@@veggie._.eggrollsyes give him ideas!!!! 😈😈
This is quite possibly the most impressive thing you've ever done, Making a clay sculpture that's fully lego compatible is nuts.

11:19 thank you for the indicator on which lego man was carl. the replica was so exact to details, i would’ve spent hours figuring out which lego was which
The fact that he isn't sponsored by the clay brand is surprising to me
Same
The nightmare is real, this kind of lego would be such a death trap if you accidentally step on it 😮
Stepping on Lego is always a death trap.
It doesn’t hurt tho. I don’t get why people think legos hurt. Also stepping on a hatchimal toy hurts. The most painful part of stepping on his lego would be the fear of seeing that face in the night, especially since I sleep in pitch black

My little brother wanted to say hello 👋
Mass produce these and replace normal minifigs with THIS
i love rewatching this one specifically for 9:23 that laugh is so genuine it warms my heart
Wow amazing
OMG ITZ LEGO COOKING
How this comment got only 3likes

The fact that you managed to make Carl almost fully compatible with the standard parts is just amazing.
just think if he makes it a 3D modle an army of carl
I feel like since so many household objects fit Lego so perfectly, it’s almost like Lego WANTED this to be made
They did
Carl is what the Lego Movie was missing.
This is your first video Adam after my grandma passed away on the 20th of June and I just wanna say thanks not only you but other CZcamsrs for making me smile and happy with your art and funny videos during this time of darkness in my life. My grandma was my rock. A person I could go to for endless wisdom and advice on my many questions about this weird messed up life. A person who could make my darkest days turn brighter. She will be missed and I’ll try to keep going on without her smile and many funny jokes. But your videos Adam and other CZcamsrs videos are what’s getting me through these times of darkness uncertainty fear and anxiety etc. so again thank you.
It wasn't the minifig I wanted, but it was the minifig I _needed._
It's the minifig we deserve.
In the great words of spooderman " I'm not the hero they want, and I'm not the hero they need. I'm the hero they get."
the fact that you designed him to be able to fit with an actual minifigure is horrifyingly awesome, i love it so much
I think it's awesome that Lego designed their minifigs to fit toothpicks, kebab skewers, and dowel rod so well. Very foreward thinking of them.
@@NorthoftheBorderyeah your mini figure you built was awesome!
@@NorthoftheBorder that was an amazing name you gave to this Lego figure you made
Carl such a simple name but such a powerful impact
First time on your channel... since I've had legos around me most of my life, this had me cracking up so hard. You are talented and funny.
That was the laugh of someone who is VERY pleased with what they made. I have had many such laughs myself. They are the best kind.
I believe this is your first fully posable creation! And the fact that it’s modular with normal LEGO pieces is the icing on the cake! Well done dude…
Wizzed
I bet that chubby Lego dude is hung like a bull hamster!
carl’s glamour shots are ✨golden✨
hi youtube
Omg it's CZcams!!
And yes, I totally agree 🤧🤧
I like to think whoever wrote this forgot to log in their personal account and and did this with the yt account instead
hello youtube
yooo tooob
The system is not broken, it works as designed.
Dude, your work never ceases to amaze me!! You are the reason that I spent a crap load of money and bought a bunch of polymer clay for my guy year old grandson and myself! We've made some pretty cool stuff so far, and you keep introducing us to new brands and types of clay, so we can't keep up!! The little guy has just started to really get into Lego, so I think I may take some of the cheap no name Lego guys I have kicking around, and do something like Carl here, for him🤣 Thanks for the amazing content, and keep up the tremendous work!!
I love the fact that Carl is compatible with official Lego pieces. Its this kind of unhinged attention to detail that made me subscribe in the first place back after the first lego video
Not exactly, while Carl may seem like it he is not, Carl is not compatible with LEGO you can not attach studs to his legs or head or hands, meaning you can’t use him like you would other LEGO
@@Ol_Lochy🤓☝️
@@Ol_LochyI bet your fun at parties
@@Ol_LochyHe litterally put him down on a piece of lego completely fine at the end, and earlier in the video his hands held the kebab stick the same way the regular mini fig did, and the head is able to be attached to hats because it was sculpted with the same measurements as the lego mini fig AS HE SAID, mf trynna be a nerd and still getting shit wrong 😭😭😭
@@Ol_Lochyalso at the end of the video he shows VARIOUS lego pieces fitting completely fine on the fig, ur just deadass wrong 💀💀💀
Adam is like the MeatCanyon of clay sculpting.

