Lego Rock Band is going to feature Iggy Pop -- fucking Iggy Pop -- as a Lego guy. This is so awesome I can't stand it. I was discussing this with 16bit.com's Adam Pawlus last night, and we pretty much agreed if Lego/Harmonix offered an Iggy Pop Lego figure with the game, we would happily pay $60 for it, and we wouldn't even need the damn game. That got us talking about how much we wanted Lego figures of David Bowie in his many personas (me) and Devo (Adam). Long story short, we're getting a viking boat, sailing to Denmark, and going to fuck up the Danes until they give us the Lego rock stars the world so obviously needs. Who wants to come with?

The good thing about Iggy being made of Legos is that it's sort of realistic to his new not-so-wiry image. Whoever knew you could develop a heroin gut?

A Jerry Garcia minifigure would be ridiculously cool.

Please, go easy on the Danes. A life toiling in the Lego Mines is difficult enough!

I'm coming with you. I'm coming with you to get some DEVO Legos, and I'll demand my Thomas Dolby, Gary Numan, Human League, Tears For Fears, Frank Chickens, Waitresses, Duran Duran, Buggles, China Crisis, Orchestral Maneouvres In The Dark, Electric Light Orchestra, Klaus Nomi and Blu Oyster Cult Lego Minifigs while I'm there.
Wish me luck.

I wonder if "Lego Iggy" will be smear peanut butter on his chest, roll around in broken glass, walk on top of the crowd or flash his giant sclong like the real Iggy did?
Tonik said:
I'm in. The world needs Lego Bowie, and I'll personally be demanding a Lego Keith Moon.

Lego Bowie NEEDS to have Ziggy and Thin White Duke versions. They can skip the Glass Spider one, though.

One word...LOL.

this shows that Lego is always trying to raise their bar on how they do lego versions of people and characters for suprised they did not make the Lego Iggy be able to sing for the glass and peanut butter one can use other lego blocks for that. and doubt full Lego will ever try and dare make their lego duplicates so antomically correct so Lego Iggy will not come with his Lego junk to show

Sellout.
God, all these fake me-too music games blow. Can we move on to The Next Big Thing please?

Now we need a Lego Klaus Nomi figure.
Darryl Satchmo said:
Klaus Nomi would bring you a total eclipse of awesome.
Stiff Shots said:
Second Dr. Rotwang's call for Lego Blue Oyster Cult. "More Lego Cowbell!" Personally, I need (a) Lego Residents (tuxedo/eyeball edition), (b) Lego Stevie Nicks, circa RUMORS, and (c) Lego Trent Reznor, circa the "Wish" video.

But, on second thoughts, A lego Michael Jackson might be a real deal, and I WANT one now.

When I was young, my friend and I painted our lego figs like KISS with white out and sharpies. Then we had them in this huge diorama beating up hippy lego figs. I don't really understand it, looking back....
