Previews of New Brickforge Items!
by the enigma that... (Brick Talk)In the new issue of Brickjournal (a fantastic publication I've only recently discovered), there's an excellent interview with Kyle "Armothe" Peterson who, along with Red Bean, runs the Brickforge website. The interview itself is a fascinating look into the history of Brickforge (originally RedBean Studios) as well has how their custom accessories are designed and produced.
One very exciting aspect of this article: two pictures that provide a sneak peak into possible future Brickforge items!
First, mock-ups of potential Roman accessories:
Next, a series of sculpted prototype helmets.

Front row from the left: New "Winged" Helmet, Dwarven Helm, New Hair Piece
All in all, some exciting new developments, particularly the Mjolnir helmet. Assuming this piece sees production, I think there'll be alot of happy Master Chief fans out there with both this helmet and the upcoming Brickarms HALO weapons.
I've been in contact with Armothe about the Mjolnir, and while the item is still in development, Armothe and Red Bean currently plan to offer a custom visor in multiple colors for use with the helmet. This is for two reasons: firstly, the TLC visor was found to be too large to build an accurate minifig-scale Mjolnir-esque helmet around, and second, they were uncomfortable with Brickforge patrons having to make use of the secondary market in TLC parts to obtain such a crucial component to one of their accessories.
They also plan on offering the helmet in "many vibrant colors", so here's to hoping we can recreate all of our favorite "Red vs. Blue" moments. That Sarge-Simmons duo just cracks me up.
Personally, I'm most excited about the Roman accessories.
