The new BrickForge animals are here and available for purchase through our
website. We did our best to retain the charm and
features of our classic counterparts such as beveled edges, 1x2 functionality on
our cows and 1x1 back stud on our sheep and pigs. The ‘clutch’ power of these
animals allows them to stick to base plates or other studded surfaces pretty
tight.
The bovine is designed to convert between a cow and a steer/bull by utilizing
either a clip-on udder piece or a set of custom horns (both sold seperately).
Fit a normal 1x2 brick, plate, tile on its back and set out to graze; or hook
Old Bessie up to a hitch and plow the fields. Perhaps you’d rather saddle up a
bull for some rodeo fun? White cow features a different screen printed spotted
Holstien pattern on either side. Horns also fit standard ‘rod’ receptacles such
as viking helmets or lightsaber hilts.

Woo-hoo! Congrats, Kyle! I’ve already placed my order:-)
To all: I saw these prototypes at Brickworld, and they are as if TLG made them
themselves! (unsoliticited testimonial)

Hey all,
While selling some overstock to a friend yesterday I had the pleasure of looking
over these items as he’d brought a bag with him. I was very impressed with the
quality of molding. Some of the cows had small gaps between parts, but a little
carefully applied brute force generally solved that.
I was especially tickled over the udder parts and the ability to use the Viking
horn on the bovines.
Superb stuff that I would heartily recommend to anyone dreaming of a perfect
Lego farmscape!

Word to that! I just received my menagerie from BrickForge in the mail today!
My epigrammatic review goes thusly:
The teats are udderly fantastic;
The cows are mooey bueno;
The sheep are shear
perfection;
And I am sow happy with my 3 little pigs:-)
Thanks, BrickForge!!

Shucks! Hey, where I come farm, you milk it till it’s dry.
Weed it and reap.

Thanks for the great review guys!

Yes, this is due to the fact that sometimes the halves go together easier than
others. After you put together a few dozen your hands start getting tired. We’re
looking into utilizing grips or a press to solve the gap issue (and avoid
arthritis). It’s really just a matter of the amount of force that is used;
perhaps we can just send them all to Chris M. to fit together!
