LEGO Ideas Feature: Steve Irwin & Majestic Crocodile By King Of Crocs

Listen to this article

Usually I lean towards sharing buildings and things Minifigure scaled, today I’ve gone for a LEGO recreation of a legend, Steve Irwin!

This submission, by King Of Crocs, features a scaled-down replica of a Crocodile perched nicely on a brick-built stand. This attaches to a smaller plinth where Steve Irwin stands proud holding a smaller Croc.

Crikey! Steve Irwin, aka The Crocodile Hunter, was a famous Australian zookeeper, conservationist, wildlife educator, and environmentalist – King Of Crocs

I remember sitting down to watch his TV show and being in awe of him and his talent. With his sudden and tragic death in 2006, the whole world lost a hero and since then nobody has taken his place, he is truly a legend.

So having him immortalised in LEGO form would be a great honour and one I’d definitely purchase if produced into a real set.

The Minifigure captures Steve Irwin brilliantly, with his big cheeky smile and Zoo uniform. The alternative face is also fun, a shocked expression. The plinth he’s in has a small Crocodile laying in some water, a few bits of foliage and a rather nice name plate, I do hope this will be printed.

The Majestic Crocodile is a sight to see too, being entirely brick-built with articulation and opening mouth. I like how it looks overall and the colour scheme used, it’s an amazing replica of the prehistoric looking creature.

The crocodile is not green because there are no purely green crocs in real life! The colors and patterns of my model were made to match the most common ones in real saltwater Crocs – King Of Crocs

The set idea itself it fully polished and could easily be made into a purchasable set, I’d buy it for sure and display it proudly on my shelf.
