Don't touch that penguin, Joe!

After seeing Adam Silcott's penguins, I wanted to make one of my own. Ideas never came, though, so I threw in Joe Vig. An idea just jumped in after that....

That's kind of strange. Is the ninja the protector of penguins?
Anyways, nice landscaping, the ninja is in a good action stance rather than just standing there with a sword. Try putting a black ninja mask on him, so he sort of looks like a human in dressed like a penguin?

Nice! I've always admired your vigs, and having seen those cute little penguins, this is a great little vig. Nice combination of the elements, and I think your penguin looks beter.... could be the use of the yellow hand. I think the originals were done with white hands?

This is cool eNIGMa. I wonder why the ninja's attacking Joe Vig?

Good job.

Cool vig! And the reason why the ninja is attacking Joe is that he's a member of PETA

Anyways, good landscaping also.

Cool vig! I laughed pretty good at this one. It is sort of like my Joe Vig vig when I had him and Johnny Thunder fighting over a frog (yeah, weird, I know, no one got it). Glad to see the penguins march on.

It's a funny vignette, but not Joe Vig. He's not being oblivious in this one, he's just being attacked.

A little odd...

Thanks for your comments, everyone. As far as I remember, this was my first attempt at landscaping.

I've just had a full night's sleep, and now that I've seen my vig with fresh eyes, I must say you're right. Our friend Joe's just had a rough week, huh?

Anyway, thanks again for your comments. It is a strange vig, but what do you expect in a Lego forum?

Hmm, perhaps it's not just a vig of a random attack from a ninja in the arctic. Instead, maybe it's a very clever, symbolic vig depicting a rather frustrating modern day dilemma. Perhaps Joe was working on a Linux system (hence, the penguin), and it froze up (the snow). But, unaware to Joe, this is not just a simple problem that can be solved by rebooting. Rather, a "hacker" or "code ninja" has infected his system. Once Joe reboots, his computer may get caught in an infinite loop, or his Sector Zero may be destroyed! Don’t do it: don't touch that penguin, Joe!

Yeah... what he said!

That's actually really clever. Mind if I adopt that idea for this?

No problemo, help yourself -- I'm full of great ideas! (Or maybe I'm just full of it. Either one.)