This is my first time seeing a video from this guy and I can assure you he is the best clay channel, the best lego channel, and possibly the best art channel. I'm thoroughly entertained. Perfect audio quality. Great shots/directing. Hilarious. Chapters to skip or rewind.
Wizard Carl! I LOVE that the pieces are interchangeable, that is incredible!
I think this is my favorite piece you've made so far. You've outdone yourself, Adam.
I'm awestruck at the beauty of the backfat cascading gently over the top of the wizard's robe bottoms. Magnificent.
that would be my favorite as well! just seeing all that fat is hilarious in a dress. makes him look super manly and sexy
You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
@@NorthoftheBorder i have an idea, make a realistic lego polar bear
@@NorthoftheBorderyou should make a heavily mutated ninja turtle that is so glorious it has a wheelchair but instead of wheels it’s a skateboard
@NorthoftheBorder I just found this after finding vintage lego figures
I made “Claygos” about 15 years ago when I was doing a lot of ceramic stuff. Just the bricks, of course. I was doing this thematic “Ancient Sumerian toys” where were basically modern things made out of clay because I thought it was funny, but, well, the claygos didn’t work at all (Though they looked neat) and the other stuff worked worse, so I went back to my old standby: large snails with arms and irritated expressions, wearing lobster bibs or carrying silverware or occasionally weapons
That is an oddly specific yet fascinating backup plan
@@jabble__ thank you. I was just learning sculpting, and it turned out snails were easy to make. So easy that I quickly got bored, and started making silly little additions to my hand-sized snails, which eventually evolved into “Bolivian Fighting Tree Snails.” They were funny, mostly because they seemed so pissed off (one was carrying a gun). I still have a few.
This was absolutely amazing to watch! Very talented!
Omg this is incredible work!
Those proportionally gigantic toenails are probably the most disturbingly realistic part of the figure. I think he's awesome though, love that he's actually poseable and compatible with lego pieces. I think the robinhod hat, turkey leg, and chalice are the most fitting accessories for him. Gotta keep up that figure.
its like Homer at a medieval festival after alot of ale
@@smileysatanson3404 Bobby B😂
@@user-wu2br7cs7iBobby b? Who’s Bobby b

Now he needs to make like a bunch of these all with different characteristics and then make a scene where the weird ones fight the normal ones.
Please!!! That would be amazing!!! 😂
@@strawberriice2833Yeah
Or a scene of them all being friends!
@@Dylan-ok6ft yeah, like a creator lego building but all the bricks are made out of clay and all the mini figs are made out of clay.
Yeeeeeeessssssssss
This is incredibly impressive, amazing job man. First video I’ve ever seen of yours!!
Why aren’t Lego selling this???!!!!!
Its a custom lego. They dont sell them. Sorry.😢
Every time I watch one of your videos with my Grandma, she won't stop talking about how talented you are lol
Does she like nightmare fuel?

Gorgeous , absolutely gorgeous ❤
Thank you for putting notes next to Carl in editing. I would've been too confused as to who is who if not for them.
It really is unfortunate that Lego’s so expensive. I think we should all make our own. Thank you for starting the revolution!
It’s not though
So Chick, there’s this thing called h-u-m-o-u-r…😆
@@LittleKikuyu so humour is saying lego is expensive when it isn’t? Hahahahahahah*notfunny*ahahahahahahaha
@@chicknorris9602 tbh, compared to how much LEGO used to be, it's definitely gone up in price since when Iw as a kid.
@@schplin8687 inflation
Can we all just stop for a second here and appreciate Adam's devotion to making sure the proportion / interchangeability of his clay Lego is consistent with the official product? It's amazing given how he always jokes about / gives himself a hard time for never planning and things get proportionally wonky. This is an amazing piece of work!
Dude I love watching your amazing work and I get a kick out of watching it.
This makes my eyes burn. Good job! :)
Singlehandedly the most disturbing and interesting pieces this disgustingly talented man has brought into existence. It truly is admirable that a human is capable of creating such... things.
The 1 toenail is just terrifying.
This is actually fckn scary Lego minifigure
Ah yes I can always rely on Adam to make things that come from my nightmares
Matpat says he’s been ruining your child hood since 2011 but north of the border has since 2020 or 2021.
@@Dino-Mite718GameTheory, the sequel
This didn't come from any of my nightmares, but it will be creeping into my future night terrors.
Where did you find that pfp?
this is beautifully creative
even the outro gives one a reason to stay for the patreon shoutouts
Your video is a real cocktail of energy and insights 👏🔥
Seeing official Lego pieces fitting seamlessly onto this monstrosity fills me with such a joy that I cannot put into words.
I almost always love your creations but this one is really even better than usual. A FUNCTIONAL to scale Adamrealitistic lego fig... it's just great. And I think wizard Carl is my favourite, he really made me chuckle.
The belly hanging over the skirt. It's a wonder we don't see it more often in DnD. It's amazing
mad talented.
Dude this is so good and hilarious. Thanks for the content 🖤
Making Carl interchangeable with standard Lego is just genius - I laughed so hard at the end 😂. My personal favourite has to be “fat Gandalf” 🤣. Only thing missing from this video was my favourite “adding Rocky texture - with a rock” 😁

I like this man, he makes my day when he uploads. I really like the creations. You do well :)
this was amazing to watch, very creative!
i can't even imagine the sheer terror that a kid would have if someone swapped the heads of these two
This is extremely impressive, the amount of fine motor control this requires is immense
I know, it's amazing how he can add so much detail to such one small sculpture
IT'S EVOLUTION, BABY!
that is a cute minifig actually
pretty nice

