because the movie is enjoyed by all ages. I think it fits exactly with what LEGO is looking for when they choose themes for sets There are so many different iconic characters and scenes that can be adapted to sets. Below are some of the designs I came up with using LEGO digital designer with my limited custom LEGO building experience (hopefully they can be improved upon by LEGO if approved). The program proved to be very extensive as far as the number of different pieces but there are some custom to pieces that would be ideal, e.g different hair for minifigs, including ones with crowns for Prince Humperdinck and Buttercup, and swords for Inigo and Westley, if the set were to be manufactured. Above are the designs I came up with for the characters, some of which I have actually made into real minifigures. (Front Row) Dread Pirate Roberts, Buttercup, Inigo, Fezzik, Vizzini. (Back Row) Prince Humperdinck, Count Rugen, Miracle Max, Buttercup (Wedding), Florin Soldier. I have also come up with other designs (not shown here) for Miracle Max's wife and alternate designs for Fezzik (Black cloak), Humperdinck (Red outfit), Count Rugen (yellow outfit), Westley (opeining "as you wish" scene outfit), and Buttercup (opening scene outfit). Hopefully LEGO could get the appropriate licensing for sets like this.

    Above are the scenes where the Dread Pirate Roberts challenges Inigo, Fezzik, and Vizzini. The figures displayed are just rough representations using what was available in Lego Digital designer.

    Above is the Pit of Despair and the Fire Swamp. A minifig of "The Albino" character would be great for the Pit of Despair. The Fire Swamp would come with Westley and Buttercup and possibly Humperdinck, Rugen, and a Florin Soldier.

    Above is the Florin Castle, which includes the Chapel for the wedding scene, a gate for the storming the castle scene (with a wheelbarrow and Fezzik set on fire), the bed room for the scene where Westley defeats Humperdinck, and the dining room for the battle between Inigo and Count Rugen.

    Above is the front of Florin Castle. The front is designed very closely to the movie, perfect for the "Queen of Garbage" scene where Buttercup is booed by the old lady. The castle is designed to be both realistic as well as buildable for a set that can actually be sold on store shelves.

    I have also come up with designs for Miracle Max's house and Vizzini's boat for the "screeching eels" scene.
