    Wild Encounters

    created by Wrinkledog on 2012.05.14

    Main Section
    I find it a strange fact that literally thousands of different minifigs populate the world of Lego, and only a handfull of animals are around. It really is time that the animals caught up. This idea is to add animal family units to help fill in the world of Lego. Most all of the packs I envision would have a male, a female, and some baby critters.
    From Town to Castle and beyond, most Lego themes could benefit from having more critters.

    I have expanded this project from my original 3 designs to include animals from all over the world.

    I will continue to update this project with more critter families as my time allows.

    I have a Flickr location to host more images for this project... Please check out the images here:

    This small tower of Giraffes are out enjoying the early morning sun.

    In keeping with the theme of mounts, I created the adult Giraffes so they could wear a saddle. You can see an image of my scale mini-fig riding the Giraffes here:

    The idea behind the horse herd, was to show how an animal family looks like with non custom parts.

    Congratulations on 1,000+ Supporters!

    What LEGO® Minifigure wouldn't want to ride a giraffe, or a zebra, or even a lion? These animals could open up a whole new world for builders looking to create different themes and settings.  Great job putting it all together!

     

    Good luck on your journey to 10,000 supporters!