@@asher3311 well he made 2 this video
I found it really helpful you labeled which one Carl is at multiple times during the video. Had genuine trouble telling them apart great job.
Its so well done and so very upsetting XD
I still can’t believe how beautiful Adam makes all of his sculptures
I want to know how much has he spent on clay alone?
goooood question!
See if it’s worth making my own usc at-at set with clay instead of buying it.
i bet at least thousands. a little unreasonable but its just a guess
$5
less than a lego set's worth
What an absolutely beautiful sculpture sir. And the knights probably my favorite. Super cool how you were able to actually make him work with other Lego.
Your voice is very soothing to listen too. It's very calm. I did love this video. Have you done big Lego characters yet? Like the Goblin King in The Hobbit set, or the Hulk in the Avengers set, or even the Rancor in the Star Wars set. You have a great talent and you do a mighty fine job at clay sculpting if I say so myself. Keep it up. 👍
Surprisingly accurate to real Legos.
It’s terrifying how good Carl is
I think topless wizard is my favorite look for Carl. Also those single digit feet and hands are the stuff of absolute nightmares, excellent work as always, Adam.
This video is literally SO SATISFYING for me. I wonder why?
chefs kiss %100 best utuber ever
I absolutely love this. Please make more functional things like this one. I like the layers it adds to the process and it’s absolutely hilarious.
The little costume parade at the end made me laugh so much i had to gasp for air afterwards.
Really nice Craft Adam. All the time giving yourself hate towards not being able to plan ahead and get the right proportions are completly out of the window with this Modell.
I love and hate it at the same time.
.....HOW IS THIS MAN SO GOOD
The wheeze,laugh,and “I am pleased” was funny lol!!
this is crazy
it's so well done, and the fact that you can swap pieces with actual lego figures makes this even better
8:30 I remember doing this all the time with various different sticks when I was younger
I think Green Hat Carl is my favorite version. The goblet and drumstick are just so on-point.
Damn its so Satisfying.
Every time you said the word “sphincter”, I died a little bit inside. Great video as always! I loved it 😂
But those feelings stayed on the inside because of a sphincter, right?
next time, make a lego set to scale of it , but make it look fleshy because as we all know, lego minifigures live in building made of their own flesh.
Omg yessss
I like the knight fit he had 👌😁❤️🖤💙
MOMMY!!😭😭😭 low-key love it, but also really creepy lol love your content
This is genuinely one of the most terrifying things I think I have seen, I love it and hope it continues.
I've never been more terrified in my life...
Nice job Adam!
You must've had a pretty relaxing life then
Too bad Adam's minifig is going to kill you in your sleep
This is so epic. I especially relished my 8yo daughter's slightly horrified smile when I showed her. It's so cool that Carl can wear so many legit lego wigs and outfits. Wonderful, even better than the big one.
I appreciate how disgustingly beautiful your work is, don't stop 🐌!!
Perfectly on brand, and not even creepy anymore. Carl looks a bit worn down from life but has that, "just barely holding it together and not sobbing uncontrollably," expression. I think the viking? and the Han Solo are my personal favorites, but I laughed at you using what looks like a construction curve to give him a wizard robe; very creative!
Back in college in my "3D modeling for jewelry" class our first project was to replicate a standard 3x2 Lego brick. It was supposed to connect with a standard lego once printed. A lego could fit on to the posts of mine, and though the tolerance was spot on, it wouldn't quite snap onto a Lego. I think there was some slight shrinkage in the printing process. I also replaced the LEGO writing on the pegs with NORA in the same font. I was pretty chuffed with the whole thing because mine was the only one in the class to actually fit. It's one of the few things I kept from college that doesn't give me ptsd. 😅
Just found this channel. I've been dealing with chronic health issues which are currently debilitating me, this channel has been uniquely comforting. Thanks for making weird crap out of clay!
Same! I'm also struggling with chronic health issues and this channel has been the best thing ever right now
Looked up video ideas to steal, this came up. Thanks!
I love Adam's cackling 😂
You somehow managed to make the realistic Lego man look even more horrifying than he already was
As a Lego fan, this is both disturbingly horrifying and hilariously awesome.
you should totally make some unique pieces that can be swapped in
Really cool. They should make squishy legos if they aren't already. Brilliant idea.
Wow! you can make a living as a custom minifig maker. But ofcourse, make that as your side hustle. You cant stop making these awesome videos!
I'm very impressed that you were able to make them interchangeable like that. It's very cool. Also it's in my nightmares now. Hope you're happy. Can't wait for the next one.
I am so happy i know this channel
i love this channel so much
At 09:38 Carl looked like the jaundiced baby Michelin man 😱
As a lifelong LEGO fan and builder, I am thoroughly impressed, and genuinely terrified. Well done indeed.
i very much want this to be endorsed officially by lego! We NEED a line of production of CreepyLegos!
I am so addicted to legos i have many full set but after seeing this i would sell my soul for this
