A Dapper Dinosaur
I decided that, since Igor lives at the office now (to stare down a coworker’s superhero action figure collection), he should have a costume for halloween. I was going for Steampunk but didn’t really have anything to give it the edge needed, so we’ll settle for Dapper Victorian.

Megamind

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (Nintendo DS)
Lego Harry Potter Nintendo DS Story Rating: 3/5 – Seems disjointed at times, unplayable really if you haven’t read books or seen movies. Environment Rating: 4/5 – The Potterverse has been translated into lego very well. Game Play Rating: Fun, but I really don’t want to replay it to get all of the hidden items…
