You can see that video on their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LEGO\/videos\/10155260653428403\/\">Facebook page here<\/a>. They needed 18 unique outfits for Nutcrackers built within a few weeks, and we jumped at the chance to do some building for the LEGO group.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as we had the idea for a Johnny Thunder nutcracker, I knew we had to do it. I decided to base his outfit on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bricklink.com\/v2\/catalog\/catalogitem.page?id=37960#T=S&amp;O={%22iconly%22:0}\">this minifigure<\/a>, with the exception of the arms and legs, which I changed to red and brown respectively, instead of tan. The revolver was perhaps the trickiest part of the figure, but with Isaac&#8217;s help, I think it turned out pretty well. All in all, this is definitely one of my favorite nutcrackers I made for the promotion.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 16%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-9835 gallery-columns-6 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Thunder-2.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[9835]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Thunder-2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Thunder-3.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[9835]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Thunder-3-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Thunder-4.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[9835]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Thunder-4-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Thunder-1.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[9835]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Thunder-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isaac\u00a0and I got a very unique opportunity through\u00a0InnovaLUG, to build a series of Nutcrackers based off of the promotional Nutcracker set to aid in The LEGO Group\u2019s advertising of the\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"continue-reading-button\"> <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/?p=9835\">Continue reading<i class=\"crycon-right-dir\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9832,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[660,818],"tags":[2497,286,102,931,2324,2337,1437,8,49,412,2466,2326,2437,70,2362],"class_list":["post-9835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-john","category-special-themes","tag-adventurer","tag-build","tag-creation","tag-gun","tag-hair","tag-hat","tag-johnny-thunder","tag-lego","tag-moc","tag-model","tag-mustache","tag-outfit","tag-revolver","tag-rope","tag-suit"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9835"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9835\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9836,"href":"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9835\/revisions\/9836"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9832"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
