You know, for people with very small fingers...

As the diminutive Japanese building system nanoblock gains traction here in the US, with new sets appearing in stores on a regular basis, more ambitious original creations are starting to emerge from more 'wizened' fans in the Far East.

First up is higeko_dx, a graphic designer from Tokyo, who's choice of subject matter reveals her dark sense of humor (...check out her Crab Prince, Child's Play and Little Man Piss, if you dare!).

Meanwhile Christopher Tan from Malaysia has been churning out a ton of amazing character-based models recently. Here is but a tiny sample of his collection, which also includes R2-D2, Shawn the Sheep, Wall-E and Batman.

Captain America
Smurfette
Panda
Darth Vader

In some ways it seems nanoblock's basic palette of brick types actually lends itself well towards character-based creations, which I love because that's what I'm all about. I just wish my fingers were small enough to emulate this kind of work!
