Nathan Sawaya is no stranger to LEGO and Conan O'Brien, but this time he's made another statue related to the two that he calls Flaming C.
A while back, Sawaya built a large LEGO statue of TV show host Conan O'Brien. This time, the artist revisits the celebrity by building a new piece by making him look like a superhero. The Flaming C depicts the host in full superhero gear complete with a cape, visors and a 'C' on the chest with what appears to be white lightning going through it. Sawaya has even incorporated O'Brien's epic beard that he had for a while up until Will Ferrell decided to shave it off in front of a live audience.
The Flaming C was featured at the infamous San Diego Comic-Con in July.
