There may not be an official LEGO Biddy Blas set on the horizon, but one Star Wars developer has offered fans a remarkably convincing alternative. Jordan DeVries, a UI/UX director who has worked on Star Wars: Zero Company and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, has created a custom brick-built version of the breakout Star Wars: Galactic Racer character--and made instructions available for anyone interested in putting one together at home.

The model is built by repurposing pieces from the LEGO Jurassic World Spinosaurus Escape set. Rather than requiring collectors to hunt down an enormous list of individual elements, DeVries' design uses fewer than half of the parts included in that box. That makes it a notably approachable fan project for builders who happen to own the set already, as well as for those considering picking it up specifically for the transformation.

Standing roughly 6.7 inches, or 17cm, tall when complete, the finished creation gives Biddy Blas an imposing shelf presence. It is not a tiny minifigure-scale nod tucked into a larger display. Instead, it is a full character model that captures the broad, instantly identifiable silhouette of the Crocin racer. For a personality who has quickly inspired an outsized response from Star Wars fans, that scale feels appropriate.

A fan favorite gets a brick-built tribute

Biddy Blas has become one of the most talked-about new faces connected to Star Wars: Galactic Racer. The character's aggressively memorable Huttese trash talk has helped turn him into a popular social-media presence, with fans embracing the kind of oddball, highly specific alien personality that Star Wars has always been especially good at producing. In the grand tradition of beloved background oddities and unexpected cult figures, Biddy Blas has quickly moved beyond simply being a character people encountered in one game.

That rapid popularity is exactly why a fan-built LEGO model makes sense. Official toy lines tend to take time, particularly when a character is newly introduced and not positioned as one of the franchise's biggest legacy leads. Even when official merchandise eventually arrives, it is far from certain that it would take the form of a substantial LEGO display build. DeVries' project fills that gap with something that is both playful and practical.

The builder described the creation as turning a LEGO Jurassic Park set into the character known as the Galactic Racer League's favorite "momma's boy." It is a fittingly cheeky presentation for Biddy Blas, whose appeal is tied closely to his brash, confrontational energy. The model also embraces one of his most repeatable phrases: "scrib doon." For fans who have adopted the line as part of the character's growing online vocabulary, it is difficult to imagine a more suitable project.

How the Biddy Blas build works

The custom model is a MOC, short for "My Own Creation," built from existing LEGO parts rather than sold as an official branded product. DeVries has posted free building instructions through Rebrickable, allowing builders to follow the design without having to reverse-engineer it from photos. That is an important detail, because models of this size can look deceptively simple from the outside while relying on careful internal construction to remain stable.

The main donor set is the LEGO Jurassic World Spinosaurus Escape kit. Its selection of parts evidently provides much of what is needed for Biddy Blas' body, limbs, head, and clothing-inspired shaping. The fact that less than half the box is used is helpful in two ways. First, it leaves plenty of pieces for other builds or for keeping the original Jurassic World model intact in some form. Second, it can be more economical than attempting to acquire every required part separately, especially when a design calls for particular colors, slopes, curved elements, or specialized connectors.

Builders should still keep the nature of a fan design in mind. A MOC is not assembled from a sealed, dedicated official set with a single standardized inventory and a printed instruction booklet. Anyone following the project should review the parts requirements carefully and confirm which version of the donor kit they have. But the concept is particularly welcoming compared with custom builds that depend on rare retired elements or dozens of separate orders.

  • Donor set: LEGO Jurassic World Spinosaurus Escape.
  • Instructions: Available for free through Rebrickable.
  • Parts usage: The design uses less than half of the donor set's pieces.
  • Finished height: Approximately 6.7 inches, or 17cm.
  • Builder: Jordan DeVries, who has worked on Star Wars: Zero Company and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Recognizable even with a few compromises

As with many fan builds made from a limited selection of existing pieces, DeVries' Biddy Blas is not intended to be a perfectly literal reproduction of every detail from the character's in-game appearance. DeVries has acknowledged that the outfit does not exactly match and that Biddy's racer medals are not represented. Those omissions are understandable within the constraints of working largely from one set, and they do little to diminish the result.

The more important achievement is that the character reads immediately. The model has the visual character needed to make someone recognize Biddy Blas at a glance, rather than merely seeing a generic alien creature assembled from bricks. Translating a stylized digital character into LEGO form requires choices about proportion and detail. A build has to balance the look of the source material against the structural reality of studs, joints, plates, and available shapes. Here, the broad design language survives the conversion.

That sense of recognition matters more than exhaustive screen accuracy for a creation like this. Biddy Blas is defined by a combination of physical presence and attitude. If a model can communicate that swagger from across a room, it has succeeded. The tall format also helps the project feel like a genuine display piece rather than a novelty assembled for a quick photograph and then dismantled.

DeVries' experience with LEGO remixes shows

This is not DeVries' first time finding unexpected possibilities inside official LEGO sets. The developer is an experienced MOC builder with a history of transforming established themes and kits into entirely different subjects. Previous creations include a Rocky build inspired by Project Hail Mary and a Monaco-style Formula 1 circuit constructed using elements associated with the Ninjago theme.

That background explains why the Biddy Blas model feels more considered than a simple parts swap. Reworking an existing set into something new is a distinct skill. It means evaluating not only what pieces are present, but also which colors and forms can be reinterpreted, what kind of internal support the collection permits, and how to make a finished object feel intentional rather than improvised.

There is also a satisfying connection between the project's method and its subject. Star Wars has always thrived on remixing: familiar archetypes, strange creatures, battered machinery, alien languages, old myths, and new personalities all coexist in the same universe. Taking a dinosaur escape set and rebuilding it as a loudmouthed racer from a galaxy far, far away is a very LEGO expression of that same creative spirit.

Why projects like this matter to gaming communities

Fan creations often become an extension of how a game lives beyond the screen. Screenshots, artwork, cosplay, mods, custom figures, and brick builds give players ways to keep engaging with the characters and worlds that stick with them. In Biddy Blas' case, the speed at which the character has inspired this kind of attention says a great deal about how effectively he has connected with the audience.

A custom LEGO project also has a communal quality that conventional merchandise does not always provide. The instructions let other people make the same character themselves, but every builder can also modify the end result. Someone might add the missing medals, revise the suit colors, create a small racing podium, or use the leftover Jurassic World pieces to build an environment around the model. A single design can become a starting point rather than an endpoint.

For now, DeVries' MOC is likely the best route for fans who want a large LEGO-style Biddy Blas on their shelf. It offers a recognizable rendition of a fast-rising Star Wars personality, makes smart use of a readily identifiable donor set, and comes with free instructions rather than leaving the build as a one-off showcase. Official LEGO recognition may be uncertain, but Biddy Blas no longer has to wait for it before joining a collection.

And if the character's voice is ringing in your head while you consider clearing some display space, there is only one appropriate response: scrib doon.
