It may take a long time to say anything worth saying in Old Entish, but you can describe this LEGO Ent by brickbuiltjosh in just one word: impressive. Treebeard (aka Fangorn) of The Lord of the Rings carries Merry and Pippin on his shoulders, probably a few stanzas deep into a really long song about leaves or something. His bark-like skin is captured in a wonderfully organic way, full of whips, curved elements, and dinosaur tails. His hands are handlebars, allowing for his fingers to spread. Each piece is arranged into an asymmetric whole that just works. Treebeard’s pose conveys a ponderous sense of weight and motion. According to the designer, large ball joints form the knees, hips, and shoulders, while his elbows are brick-built double hinges.

Here’s a closeup of his head, giving you a better look at the unkempt bramble of his beard and the clever arrangement of pieces for his eyebrows. And is that a frog adding some nice gnarled texturing at his temples?

Looking down at the base, you can make out the variety of parts used for the greenery of the forest that Treebeard treasures so much: plenty of standard foliage, plus a bunch of green Wolverine claws, and a rock made from what I believe is the top of Korg’s head from Thor: Ragnarok. Now that’s a crossover I’d love to see.
