Collecting all of my little white bits together I decided to have a go at the
concept in LEGO. The result:
(click on picture above to link to the gallery)
The skeletal balrog made its debut in an October 23rd
Halloween-themed Brikwars
game. Unfortunately by the time the characters found it they were hurting
and on the verge of going insane, so the balrog remained a statue rather than
come to unlife.
It’s quite articulated, very posable, and relatively sturdy. I’ve dropped it
a number of times and repairs are usually minor. Balance is occasionally as
issue due to the small size of the feet, but the minifig-hand-toe-talons
actually work wonders in providing support.
Also depicted is a large three-headed flail it can tote around. Now I just
need to get my hands on a flaming Bionicale sword ...
Please LMKWYT!

I would not have thought that a skeletal creature like this was possible. Very
well done. I was drooling over the brief glimpses from the BrikWars game pics,
these are much better. Excellent use of the horn piece for the wrist.
