This week starts the newest reoccurring section at Gadizmo, Geek Weekly, and to celebrate the triumphant start to nerdism and pure unadulterated fun, we’d like to kick off the event by taking a look at life-sized LEGO Avengers props!

Just take your time and pull out a boatload of red, white, and blue Legos like Ken Robichaud did (over at his LEGO themed Flickr account buriedbybrick), and get busy.
Much of the fun that LEGOs offers kids (ages five to one-hundred-five) is that the kits make one thing, and your own devilishly themed architecture experienced mind crafts another.
Unlimited possibilities open doors to recreating the Asgardian god Thor’s own all-powerful war hammer Mjölnir, which is used to brutally strike (and piss off) the Hulk in the recently released Marvel movie The Avengers.
The attention to detail that Robichaud puts into the ingenious life-size props discounts reason and unleashes innumerable possibilities of wearing the token wrist guards of Asgard and then having a brain-washed (via the Cosmic Cube) Hawkeye shatter them with a well-aimed shot from his LEGO bow and arrows.
LEGOs will splatter (or clack like square plastic often does) the wrist guards’ shreds to the ground unless a Captain America look-alike can swoop in and block the blow with his preternatural shield. As cool as the Hawkeye quiverful of customized incendiary LEGO arrows are, surely they cannot make a dent in the Captain’s LEGO shield!
