Popular MOC Themes

Although there is a wide variety of themes MOC builders could create within, there are a few very popular themes which are common among builders.


Star Wars

Probably the most common theme found on the internet with MOC builders is Star Wars. Since the development of the official Star Wars line in the 1990s, MOC builders have been able to utilize several identifiable bricks to help develop a massive array of custom designs, although most of the designs DO utilize official products. Ranging from The Phantom Menace through Return of the Jedi, Star Wars MOCs have become a permanent institution.

Movie poster Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, is a science fiction film that debuted in 1983, and re-released with changes in 1997 and 2004. ...


Batman

Perhaps the second most common MOC to find on the internet is within the Batman theme, ranging from simple character designs to complex sets. Especially since the premiere of Batman: Revenge (The Batman LEGO Film), Batman Begins and the official LEGO Batman product line, these MOCs have begun to spread across the internet in droves. Unlike some other MOC designs, like Star Wars for example, most Batman models are free of utilizing the official products and are perhaps more "pure" MOCs. Batman Begins is a 2005 superhero film based on the fictional DC Comics character Batman. ...


Star Trek

Star Trek MOCs may hold the notability as one of the oldest themes of MOC builders, being around for much longer as a whole than perhaps the other themes combined. Such designs usually involve a recreation of a bridge of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), though several elements of the shows have cropped up over the years. The USS Enterprise is a fictional starship in the television series Star Trek, the USS Enterprise, (NCC-1701) was the ship in the original NBC TV series Star Trek, which chronicled the vessels most famous assignment, a five-year mission of exploration and diplomacy under Captain James T.

Stargate

Stargate MOCs are a growing fascination especially among the AFOL community, ususally consisting of the Gate Room and the the SG-1 team. It is still rare however to find many Stargate MOCs on the internet, but with the success of the MGM series, they are gaining popularity.
