[MOC] The Koopalings and Bowser Jr

[Cecilie]

This was also one of my builds for the Dual of Pirates over at brickpirate.net, with the dark tan ladder seed piece. I initially just built the 7 Koopalings, but then I also added Bowser Jr. after I lost the duel, and made him the trophy for Fujiia

For those who don't know who the Koopalings are (shame on you!) they are the original 7 world-bosses from Super Mario Bros. 3 (for NES). They have since had a long break, before having been revived as bosses in some of the New Super Mario Bros games.

Bowser Jr. was originally introduced in Super Mario Sunshine, but has since had much more screen time than the Koopalings.

My original picture of them somewhat mimicked their poses in the picture above:

But I have since taken individual pictures of them all.

Roy and Morton are quite similarly built, but differently colored. Roy was the one I built first of all of them.

Larry and Lemmy are the smallest ones. And yes, Lemmy can actually balance on the ball without any supports. But it is very hard to find the exact spot where he is in balance, and get him to stay there

Wendy is the only female Koopaling, and is the most different design compared to the others. Ludwig's hair was the hardest to figure out how to do.

Iggy's head is a bit top heavy, so it doesn't stay very well in place . Bowser Jr. has a bigger nose than the others, so I tried to make his face a bit different to emphasize his nose.

And finally, a picture of the trophy with Bowser Jr.

Perfect! Makes me go and play mario kart with Lemmy!
