2025 marks the 30th anniversary of Joel Schumacher’s Batman Forever, which was ostensibly a soft-reboot of Tim Burton’s Batman universe that started with Batman (1989). To coincide with this anniversary, companies like McFarlane Toys and Sideshow Collectibles have released figures and vehicles to commemorate the film. The LEGO Group has also offered a tribute with set 76304 Batman Forever Batmobile, a version of the car that has quickly become one of my favorite on-screen Batmobiles. Today, I’d like to survey the history of the Batman Forever Batmobile, namely its influences from prolific artist H.R. Giger, as well as some small changes I’ve made to the set for my own preferences and to better represent the alien look of what might be the coolest on-screen Batmobile to date. The Biomechanical Batmobile and Its Influences HR Giger, the Swiss artist known best for the Xenomorph from the Alien series, was approached to design...

Some journeys take us far, far away. We start by putting together a few sets, and one thing leads to another, and suddenly a whole universe opens up to us. Today, we’re going to visit Nicolas Riveau’s extended universe, so hop aboard the nearest rocket to begin the journey. Meet Nicolas Sam: Hello Nicolas, I was lucky enough to cross paths with your rockets at the Let's Go exhibition in early April, where I discovered your creations in the flesh (and bricks). Can you introduce yourself? Where does your passion for the space sector come from? Nicolas: I’m Nicolas. I'm passionate about Space and LEGO. As a teenager, I was fascinated by stars, planets and the adventurous spirit of space exploration. Of course, the Star Wars movies came along, but that’s not the whole story.

In this ongoing “Before and After” series, we explore how custom-made creations sometimes anticipate official elements eventually released by LEGO. For this special summer edition, we’re diving deep (literally) into underwater creatures and swimming back up to land for a few surprises on the surface. Let’s take a closer look at these nautical elements and their official LEGO counterparts. Dangerous Anglerfish The depths of the ocean hold great potential for some amazing underwater adventures, especially in LEGO form. The sea bed is full of colorful coral, lurking monsters, and if you get too deep, one very hungry anglerfish. This monster is a crazy mix of glued and sculpted paper, with LED lights on the inside. I sculpted the anglerfish specially for dark and mysterious scenes where the small source of light from the fish’s body is a key element of storytelling. The fish becomes the main part of the environment. It’s...
