Hey, Legoland citizens, it’s set-up-your-own-meth lab time!
Okay, so this terrific figure of Walt wasn’t made by Lego but by a little company called Citizen Brick that makes its own Lego-compatible figures, tiles, accessories, and something called, kinda menacingly, “body parts.”
And it’s free, so, hey, ya gotta love it.
Here’s the scoop, from the scoopers who created it:

Guess he’s been indoors, hiding from the brrr:
t’s been absolutely freezing in New York City lately! I thought I’d escape and visit someplace warm, like Hawaii or maybe Venus. The TARDIS wasn’t having it though, and brought me to Amsterdam instead. I think it was maybe a few degrees warmer there, when the sun was out. The beautiful canals and architecture made the trip worth it I suppose. Lovely place, Amsterdam.
Unhappily for me, I don’t know Denny O’Neil, editor and writer of many of my favorite Marvel and DC comics characters, including Spider-Man and Batman. Many people, however, think we must be buddies because we’ve worked on the same projects, know many of the same people, and love and write about some very outre things.
But we’ve never worked on those projects, hung with those people, or loved and written about those outre things together. I did once get a letter from Denny, back when he was an Editor of The Amazing Spider-Man. It was a personal reply to a letter I’d sent to Marvel praising a particular ish (as Stan Lee had trained us fanboys to call them), and Denny’s response was astonishingly honest: He disagreed with me. Said he hadn’t liked the story at all. (And I think he may even have written it.)
So I, of course, have loved the guy from afar ever since.
