Flickr user migpix captions this photo as “Zentradi child being held up by a Valkyrie Veritech Fighter VF-1S in Battloid mode.” If I remember Robotech correctly, the sizing is just about spot on. But did the Zentradi in that series have actual children, or just clones? It’s been too long for me to remember clearly. Anyway, to this day, I regret not having the Ulpio Minucci’s theme to Robotech as the processional music at my wedding. That is one awesome piece of music.

An enormous snow sculpture of Batman was spotted in Ludlow, Vermont. As you can see from another photo at the link, it rises up to the second storey of an adjoining building.

Oddee has a collection of some truly amazing ice sculptures, the most impressive of which is this massive ice castle in China. The other sculptures are also fascinating though. It always amazes me how much artistry is required to make one of these pieces when it will only melt away eventually anyway.
The folks over at 2pie blog have a pretty neat idea: make a snow print by pushing their faces into fresh powder on cars. The images are all concave, but make for an optical illusion of 3D sculptures!
I saw this circulating on the Net a few days ago, but didn’t get the chance to post it till now. Better late than never! Link
Christmas has come and gone and if you’re going through Santa Claus withdrawal syndrome, here’s a post for you: the world’s largest Santa Claus snow sculpture in Harbin, China.
China’s freezing northern city of Harbin is building what organizers say is the world’s largest Santa Claus ice sculpture.
The giant Father Christmas, 160 meters (525 ft) long and 24 meters (79 ft) high, centers on an enormous face of Father Christmas, complete with flowing beard and hat.
Its huge size and unseasonably warm temperatures have made the job especially challenging, said Tang Guangjun, one of the sculptors.
"It is even bigger and higher than last year’s, and more difficult. The weather swings between warm and cold, so it becomes very wet and slippery on the ice. It is very dangerous for us," he told Reuters Television.
