Horrible news out of The Slow Mo Guys backyard this evening, as an engine of a LEGO cargo plane burst into flames, bringing the airliner down in to the heart of Slowmopolis City. The plastic destruction was massive, and all of it was caught by a high-speed camera. As a loyal Nerdist reader you know how much we love LEGOs, and you also know how much we love watching things in super slow-motion (especially things getting destroyed), so this latest from Dan and Gavin feels like something we conjured up from sheer force of will for our amusement. The pair threw a LEGO plane through a bustling LEGO city to let us watch it happen on their high-speed camera (though it required two attempts after the first one just featured a plane taking a nose dive into the edge of a table, which was funnier but way less satisfying).
And because watching fire and explosions in slow-mo is even better, they then showed the horrible results when the rescue crew forgot about all of that LEGO jet fuel, leading to even more plastic catastrophe. As they pointed out, this was a particularly silly video, even for them (which is really saying something), but we strongly encourage the slow-mo destruction of any and all LEGO pieces if it means a few mindless minutes of entertainment for us. What other LEGO builds should Dan and Gavin destroy next? Don’t be slow, get into our comments section and tell us your best ideas.

Ippolito even created hands for the Creepy Fig - a disturbing fusion between human fingers - complete with nails - and the claw-like plastic stumps that Lego characters' adopt. Norman Chan, the editor of Tested website, which bankrolled the character, explained: 'For this year's Comic-Con, Frank designed, sculpted, and painted a LEGO-inspired mask, made to look like a real-life version of a minifig.'Ippolito told Tested in a video interview: 'Kind of like an alternate universe, [I imagined] what it would have been if in the multiverse (a hypothetical set of finite and infinite possible universes) there's another world that's all Lego-inspired people.'Discussing the character's claws
, he added: 'They (Lego mini figures) have these weird cup finger things and this was the best way I could work out how to do it.'He explained that the time constraints meant that he wasn't able to develop it as much as he would have liked, meaning the head was extremely heavy for the wearer and the eyes were difficult to see out of. Surprisingly, the reaction was overwhelming positive at Wednesday's event and the creepy figurine is pictured interacting with adults and playing with children. Creepy Fig tried to make friends with a female Lego figure but doesn't seem to have much luck Surprisingly, the reaction was overwhelming positive at Wednesday's event and the creepy figurine is pictured interacting with adults and playing with children. When Creepy Fig - played by Ippolito - got to the Lego booth, a young boy immediately tried to approach him and tried to say engage in conversation.While another boy, sat in his pushchair, happily played with Creep Fig's hands as an adult stood behind taking photos.
Online however, people don't seem to be quite so accepting, with many taking to Twitter to express their horror.Jack wrote: 'That is pure haunting, the uncanny valley has become a canyon.'While Mirel joked: 'No, that's ok, I didn't *need* to sleep tonight.'And TomFM was full of praise: 'This is certainly one of franks most subtle yet brilliant pieces. The hands were hilarious!'After the event, Ippolito removed the head and hands - which had sweat pouring out of them - and declared that the experience had been a 'little foggy' but fun.
