We’ve seen Mario’s henchmen in LEGO form before, but never have we seen the man himself quite like this. Weighing in at a massive 110 pounds and standing 5 feet 9 inches tall, this life sized Mario model is completely structured, modeled and built using  over 40,000 LEGO bricks. The pictures do all the talking here.

Built specifically for the Netherlands’ Game Mania by Dirk VH, the result of this massive undertaking is to be sold on eBay, with all proceeds heading off to charity, most likely to aid starving plumbers.

Merging the best of two of the geekiest worlds into one, the LEGO Foosball table combines the amazing sport of table soccer (and yes, I use the word sport very loosely here) with our absolute favorite building toy, LEGOs.

Look, Knex are pretty good and I’mma let you finish, but LEGOs make the best foosball table of all-time! Hit the jump for an awesome LEGOing foosballing vid of wonder.

While surfing through the ole feed reader today I came upon not one, but two awesome MJ “Thriller”-themed shirts, both with a geeky flair. The above tee print is a mash-up of Michael Jackson Thriller-era and the game Left 4 Dead. A perfect mix if you ask me.

Hit the jump for a lego-fied journey to the world of Thriller.

Your favorite multiplayer zombie slaying game gets the LEGO treatment. Made using custom LEGO minifig stickers for extra detail, these Left 4 Dead LEGO figurines could only be better if they somehow integrated Star Wars into the mix. I know, it’s a long shot, but come on, what’s wrong with dreaming?

You can really get anything made with a LEGO brick pattern, can’t you? Even something as moderately obscure as a stop animation camera.

If your into claymation or minifig-cinema, the stop-motion feature is perfect for creating your own shorts (or pants). This camera retails for around $80. Not too shabby for such an abundant amount of geekery.

Two of the biggest stars from one of the best of the worst shows from the 90s. Baywatch launched a revolution, not of television, but of wanking. There is no telling how many tissues this show wasted. I probably killed a small forest myself. I mean, just look at that body. He must work out.

It was only a matter of time, we suppose, that the prototypical 90s series entered the realm of geeky mash-ups. David Hasselhoff and Pam Anderson don’t look nearly as good these days (especially Pam… yikes) but their LEGO counterparts catch their image from their glory days of sexual iconic-ism.

Lego builder Brandon Griffith created this awesome Star Wars chess set made completely out of LEGO elements.

Griffith didn’t adhere to the typical chess piece rules. A few of the chess men are actually designed as vignettes from the movie. For example, the king’s bishop is actually a model of Obi Wan Kenobi disabling the Death Star’s tractor beam. Griffith also focused on the board’s durability. So basically, it won’t fall apart when you move it around.

He might not transform into a Bug mobile, but he’s just as awesome in my book. LEGO Donald Duck is just as impossible to understand as the real one.

One of our favorite holidays is coming up on September 19th. While technically everyday should be “Talk Like a Pirate Day” for us, September 19th is the day the world comes together and arghs and urghs in harmony.

In celebration of this kickass holiday and as an entry for September’s Mini Build Design Contest, Flickr user polywen created this awesome LEGO brick pirate, complete with a creative wooden leg. Just keep an eye on your yellow bricks, they might be mistaken as gold booty.

Former GEARFUSE editor and resident GEARhead, Vince Veneziani, was kind enough to tip us off to this awesome project by Barnaby Gunning, who designed this insanely insane house made entirely of LEGO bricks, not just repaired with the bricks, like we’ve seen in the past. Insane.

Oobject has the low down on the house with an interview with the architect himself. The progress of the LEGO house is looking insane. Though I imagine the architectural integrity would be as fragile as a house made of glass. No throwing stones!
