Two guests today!
First: Payton Dean, founder of BrickTactical. Payton manufactures dozens - maybe hundreds - of custom weapons and minifigs of all sorts: from video game weapons to customizable .50 caliber sniper rifles. If you want a gun, odds are BrickTactical has you covered.
Payton also runs the BrickTactical YouTube channel, which showcases new batches of minifigs / weapons. A lot of these are limited run, so keep your eyes peeled for new uploads! Recently, he did a batch of sand red Scout Troopers and I’m kicking myself that I didn’t grab (at least) one.
My other guest is Joe Trupia of Citizen Brick. It’s another custom minifig website, but his offerings couldn’t be more different from Payton’s. A lot of joke minifigs with a handful of military stuff thrown in there.
For Clutch Power supporters, you get a bonus segment with Joe about why Citizen Brick has military stuff at all. And why are there no guns?
You’ll also get access to a MOC of Uncle Sam. This is straight up my favorite MOC I’ve built for this show so far. It came together so well and I love how unsettling and aggressive he is. If that don’t represent America, I don’t know what does!
It’s $2 / month to become a Clutch Power supporter, and you’ll get bonus content + a MOC for every episode!
