Bootlegs Part 15
TV screen or computer backgrounds are a staple design of SPACE: The Comic, providing a vibrant luminescence behind the characters, ships and sets. But it’s not always possible or easy to use those backgrounds, especially when I need to create a bigger environment to accommodate multiple ships. So, that’s when I break out materials like bath towels, blankets, cotton balls and clippings from the hedge outside my front door. It may not be entirely convincing, but I think it creates a feel reminiscent of (if not quite as detailed as) old-time children’s TV created with miniatures, like Davey and Goliath.
– This is not an official LEGO comic. This is a tribute. Nor is it related to Best-Lock.

Creepy. Almost human… er, Lego man but not quite. Are these the “Space the Comic”-verse version of Autons?
I don’t want to comment on just what they are at this point, but I will say I hadn’t thought of the Auton connection even though they really do look like it!
By the way, I really like the backgrounds particularly the ground/blanket. Has a nice texture, which is an interesting contrast to the usual smooth or studded ground everyone’s usually standing on. Makes for a very alien environment for the heroes to meet their doppelgangers in.
Thanks. The more I look at it, the more I think it works.
X-D Nothing says evil like minifigs with noses.
If my memory serves me, none of the Best-Lock space sets had blue minifigs, in which case you would have needed to subject yourself to another BL set, just for those parts. That’s dedication, folks.
Wait a minute. Not-Galanos’s legs, hips, arms, and visor are Lego parts.
You’d think, right? But no, all those parts are from (what I believe) is a later Best-Lock set that features cops. They switched from the more rounded legs to the more rectangular legs like LEGO uses. I figured the mismatch worked just fine for this storyline. And those visors are a piece of crap. They barely stay on the helmets.
You might also noticed that the Best-Lock “LEGO”legs don’t hold together very well.
Really? Wow, those parts are dangerously similar to Lego.
Haha, it’s true, I bought a separate (thankfully small) Best-Lock set for the blue parts.
The noses look really weird. I almost had Schwartz and Galanos point them out, then I realized that they HAVE noses; we just don’t see them.
